2023 Porsche 911 Dakar

Of the 2,500 Porsche 911 Dakars built, this is a UK-supplied 2023 car with 7,447 miles, finished in GT Silver Metallic over a Black Race-Tex and leather interior. The Dakar starts from the Carrera 4 GTS's 473 bhp 3.0-litre twin-turbo flat-six and eight-speed PDK, then adds all-wheel drive, all-terrain tyres and an adjustable lift system. Ride height is 50mm above a Carrera with sports suspension, with a further 30mm available on demand.

The specification leans into the motorsport side of the car. It has the Rallye Sport Package, a £2,846 option that brings a roll bar, six-point harnesses and a road-legal 1kg fire extinguisher. The lightweight carbon roof, carbon mirror and window triangle trims, and a high-gloss black exterior package add to that. Inside are the Race-Tex Interior Package, Extended Leather and Carbon Matt trim, a heated GT sports steering wheel and a Porsche Design Subsecond clock. A £2,594 Burmester surround sound system is the one concession to comfort.

The car comes with a Romans International Platinum Warranty and full paint protection film. Few Dakars have this combination of Rallye Sport hardware and a lightweight carbon roof. Porsche quotes 0-62mph in 3.4 seconds and a limited top speed of 149mph, which suits a car built for gravel as much as tarmac.
