Porsche 992 Dakar Values Hold Strong

Background

Unveiled at the 2022 Los Angeles Auto Show, the 992.1-generation 911 Dakar was conceived as a modern tribute to Porsche’s overall victory in the 1984 Paris–Dakar Rally. Production was capped at 2,500 units worldwide, underscoring its status as one of the most distinctive limited-run 911s of the modern era. Power comes from a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six delivering 473 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft of torque.

Compared to a standard Carrera, the Dakar rides 50 mm higher, with an additional 30 mm of lift available at both axles, allowing ground clearance to reach 191 mm. A suite of purpose-built components further separates it from any other 911, including Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus tires, a fixed CFRP rear wing, a GT3-style carbon-fiber hood, wider track widths, and extensive stainless-steel underbody protection—elements that make the Dakar a genuinely off-road-capable interpretation of the 911 formula.
