    This is one of the coolest cars you've done, I love how practical it is. Seeing this inspired me to find the Dakar on a Porsche configure site and build my own. All in, it was $289,548. I got a lot of "no cost" options, the Dakar wheels, heated adaptive sport seats, I did pay $5,200 for the "Rally 1974" decal set, $550 for the heated sport steering wheel, and $4,540 for the Burmester high end surround sound system.

    As much as I love the technology and capabilities of the 911, I couldn’t really ever see me wanting one for more than a test drive until now. I can totally see a use case for a car like this. It’s not as an off-roader, but as a road tripper. There are a ton of interesting places out there that have rough gravel road access that you would normally have to take a pickup or SUV to get to. With something like this you can visit those places and have a sports car on the highways in between. I already have several trips planned. Now I just need to win the lottery.

      I agree 10000%. It's not about going off road, it's about going almost anywhere. Everyone I know they had porshes , lambos, hell even 80k pimped out F 150's are fo with tried about where they can drive it. Sports cars just do not do well on urban roads. Potholes, uneden roads, undeveloped roads, weather. This will go perfect. U sacrifice a little street grip and 0-60, but u can *actually* drive this in SNOW!

      Of course it's better executed than the Lamborghini Sterrato!
      The 911 Dakar is the ORIGINAL! Period!
      The Lamborghini is just a shitty rip off from the famed Porsche offroad philosophy of the 911 Dakar, which has strong roots to Porsches motorsport history, like the 959 Dakar versions.
      Compared to the 911 Dakar, the Sterrato is just for 100% a marketing bullshit vehicle without any daily driving purpose, because it's too fucking expensive.
      And at least the 911 Dakar doesn't cost half a million Dollars like the Sterrato...

      Partially incorrect. 19 degrees is the maximum for the 911 dakar, the number porsche used for the suvs is different: for the macan they used steel springs (16.5°, 19° with air suspensions), for the cayenne they used the normal ground clearance setup. The cayenne got a better ramp angle than the 911 dakar when air suspensions are in their highest setting (20.5°)
