Porsche recently launched the Porsche Sonderwunsch 911 Dakar edition at its Zuffenhausen facility. Porsche created this highly personalized model to demonstrate its highest level of customization for an Italian sports car collector.
A Look Back at the 911 Dakar
Back in November 2022, the Porsche 911 Dakar was built to excel both on and off the road. Its ground clearance is 50mm higher than the standard 911 Carrera with sports suspension, making it well-suited for rugged terrain. Standout off-road features include red, forged aluminium recovery eyelets at the front and rear, widened wheel arches, and enhanced sills. Powered by a 3L twin-turbo 6-cylinder engine, the 911 Dakar delivers 480 PS (353 kW) and 570 Nm of torque. Further, paired with a distinctive boxer engine soundtrack.
Porsche Sonderwunsch 911 Dakar: Custom Specs and Unique Design
The final unit, delivered in the Porsche Museum, has gone significant customization under Porsche’s Sonderwunsch program. The striking 3-tone paint job on its exterior was influenced by the 1984 Paris-Dakar Rally. The major colors are Signalyellow and Gentianbluemetallic, with a Lampedusablue stripe—a shade created in partnership with the car’s owner—completing the design. The LED Matrix headlamps, black stainless steel protection features, and wheels with Lampedusablue rims and Signal yellow spokes enhance its rough appeal.
