Porsche Sonderwunsch has created a bespoke livery for the last 911 Dakar, a unique car designed by an Italian Dakar collector. The car looks great, even without the fancy paint.
However, this sports car has kept some old colours, like the Rothmans-inspired scheme or the 1971 rally livery, which gives it a more racy look. There are only 2,500 examples of the 911 Dakar.
The rally design package includes a tri-colour paint scheme of Signal Yellow, Gentian Blue Metallic, and the new Lampedusa Blue, named after an Italian island in the Mediterranean.
The top of the car is finished in a luxurious yellow, while the Lampedusa Blue Waves separate it from the darker Gentian Blue Metallic. The wheels are finished in Lampedusa Yellow with blue accents, and even the LED headlights have a subtle Lampedusa ring.
The colour scheme continues with Lampedusa Yellow accents and stitching lining the centre console, dashboard, and door panels. The 911 Dakar logo is embroidered in the same colour on the front headrests of the Sport Plus seats, and even the transmission gets a subtle Lampedusa Yellow accent.
Everything remains the same in the power department, with the 911 Dakar still powered by a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged six-cylinder engine that produces 475 horsepower. It’s mated to an eight-speed PDK transmission and standard all-wheel drive.
Hydraulic actuators in the suspension struts can extend the car’s already 50mm-heightened ground clearance by an additional 30mm, bringing the total to 191mm, which is greater not only than that of Ferrari Purosangue but also than the Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato, Dakar’s closest competitor, the, which manages 171mm.
Finally, since Porsche offers many variants within the 911 Carrera model, we hope that the Dakar variants will not be exclusive to this generation only and that the German manufacturer will continue to provide a car with high clearance with each future generation of the greatest and most famous Porsche model.
