The Porsche 911 is veering off-road (again). Say hello the newly confirmed 911 Dakar, preparing for its world debut in LA next week – a taller-riding, tougher-bodied sports car ready for rally-raid duties 🏜
Stuttgart describes the Dakar as ‘the first two-door sports car to offer outstanding off-road capabilities.’, a multi-purpose muddy supercar first shown as a concept car in 2019 and now nearing production.
