Why did they make this?! Porsche 911 Dakar review

The Porsche 911 Dakar comes from a world where 480hp off-road sports cars are an absolute necessity. I'm not sure that world exists, but I'm bloomin' glad this car does. It's a 911 with less grip, more body roll and a surprising amount of charm and character. Join me for a full review of it, both on-road and mildly off-road, including a look at the practicalities (that's a quick bit) and what it's like to live with.

Given the awful state of the road surfaces and drainage on our roads, Dakarating sports cars makes sense.

[@rotoehu9266]

Enjoyed your review Tim, in fact imo far more entertaining than Harry’s one 👍

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

Thank you very much! Appreciate that

[@cotswoldphotographers]

It’s nuts but I love it 😍

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

Same!

[@TheWynne71]

I feel that the mustard cargo shorts and socks only added to the bonkersness (real made up word) of the car.

[@kevinwong2698]

my fav 911

[@GadgetsBoy]

Prob one of my fav Porsches

[@vhol93]

love it

[@paulwardzynski3265]

Fun review. It's really just a giant Corgi/Dinky car; did it come in a lovely box that you don't want to throw away?

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

Hahaha I wish.

[@DontPanicDear]

Most fun you’ve had in a car?
Perfect for the channel of nonsense!
It’s amazing how Porsche mess about in the margins. So many different rounded / polished sports car experiences with one chassis!
I think I’d be a little louder with my colour choice though 🤓

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

It does need the livery…

[@alechopkins6545]

This is simply just cool, it's bonkers, what's not to love about it.
With Sydney/just out of Sydney pot holed roads, this makes perfect sense 🤣
It'd also be fun going along some light offroad tracks and seeing faces of owners in their hiluxes/rangers seeing a 911 offroad 😂😂

[@edjack1993]

Cool car. Can you not switch the parking sensors off off-road? Seems surprising/would be as annoying as it sounds in this video.

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

You can but I didn’t. Soz.

[@johnhaynes9910]

Frogs in the exahust pipe ? That Macron gets everywhere !

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

Hahaha

[@who_stole_my_username]

Tim, warum sind Frösche im Auspuff?

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

Ich habe keine Ahnung

[@caroracle2658]

You didn't like that much, did you....🙂

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

Hated every minute of it!

[@oexplorador6840]

Did anyone hear the morse code at the start of the video?

Yes we germans are indeed the funniest

[@eugenux]

great car; 50% too expensive

[@realitykicksin8755]

I can do that road same speed in a 1.3L ford fiesta with front wheel drive. This Porsche is nonsense.

[@DontPanicDear]

Faster in the Fiesta I expect!
This was made for silly fun, so nonsense isn’t even a criticism 🤓
