After producing 2,500 units, Porsche has officially ended production of the 911 Dakar.
As reported by Boosted, this unique model will not be revived.
The 911 Dakar stands out from the standard 911 (specifically the Carrera) with its raised ground clearance of approximately 50 mm. The model also features wider fenders and side skirts, giving it a more rugged appearance. Designed for off-road capability, the 911 Dakar is equipped with specialized features for handling challenging terrain.
Interestingly, Porsche wasn’t the only brand exploring off-road sports cars—Lamborghini followed suit with the Huracán Sterrato, a V10-powered "off-roader" that shares a similar ethos.
A Collector's Treasure
The final 911 Dakar is a special edition with a color scheme inspired by the Porsche 911 that triumphed in the 1984 Dakar Rally. It boasts 480 horsepower from a 3.0-liter twin-turbo boxer engine, with all-wheel drive as standard.
Instead of the original white livery, this edition is painted in Signal Yellow, with Gentian Blue Metallic replacing the traditional blue. A stripe in Lampedusa Blue separates the two colors, and the rims are also finished in Signal Yellow to match the bodywork.
The identity of the buyer for this last 911 Dakar is still undisclosed, though reports suggest it has been sold to an Italian sports car collector.
Before its delivery, the car will be displayed at the Porsche Museum.
The production of this final unit was handled by Porsche's Sonderwunsch (German for "special wish") program.
