2023 Porsche 911 Dakar is coming soon

After Lamborghini unveiled its off road car Huracan Sterrato, the last with ICE, Porsche announced the arrival of its all-road car, the Porsche 911 Dakar. The premiere will take place on November 16 at the LA Auto Show.

The car passed tests at the Nürburgring and final winter tests, and now it has arrived in the deserts of Morocco and Dubai. Test drivers and engineers were assisted on several occasions by the legendary German rally driver and Porsche ambassador for many years, Walter Röhrl.

The photos reveal that the Porsche 911 Dakar is not raised as much as the two test prototypes that recently reached the top of the highest volcano in the world, but it has a slightly higher suspension than the Carrera 4S on which it is based. The new front bumper, revised air intakes and fixed rear wing are just some of the novelties that the 911 Dakar has. At the rear there are round exhaust pipes and a one-piece light bar under the rear wing.

When it comes to the powertrain, Porsche has not announced technical details, but it is expected that the 911 Dakar will be powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged boxer 6 engine with 473 hp (348 kW) and 420 lb-ft (570 Nm) of torque. The same engine powers the Porsche Carrera 4 GTS. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 7-speed manual transmission or an 8-speed dual-clutch PDK.

Also, Porsche has decided to refresh several of its models such as the popular 911 Carrera and 911 (992) Cabriolet (as the 2024 model). Both cars will hit the market in 2023.
