Limited to 2,500-units worldwide, the 2023 Porsche 911 Dakar debuted at the LA Auto Show today and it will be offered with the Rallye Design Package inspired by the iconic winning car of the 1984 race. What you notice first is that it’s 50mm higher than on a 911 Carrera model with Sport Suspension, and the standard lift system can raise the front / rear an additional 30mm.
Aside from the suspension, customers also get Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus tires that measure 245/45 ZR 19 in front and 295/40 ZR 20 at the rear. Power comes from a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six Boxer engine making 473 hp and 420 lb.-ft. of torque, enabling it to hit 60 mph in 3.2 seconds, while topping out at 150 mph due to the higher cross-section of the all-terrain tires. Available next spring, priced from $221,900 USD.
