Porsche has a long history of taking the 911 into places it probably was never supposed to go. From the Paris-Dakar Rally to the legendary Rothmans 959 race car of the 1980s, those cars helped inspire the 911 Dakar. Built on the 992-generation 911, the Dakar quickly became one of Porsche's most sought-after modern models, with all 2,500 examples selling out. As demand continues to grow, so does interest in finding one for sale.

These examples come from Porsche’s Stuttgart factory and are available in some of the brand’s most desirable finishes, including cars equipped with the exclusive Roughroads design package. The package pays tribute to the Rothmans 959 that helped inspire the Dakar in the first place. The factory lift kit gives the 911 a more aggressive stance while making room for two-tone five-spoke wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires. And for owners who want to take things even further, Porsche offers a range of additional accessories to personalize the car.

Inside, the 911 Dakar still feels like a Porsche, but there are plenty of details that remind you this car was built for more than just paved roads. Alcantara and leather cover the cabin, while the digital displays and familiar Porsche controls keep everything feeling modern and driver-focused. There are also plenty of subtle touches that tie the interior back to Porsche’s racing history.

Power comes from a twin-turbocharged flat-six producing 473 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. It’s paired with Porsche’s quick-shifting dual-clutch transmission and an all-wheel-drive system designed to handle much more than a typical 911 ever would. The Dakar can reach 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds and has a top speed of 149 mph, impressive numbers for a car that’s equally at home on dirt and pavement.

With only 2,500 examples built, the 911 Dakar was always going to be a special 911. Now that production has ended and allocations are sold out, finding the right one has become even more important. Browse the Porsche 911 Dakar examples currently for sale on duPont REGISTRY clicking the links below.
