Ugh, I absolutely love this thing. Something about the look of a lifted, off-road version of a small sports car just looks so damn cool to me. Not to mention you’ll never have to worry about weather conditions and bottoming out like you normally might with other regular sports cars, so there’s never any excuse to not to drive it all the time! Love it.
@@0nlyCF well yeah, everything is huge now haha cars are getting bigger and bigger each new model generation. The new M2 is technically bigger than a 911 tho, which is still a pretty damn small car by today’s standards
Porsche really is killing it. GT3RS, Gt4rs, Sally edition & now the Dakar edition. It's like there something for everyone. It's good to see a company giving it all before the oncoming electric future.
and it's not like the an electrified porsche lineup will be any less exciting, the taycan is probably the coolest ev out there. l can't wait to see what porsche will come up with next
This shouldn't be a limited edition at all. This would sell like hot cakes for years to come. The limited edition could just be the one with the original colours of the Dakar and perhaps a few more special extras but leave a "normal" version for the rest of the people who wants one to go off-road just for fun.
I agree. Typically these brands do limited runs because it’ll resell for much more in the long run. Im with you on it should be a limited edition…probably cause I want one 😂
Disagree. This is a fun edition that collectors will enjoy, but it has a limited audience and will run its course quickly. It’s trendy right now, but most people understand that the 911 is a sportscar, and the Cayenne is far more off road capable, for less $
@@_Frimer_ clearly…,stay tuned and we will see. Ever heard of a fat bike? Look at what happened to those. They made off road 911’s in the 80’s. There’s a reason they didn’t continue with popularity. There are better tools for the job. This is just a fun tribute/throwback
This thing will maybe get used for Alpine winter Skiing vacations and Maybe some arab dune messing around but other than that this will be a concrete jungle queen
Doubt it, Porsche drivers are different. Haven't you seen the videos of even the base model Gt2 mudding?? I've even seen the older rally ones offroading. I'm sure it'll be put to the test, and Porsche knew that.
Hey car UA-camrs, please stop covering every new Porsche model until people can actually buy them. Even if you have the means and you call any Porsche dealer for any one of these cars, they laugh at your face or demand double or even triple over msrp.
We should be thanking the Cayenne and Macan for paying the bills and allowing all the different 911 variants to even exist. Their SUV line is what pays the bills, as VAG requires all their different car lines to support themselves.
This is the coolest vehicle Porsche has made in decades. I love it. And the Fact that it is a Porsche means you can actually take this off-road without worrying about breaking it.
You'll easily break the front lip. It's not that high and has a long overhang. Ittl get smashed on no time. This is more of a gravel road vehicle then anything else
Love the anecdote that this was faster than a Cayenne or Macan while testing in Morocco. Lighter weight should be the priority for every car, regardless of its intended purpose!
my friend... have you been to the wine counties of California? plenty of gravel dirt roads are traveled by exquisite cars... obviously not true off road, but still nothing will stop a rich person from their wine tasting.
You definitely will not see one. In Pennsylvania where we live (near Harrisburg) you can a year between seeing any 911 at all. The SUV's have taken over.
Never in my wildest dreams that I imagine Porsche taking a 911 GTS and turning it into an Overlander with a rooftent?! 911 Dakar just became my favorite modern 911
Shame it’s limited edition as I think it would sell tremendously. I regularly visit the Lake and peak District and it’s common for high end sports cars to be parked up at the bottom of trails etc if they had a car that fulfilled the sports thrill along with versatility of leaving the tarmac and not struggling to find somewhere to park that’s not a bumper scraper
Ive really enjoyed the fact that Porsche has just gone full 'give the people what they want (and even some things they didn't know they wanted)' in the last few years. The 911R, Speedster, GT4/RS, GT3 Touring... this Dakar plus heaps of others. I haven't always been a massive Porsche guy, but have really had my mind changed recently. Killer!
This is a really interesting thing to happen right after Marc Philipp Gemballa released a 40 piece limited edition of a RUF tuned 911 called „Marsien“. It was basically the same source of inspiration: a „Dacar specked“ 911 made for all terrain use espacially for driving in the desert.
DAKARME! Allocation is the key-move quickly! No matter cost, how limited or when they are released-there will ALWAYS be more buyers than supply...the key to Porsche's allure is high demand, rarity and desireability, partially driven by producing 1 vehicle less than demand warrants. Simply Genius. They happen to drive like no other machines produced. There is that whole thing too.
The Rothmans color scheme looks awesome! I'm sure it'll do fine on some sand and rally track, but please don't compare it to a Land Cruiser on an offroad track haha, it's a different sport.
That looks amazing, at the beginning I was wondering what it would look like in the rally livery and was blown away to see that Porsche are offering it as a paint job..sure you'd have to opt for that.. surely?!?!
0:35 - just a reminder, S of SUV stands for ... SPORT - Porsche is probably one of the very rare car manufacturers to build a true SUV ! having say that , this new 911 Dakar is stunning.
Whoever proposed this to the Porsche management, give that man a bloody estate.

Small? Porsches are absolutely huge these days
911 became too big for my taste.
Mad Max Vibes

Yea, porsche really killing it making a quarter of a million dollar off road car that no one will use off road. So cool.
something for everyone… with a household income of at least 200k
I can honestly say I'm digging this 911.
Hopefully not digging dirt because I want it to drive through it
I agree this car is the bomb!

I totally agree. I would buy one for sure and if it was not limited, it probably would cost around £120-130k. Perfect daily for me.
Imagine tossing your skis on the roof and ripping up to the slopes in this thing
I'd hook up my snowmobile trailer and pull my xrs into the wilderness lmao.
Avalanche comes outta nowhere lol
Uh.....then how will you get back to it when you get to the bottom of the mountain?
Im 100% doing this in the future 😂
Yes
Porsche is a special company. The design, the taste for style and consequence. So unique in quality and service. The best road cars ever.
Bore score and IMS?
I would buy this in a heartbeat...
If I had the money
Even if you had the money, they are all gone lol - it's impossible to get these sort of cars with all the games that are played at the dealers.
So would I. I'd be Dune Bashing every weekend.
Even if you have the money, you gotta pray that the dealer can get you an allocation first.
@Henrique If I was rich I could probably buy the dealership
Actually, even if you had the money you wouldn’t be able to buy it. Not until you buy many Porsches first…
This is the coolest thing ever. Every rich person on earth will be on the massive waiting list for this.
I’m not rich, but I’d still like to be on that waiting list.
I'm guessing you're not very cool?
The huracan sterrato is coming too
@@tommasol9701 I'm glad you can finally upgrade your car Hi-Fi.
Only 2500 though.
I'd daily this in our frosty Saskatchewan winters just cause it's amazing!
Looks amazing sadly most people wouldn’t use it for the purpose it was created for
This thing will maybe get used for Alpine winter Skiing vacations and Maybe some arab dune messing around but other than that this will be a concrete jungle queen
It will get used more for the purpose it was created for than if Porsche never built it-Does winter driving in the mountains qualify?
Not sure, most Porsche Owners are not exactly the collector-in-showroom types. I believe they will see quite some action.
Hey Porsche, add the damm radiator mesh to other models!
Doubt it, Porsche drivers are different. Haven't you seen the videos of even the base model Gt2 mudding?? I've even seen the older rally ones offroading. I'm sure it'll be put to the test, and Porsche knew that.
Nothing better than a 911 on a twisty mountain road..but to have this for the winter run to the Colorado slops would be amazing!
A Cayman 👀

This car for Dubai only
More companies should do stuff like this
VW is only selling it as an EV in Germany ...
Only Elon now, tesla ! More ?
Looks amazing and fun. To bad it's so expensive. If they were affordable then we'd see them everywhere.

This feels very naughty of Porsche, I thought this would be an aftermarket build. Super sick
Simply amazing. I was shocked when I saw the thumbnail then when they unveiled the tribute livery I was speechless.
this is the last thing i think about when someone brings up the 911. but i actually love this, bloody brilliant
Porsche knows their customers well, Dubai is about to get a load of these on their dunes
I will eat my own hand if i ever see one of these in the wild on anything more intense than a paved street that hasnt been swept in a week

There EXISTS NO OTHER sports car as versatile as a 911. The same chassis can be used in so many different ways it’s mind boggling
The "peoples car".
Never in my wildest dreams that I imagine Porsche taking a 911 GTS and turning it into an Overlander with a rooftent?! 911 Dakar just became my favorite modern 911
be so much cooler with quad rally lights
Agreed😊
Now it's time to make a 2022, 959 Porsche
Yes!
I wish they made it configurable option rather than a limited run.
Maybe they will at some point.
That suspension travel will come in handy for them speed bumps. Worth every penny.
Great review. And many thanks for saying Porsche instead of Porsch...
You know, Porsche is the company that makes Germans’ quirkiness look cool. They never disappoint
Just WOW! Porsche absolutely CRUSHED it, Rothmans livery and all. The true meaning of an Instant classic.
They changed Rothman's to Roughroad's, lmao xD
@@nebelwaffel8174 - No apostrophe in either title.
incredible! The ultimate 4 season car.

At first I thought why build so few. But at this price, they are making large $. Gorgeous. I wonder if I will ever ever ever see one in person.
I love it. Best car manufacturer in the world.
Again and again I fell in love with 911!
active aero might get jammed by sand and dirt as well? Not necessarily just smashed to bits
Its got my initials on the number plate too.. SOLD!

This has been rumored for about 3 years
Porsche have been absolutely nailing it lately. I can't wait to see what they do with an EV Cayman.
This is the only car I would want to drive up to Big Bear in California...when it's snowing, or to Joshua Tree for camping in the desert.

WOW I LOVE IT, IMAGINE THE ADVENTURES YOU COULD HAVE. TOW BAR AND SMALL BOAT ON THE BACK TOO... AWSOME! ! 😆😊😀☺😊😆😀
I can already see a future episode of Top Gear where Chris and Freddy do the Dakar in this. That would be mega to see imo.
思わず買ってみたくなるプレゼンテーションでした🙂
I am sure none of these will ever see the off road being stored in garages.
to your ending comment, I would also include the Taycan Cross Turismo in that lot. a lifted electric wagon, that's pretty silly.
I don't understand..what exactly is the point of this..🤔🤔🤔
To make people feel good and to make money. Also to allow the best engineers, designers and craftsmen to express their talent without compromise.
Just another limited edition Porsche model cash grab :)
Here for all of the small souled bugman commentary.
Not disappointed. 👏
This is nonsense.
I hate to see all the fun is for rich people! but again at least someone is having fun! Kudos to Porsche that never disappoints.
911. The only production car that competeted on rally, tracks....and Dakar! It's like a swiss-knife!!!!!
WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE THE ENORMOUS LEVEL OF ABSOLUTELY GOTTA HAVE!
love it!
I love it. But it doesn't sound too smart using alcantara on the dashboard, it would be a nightmare to remove drit and sand from it.
That 911 combines elegance with apocalypse, now thats my kind of car, lets offroad!
Part GTS, Part GT3, Part Turbo, Part Macan and Cayenne! Frankestein of a 911. Cool car that will be limited will be a lot of fun!
Wait a minute. The livery version…
Ok you got me let’s go
I just remember that Lamborghini is doing the same thing with the Hurucan, called the Sterrato. Comparison test I would see in the near future👍
Just wanting this already makes me feel cooler
This will be worth insanely high in the future. A good investment
When I first heard about this, I thought I was going to hate it, but when is saw this I absolutely loved it. Porsche got this car bang on right!
A lovely wink to Porsche’s history, but why a limited edition ?

Perfect daily for Eastern Europe roads.
This and the Huracan Sterrato are the best new cars to come out since 2020
Continental GT builds like this are also pretty cool
Nah fr this Video was insane and Porsche are still gonna build a lot of new cars for the future generations, I hope to see a new Model 🗿
Man what a thing of beauty this is, bloody FAN-TAS-TIC
Great, was going to watch “No Time To Die” tonight, been looking forward to it for ages! Well not now, thanks TG, thanks a lot.
