The 911 Dakar we are offering is built for driving. Porsche made that clear right from the start when they selected number 2,002 out of 2,500 units as a press vehicle for Porsche Italy. There, the Dakar served faithfully, a fact documented by beautiful photos.
Even in its standard configuration, the Dakar shines with a large number of popular options such as the lift system, LED matrix headlights, and Surround View. When configuring this Dakar, Porsche didn’t hold back and included everything that was available, including the following highly sought-after options:
- Burmester®️ High-End Surround Sound System
- Rally Sport Package
- Rally Design Package in white/gentian blue metallic
- Rally Design Extension Package (!!)
We consider the last-mentioned option to be particularly important: the additional parts upholstered in Race Tex, especially the door sills, greatly enhance the car’s exclusivity. Last but not least, the car was also equipped with the highly coveted Porsche roof rack with auxiliary headlights, as well as accessories: two fuel and water canisters, two sand plates, and a shovel are also part of the package.
This Dakar Porsche served diligently during the market launch in Italy. After its work was done, the special 911 moved to a large sports car collection in Milan, where it was occasionally driven and additionally equipped with a very rare set of inlays by Justin Placek, which incorporate the colors of the Roughroad design and reflect them in the interior. In total, only 25 sets by Justin Placek in this design were produced specifically for 911 Dakar owners.
In addition to the already mentioned, very comprehensive standard equipment, Dakar No. 2002 is equipped with the following additional extras:
- Race-Tex interior with Rally Design Package featuring extended leather trim; contrast stitching in Shark Blue
- Rally Design Package in white/gentian blue metallic
- Silver sport tailpipes
- GT sports steering wheel, heated
- Ionizer
- Rally Sport Package
- Burmester®️ High-End Surround Sound System
- Titanium wheel bolts
- Rally Design Package in white/gentian blue metallic
- Rally Design Expansion Package
- Porsche Dashcam Pre-installation
- Lightweight and sound-insulating glass, including privacy glass
Equipped with all the options one could wish for in a Dakar, the Porsche Approved warranty, and the fact that you’re owning a piece of Porsche Dakar history in the form of a former Porsche press vehicle, Dakar No. 2002—combined with the refundable VAT—offers the perfect package for unlimited Porsche fun off the beaten path.
