After 2,500 examples, Porsche 911 scrapped the Dakar assembly line. The car must never be rebuilt.
The Porsche 911 Dakar is now out of production after an otherwise very limited production period.
The last of the total of 2,500 examples has left the factory, and thus a chapter has ended for the factory in Zuffenhausen.
The 911 Dakar differs from the normal 911 (if the starting point is the regular Carrera, ed.) in that the ground clearance is raised by approx. 50 mm.
In addition, the car has wider fenders and side skirts that give it a more robust appearance. The car is designed to be able to handle terrain, and it therefore has a number of functions that make it suitable for off-road traffic.
PS: Lamborghini couldn't help but do roughly the same with the Huracan model. So the V10 bull could also be had as an 'off-roader' nicknamed Sterrato.

The final 911 Dakar is a special edition with a color theme inspired by the Porsche 911 that won the Dakar Rally in 1984.
Incidentally, the 911 delivers 480 horsepower from a 3-liter boxer engine with twin turbos. All-wheel drive is the only option.
Instead of the original white color, this version is painted in Signalyellow, while the blue color is replaced by Gentianbluemetallic. The two colors are separated by a blue line in Lampedusablue. The rims are painted in the same Signal Yellow as the bodywork.
The identity of the buyer of this last 911 Dakar has not been released, but it is said to be an Italian collector of sports cars. Before the car is delivered to its new owner, it will be exhibited at the Porsche Museum.
The price for a standard 911 Dakar started at DKK 4,489,900. So in Denmark. It is expected, however, that the anonymous buyer has paid 'much' more, when we just deduct the absurdly high tax.
It is Porsche's special Sonderwunsch, which means 'special wish' in German, that has been responsible for assembling the car.
In this way, Porsche can boast a little about what the absolute most well-off customers can get close to. Or rather; what the economy can pull.
According to figures from the Danish car importers' organization Mobility Denmark, there were 43 new Porsche 911s on the plates from 1 January to 31 October this year. It is difficult to say how many Dakar models there are in Denmark. But more are on records.
