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.

Resale Values Hold Strong

The rising values of limited-edition Porsche 911 models continues to reflect intense collector demand. The 911 S/T, 50 Year Turbo, Heritage Edition and the Dakar are a few prime examples. Collectors prize these limited runs for their rarity, distinctive character, and strong ties to Porsche’s motorsport heritage. With rugged rally-inspired upgrades and a strict production cap, the Dakar in particular has become a standout rarity in Porsche’s modern lineup.

Based on scarcity and its unique off-road capabilities, the graph below shows how the Dakar continues to bring strong resale pricing. Additionally as Porsche moves toward electrification, limited edition ICE powered 911s are increasingly seen as future classics, hence why I have selected a few below to show their continued popularity and rising values.
