Porsche 911 Dakar | CRAZY Test Programme on Gravel, Sand and Snow

Porsche is celebrating an extraordinary world premiere at the Los Angeles Auto Show: the new Porsche 911 Dakar is just as comfortable off-road as it is on the highway.
More than 10,000 kilometres of off-road testing
In testing the car, the development engineers around General Project Manager Achim Lamparter didn’t only restrict themselves to intensive use of the off-road proving grounds in Weissach. In fact, the development team tested the 911 Dakar around the world under extreme conditions to the tune of more than half a million km, including more than 10,000 km off-road. The Château de Lastours test track in southern France, for example, was used to test the car’s handling on typical rally courses and fine-tune the suspension. Kilometre after kilometre of loose surfaces really put the Porsche 911 Dakar to the test.
Walter Röhrl impressed by handling on snow and ice
Two-time world rally champion Walter Röhrl naturally couldn’t resist the opportunity to put the 911 Dakar through its paces at the extensive testing grounds in Arjeplog, Sweden. The thick ice of the frozen lakes offers Porsche test drivers the ideal basis for an approximately 90 per cent closed compacted snow surface - a more realistic scenario than pure sheet ice.
Intensive test programme in rocky and sandy deserts
The new 911 Dakar also had to prove itself on fast sand tracks and high dunes. In Dubai and Morocco, test drivers mercilessly drove the off-road sports car up steep, 50-metre dunes in temperatures of up to 45 degrees Celsius time and time again.

LOVE Porsche, BUT KNOWING Porsche built a FEW of these as TEST MULES and they ended up in the CRUSHER//Crushes ME.

[@Ohlukei]

I still think that the low ground clearance and the ultra wide racing tires do not fit the demands of the rally dakar. These have probably only be fitted to make it look "cool" 👀

How bad is this for the bearing and brakes? Getting sand everywhere in the nooks and crannies…..air filters and intake manifolds? Must be very bad for the brakes and discs and other moving parts…..incredibly abrasive??? Can someone shed some light on how bad this would be for the vehicle?

like Porsche but what has this 911 to do with OffRoad driving, for that money buy a Ford F150 Raptor R with 700 horsepower and incredible offroad spread and confort and with the rest of the money do a 3 month travel accros Africa and enjoy, the Porsche will not survive that....

Shut up, you idiot!
Listen, smart ass: Porsche still has a very long tradition in Rallye racing, because the first racing success of any Porsche 911 model was in 1968 with a Rallye Monte Carlo victory. It's not only about the two victories at the Paris-Dakar race in the 1980's with Porsche 953 and 959 models, because Porsche was active in Rallye Racing when the Ford F150 didn't even exist, you idiot trashtalker!
If you don't know these facts about the Porsche 911, just shut the fuck up, you annoying clown!
Porsche doesn't such things without a purpose. Your favoured shitty "Ford F150 Raptor R" maybe is a better hardcore off road vehicle, because it has huge ground clearance as a pick up off road vehicle, but it totally sucks as a Rallye racing vehicle with the speed of a Porsche 911 Dakar!
The Porsche 911 Dakar is about 1000 kilograms lighter than a Ford Raptor F150, you annoying idiot! Can you imagine what this means...??
You seemingly are too fucking naive to imagine what this really means in terms of acceleration differences between these two vehicles on gravel, sand or snow.
An idiot like you should really shut the fuck up, dude!
The Porsche 992 911 Dakar would totally destroy a Ford Raptor at a really fast Rallye stage, period!
Like in this video, with the 911 Dakar it's about very fast Rallye driving, but certainly not fucking dumb "rock crawling". The 911 Dakar has nothing to do with "ultra hardcore rock crawling", you dumbfuck!
You are a fucking clown, dude!

Subaru Impreza just laughs at this helpless frog.

[@alp.9672]

Dakar>Impreza

[@vivalasvegas2826]

Now they should make an electric version of this

[@reayeasotdesmond7839]

No to electric yes to gasoline

[@vivalasvegas2826]

My friend it's possible for both

[@egg0534]

For what

[@vivalasvegas2826]

Ur mother recently requested it

[@James-zj3ud]

And it will almost definitely weigh half a tonne more than this one
