On March 29, Porsche 911 Dakar announced the domestic price, priced at 2.288 million yuan, and pre-sales started simultaneously. In addition, the officially announced optional price of Rallye design components is 321,900 yuan. It is reported that the new car is limited to 2,500 units worldwide and will be unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show, which opens on April 18. The vehicle is inspired by the 911 championship car that won Porsche its first overall victory in the Paris-Dakar Rally in 1984. It was also the first time that 911 was equipped with a four-wheel drive system.
911 Dakar further demonstrates timekeepingThe all-round model concept of the Czech 911: higher ground clearance and a specially adjusted chassis system make this two-door sports car equally at home on roads and tracks in off-road scenarios; the new body shape exudes a unique off-road style , demonstrating the exclusive identity of limited edition.
The strong performance of the 911 Dakar first comes from the significantly raised ground clearance, which is 50mm higher than the 911 Carrera with sports suspension. In addition, the standard lift system can raise the front and rear of the car by an additional 30mm, and the ground clearance and breakover angle are comparable to those of conventional SUV models. In the "high" setting, the vehicle can run at speeds up to 170km/h; when the vehicle speed exceeds 170km/h, the vehicle will automatically lower its height to the "standard" position.
The ultimate off-road performance also benefits from two new driving modes: "Rallye" mode uses a more rear-biased four-wheel drive, which is more suitable for driving on soft and uneven roads, and "Offroad" ( Off-Road) mode is designed for maximum traction to tackle tricky terrain or sand. In this mode, the vehicle will automatically enable high ground clearance. Both modes are equipped with a new Rallye Launch Control function, which can achieve powerful acceleration performance on soft roads and allow about 20% wheel slip.
Specially developed Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus tires (245/45 ZR 19 front, 295/40 ZR 20 rear) are supplied as standard, with a thick 9mm deep tread pattern, reinforced sidewalls and tread Double-layer structure with excellent cut resistance. In addition, Pirelli P Zero summer and winter tires with double-wall sidewalls are available as an option.
In addition, on the 911 Dakar, Porsche provides a roof basket for the 911 model for the first time, with a load capacity of 42kg, which can accommodate a series of pulling equipment such as luggage bags, folding shovels, and rescue boards. The optional Rallye design package is created by Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, the exclusive customization department of Porsche, and is painted in two-tone White/Gentian Blue metallic paint. This is the first time that Porsche offers a combination of two-tone paint and decorative car stickers on a standard model. On the side of the car, customers can choose a personalized event number between 0 and 999. In addition to the red and gold rally decorative stripes, this component is also inspired by the 1984 Paris-Dakar championship car, with the same "Roughroads" logo inlaid on the door.
Shadow Green metallic paint is the exclusive standard body color of the 911 Dakar, which further enhances the off-road atmosphere of the new car. Echoing this, is the standard Race-Tex interior with shadow green stitching. In addition, many off-road design details include red front and rear aluminum tow rings, widened wheel wells, sills, and stainless steel protectors on the front, rear and sills. On the redesigned front face, the side air outlets are also protected with stainless steel grilles to prevent flying stones.
In terms of power, the 3.0T twin-turbo six-cylinder engine can achieve an output of up to 353kW and a maximum torque of 570N·m. The new car accelerates from standstill to 100km/h in just 3.4 seconds. Paired with all-terrain tires, the bestThe maximum speed can reach 240km/h.
The weight of the 911 Dakar is controlled at 1605kg. A series of lightweight measures include: a newly developed carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) fixed rear spoiler; a CFRP front cover with eye-catching air outlets derived from the 911 GT3; lightweight glass and batteries, etc. At the same time, adaptive sports seat upgrades (18-way electric adjustment) are provided as standard equipment, and the rear seats are eliminated.
