@Julius Sama with the house and energy prices + inflation & coming recession in the UK it could be cheaper just to get a Dakar and live a simpler life ( if you are in the UK) 😅
In an era moving away from combustion engines, it's great to see Porsche and Lamborghini reluctant to let them go, and not just by releasing another regular model, but with left-field variants like the 911 Dakar and Huracán Sterrato. Keep the fires burning 🔥
Companies aren’t planning (but for a few) to move away from gas completely until they are forced to from what I can tell. Don’t worry bud, ur gas engines will be around for many a day.
Wow this video presentation is beyond sick. Roy your narrative, the videography and your entire production have done an amazing job. I have watched other 911 Dakar reviews and yours is simply several notches above the rest.
Even a better intro that Top Gear itself. Scenes, background music and the slow mo pics. You can notice the effort and love for cars as well as the intention of creating something unique for the audience.
Amazed by this variation of the 911. Loved the review gave a very clear and concise description of the benefits of this car as an alternative to other off road vehicles- with the height of the suspension etc and something different that you do not see other manufacturers doing in their range of vehicles… looking forward to further innovation from the guys at Porsche….
Traditional YT/TV car reviews should look like this or not look at all. Amazing work, one of the best in the automotive media, ever. Also, new dream car unlocked, because of this review. I want one.
I'm glad to see all terrain sports cars finally arriving. There was that Aixam Megatrack in the 1990s... and the AMC Eagle SX4 kinda existed. Now there seems a handful of them so maybe we'll start seeing more affordable cars go this way too (raised 4wd Mustang that isn't also a SUV, for example)
Another great review backed up by some truly amazing photography from Rory and the team. Would really love to watch this on the big screen to enjoy every second again and again; and yes - it does make you dream of owning and driving a 911. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Agreed. Shorter as well. And Rory is the top dog as presenters go. But good to see TG taking it to the snow. Next video for Rory I hope, and ideally near me (French Alps…..). 😂
Open your mind and think about it... It's the best solution for someone who wants a Dakar rally car, a WRC car and a highly capable sports car all in one and without having to pay for their extreme cost to buy them and also maintain them... Well played Porsche!!! Fantastic presented for one more time Rory and the whole team!!! PS I'm poor. Time to have a spin with my humble Hyundai and dream for a Dakar...
This might be the first factory spec bulit 911 off road, but I remember in the 80's/90's seeing people's Porsche cars modded for off road complete with the roof rack setup
I absolutely love this car. If / when I'm rich it's a definite buy. A rugged Porsche, that I don't mind just using day to day. Speed bumps, pot holes etc....no worries However I would really like them to do a every day version as such. No role cage and just a bit more luxury orientated.
I've watched a bunch of different videos (Top Gear, etc.) on the 911 Dakar after the press was able to get their hands on them to test drive them in harsh conditions but I have to say that this was the most beautifully done. Kudos to the team who put this together!
I really hope that this will start a trend among all the manufacturers to bring back their estates with high ground clearance. I myself would love any Allroad, Allterrain, Alltrack, Scout or whatever they will call them before having an SUV. These type of cars, like the 911 Dakar, have so much better handling than an SUV, but they don't lack the ground clearance needed for rough roads.
Curious to see how this Dakar would fend in the harsh Canadian winter since the nearest sand dune I can find is at my elementary school’s playground for little children and I think the school staff would have a thing or two to say about me doing drifts there in my Dakar…nonetheless great video as always. Rory for Mad Max 2!! 💪🏼
nice intro cinematography & song, great overall video, most appealing Porsche to me. in that exact spec, if I'm ever rich enough to own 1, i just might, but it'l prol be distant memory or classic in an electrified world by then
The perfect road trip car, it has the power, the espace, the comfort, and the ground clearance to not be worried about pot holes or making a wrong turn and be on a dirty gravel road
They must do it, it will be a huge hit. Not many years left till complete electrification, so they should go all in and after 10 year to continue adapt this style in new ev
they should do a toned down but similar package for the base /S. Would be so much more useful especially for the horrendous tarmac often found around Malaysia.
@@ibrahimmuyibi4489 why am I not even surprised you would be saying KL, come to Sarawak, you are practically on the moon if you experience driving on our road lol
Thank you for creating a story rooted in history, emotion, and magic. Makes us all feel like kids again. People may say there is no reason for its existence. But there absolutely is. It’s important to create things that comfortable, “rational” people find irrational because it puts a smile on the faces of everyone else that didn’t follow the script in life as well. And in this case-when the crazy ones out vote the suits-beautiful things can happen. Just waiting for the upgrade kit for my 991 GTS 🤣
I think you’re right, Rory, this car makes no sense, but yet it makes complete sense! 🤪 I’m gonna say that the 911 Dakar is quite impressive, it’s a cute and fast little off-roader
Considering the amount of speed bumps & suspension breaking potholes in a lot of our cities, this would make a good daily driver
For that reason, I’d have this over my 992 S any day.
Yes and you can live in it full time and start van life with that tent on top⛺️. Home free 😀
@@larsstougaard7097 cant be serious :D
@Julius Sama with the house and energy prices + inflation & coming recession in the UK it could be cheaper just to get a Dakar and live a simpler life ( if you are in the UK) 😅
Haha I was thinking the same thing. It would be kind of nice driving a 911 that you could just bomb over potholes
I’ve never wanted a Porsche as bad as I want this.
They might make more versions of the Dakar
@@whosdondada unlikely, that would really piss off the buyers of this one that think it is exclusive.
Smoking weed & seeing the smoothest car design
@@olivergriffiths4445 Porsche chairman Oliver Blume even said there could be more off-road 911 variants after the Dakar.
@@whosdondada Oh really, I didn't know that. Huge if true
Best Presentation of the 911 Dakar on the Internet so far. autotrader takes it to a new level again. 👍🏼💯
The cinematography in the first segment was amazing, well done to the production crew 👏👏
exactly
I think it was inspired by the ford raptor's ad. I watch it, often.
If Rory was in anything else you might have been afraid for his safety
Shamelessly stolen from the RAM TRX "Sandman" trailer
@@nickorette I'd never seen that before I saw this comment. Fair enough, they beat me to it. If I'd seen it there's no way I'd have copied it.

They're gonna sell big time imo
@@pollumG impossible because they're in limited numbers
@@JTM610 🤔😋

Damnn Huracan Sterrato is so good too 🔥
My feed just got bombed with 911 Dakar reviews, the embargo is a funny thing 😂. Autotrader will definetly produce the best review of the Dakar
Legit the only vid I decided to watch
Rory, you were really made for this, your passion goes far beyond what the screen can show/tell , all the best
Wow this video presentation is beyond sick. Roy your narrative, the videography and your entire production have done an amazing job. I have watched other 911 Dakar reviews and yours is simply several notches above the rest.
Welcome to Morocco 🇲🇦 we are so proud you are making your video here ❤
I love it, “WE GAVE IT THE SAME GROUND CLEARANCE AS ANY TOYOTA and now it can go ANYWHERE” lol
But it's a Toyota.
Even a better intro that Top Gear itself. Scenes, background music and the slow mo pics. You can notice the effort and love for cars as well as the intention of creating something unique for the audience.
Their production quality is better than most shows
And it keeps improving with each video
Reminds me of how good classic Top Gear was. Brilliant to watch

They’re called rally cars.
Another great review backed up by some truly amazing photography from Rory and the team. Would really love to watch this on the big screen to enjoy every second again and again; and yes - it does make you dream of owning and driving a 911. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It's perfect for a daily driver in South Africa. We used to drive on the left side of the road. Now we drive on what's left of the road.
Wow, this is even better than the top gear video, amazing work guys, that sandman intro was boss.
Agreed. Shorter as well. And Rory is the top dog as presenters go. But good to see TG taking it to the snow. Next video for Rory I hope, and ideally near me (French Alps…..). 😂
You go Rory. The cinematography is this review is Academy Awards level. You go Rory. Spectacular!
Whoever made the edit needs a raise that was art.
Open your mind and think about it...
It's the best solution for someone who wants a Dakar rally car, a WRC car and a highly capable sports car all in one and without having to pay for their extreme cost to buy them and also maintain them...
Well played Porsche!!!
Fantastic presented for one more time Rory and the whole team!!!
PS I'm poor. Time to have a spin with my humble Hyundai and dream for a Dakar...
I saw every 911 Dakar review so far. This is the best one! I also like this spec the most with this fancy green and not the retro stylings.
This might be the first factory spec bulit 911 off road, but I remember in the 80's/90's seeing people's Porsche cars modded for off road complete with the roof rack setup
This has to be the best video I'v seen this week. Amazing story, presentation, cinematics... And the 911.. Probably my dream car. Good job.🎉
The quality of this video, im blown away !
Rory is by far one of the most brilliant presenters in the automotive industry!
I absolutely love this car.
If / when I'm rich it's a definite buy.
A rugged Porsche, that I don't mind just using day to day.
Speed bumps, pot holes etc....no worries
However I would really like them to do a every day version as such.
No role cage and just a bit more luxury orientated.
definitely it should be more livible to live with
I've watched a bunch of different videos (Top Gear, etc.) on the 911 Dakar after the press was able to get their hands on them to test drive them in harsh conditions but I have to say that this was the most beautifully done. Kudos to the team who put this together!
I was surprised it was filmed in my homecountry! Outstanding video!
The roof tent and rack is epic. I would love to add all of that to my super pre-owned Porche, and just have fun driving. Go anywhere fast.
Amazing doc as always! Thanks Rory
The cinematography for the intro is off the chain
Good review as always ... but AMAZING filming!!
The best video on this beautiful beast on YT
I really hope that this will start a trend among all the manufacturers to bring back their estates with high ground clearance.

Damn Rory… that intro was epic 👏👏
Mann Mann the videos are getting better everyday well done to you and the team.🙏🤞🏾😩
A 911 for dirt is just crazyyy😅😮
For this video, the opening song is nothing short of PERFECT!
There is a fine line between madness and genius - This is both
Amazing video. Wow, that Porsche looks amazing in the desert! I wish I could drive it someday.
Fun in the name of Science, you've done such a great job with the narration, back-story and video, they almost caused me to reach into my 401K.
Thank you for those wholesome videos man
When I first heard of this I was like why? But now I see why and it looks great and you do some of the best videos my friend
GOOD TO SEE YOU RORY, HURRY BACK!!!!!!
I clicked because I thought it was Top Gear. Hey, Rory's back! Great video
Nice! Really enjoyed every minute of this.
what a beauty. I haven't been so impressed with cars in a while. I'm in love with it.
Wow! Enjoyable as always. Great videography.
Curious to see how this Dakar would fend in the harsh Canadian winter since the nearest sand dune I can find is at my elementary school’s playground for little children and I think the school staff would have a thing or two to say about me doing drifts there in my Dakar…nonetheless great video as always. Rory for Mad Max 2!! 💪🏼
Watch the Top Gear review where they take it high altitude in a German winter for some fun in the snow. I think you’ll be impressed….👍
The cinematography at the beginning it brilliant. Great song selection
this video really reminded me of Richard Hammond’s reviews in top gear
Well done Rory ! Superb presentation 👌
damn these clips! 🔥🔥went all out with the production on this one.
awesome video guys the intro was fire
Okay. This is the most 🔥 video you have created. Keep it up
The intro is just flawless
Unique car and fantastic cinematography!
Great video!

That smile of unbridled glee at 1:06 to 1:09 is😂😂 why I am subscribed!
The roof tent can hold up to 140kg and can hold two people. That's two very slim people.
This is probably the best car in the world and nobody has an idea of it!😮
That car is an instant classic. Masterpiece 👏🏽
It’s looks so beautiful sitting off the ground
Another fantastic Rory performance!
Porsche has made the one car that can deliver on all grounds and it is extremely remarkable
What a review !! I never wanted a Porsche more than this
Another good video as always
Loved this episode! Wow!
Beautifully shot and edited
Awesome car and review. What a great idea. I’d love this in South Africa.
I hope they make this a regular model, how awesome is this car.
They must do it, it will be a huge hit. Not many years left till complete electrification, so they should go all in and after 10 year to continue adapt this style in new ev
That intro is the definition of perfection

Which part of Malaysia are you living in ?? I live in Kuala Lumpur and gombak and the roads are alright
@@ibrahimmuyibi4489 why am I not even surprised you would be saying KL, come to Sarawak, you are practically on the moon if you experience driving on our road lol
Brilliant production! There is NO substitute!
when i saw the spade, it reminded me of a particular german spade in the 30s and 40s
i love it. They have rally heritage and also, the five spoke classic wheels !!!! awesome

This is crazy. Thanks about this. I love it.
When you say, "This is madness!" You sound similar to one of the emissaries in The 300!
Loved the B-roll in this
Awesome review!!!!
Rory is going places !
Been waiting for this, thanks, and well done with this presentation 😎
This is my favorite 911 now.
What a movie 🍿
Dude, the editor needs a raise man! That was 🔥
Rory reviens always on point.
I think you’re right, Rory, this car makes no sense, but yet it makes complete sense! 🤪
I’m gonna say that the 911 Dakar is quite impressive, it’s a cute and fast little off-roader
I think this is one of the best reviews to date 😎👍🏾👍🏾
So interesting, once the embargo is lifted, to see how different channels approach the same press launch. This is phenomenal in its own way. Thanks!
Fuel is definitely back
I saw it on the road here in Pretoria, South Africa and I screamed like a little boy.
🤪🤣😂
Love Porsche, great review sir. 👍 from morocco
This is a car I absolutely want, absolutely don’t need and absolutely can’t pay.
Too cool. Thanks Rory.
£220k Porsche actually used to rally in Dhakar 0%, but 100% in London limited at 20mph. Next Arctic then Amazon versions please.
brilliant cinematography
Wow! I am speechless!
Great video. Love the car. Huge respect to Porsche for doing something so weird
