I'm in Austria to get behind the wheel of the new #Porsche #911Dakar... an off-road 911! This car has intrigued me ever since it launched in LA at the end of last year so I'm excited to see how it performs on ice and on the road.
The Porsche 911 Dakar is limited to 2,500 examples, shows that there are hardly any limits to the concept of the Porsche 911. The 911 Dakar pays homage the first overall victory by Porsche in the Paris-Dakar Rally of 1984, an event that also marked the birth of all-wheel drive in the Porsche 911.
One thing that immediately stands out is the ground clearance of the 911 Dakar: It is 50 millimetres higher than that of a 911 Carrera equipped with sports suspension. In addition, the standard lift system can raise the ride height by a further 30 mm. Its ground clearance and ramp angle rival those of conventional SUVs. The lift system is not designed merely for driving over obstacles at low speeds, but rather it is an integral part of the re-tuned suspension. The ‘high level’ setting is available for off-road adventures at speeds of up to 170 km/h. Above that speed, the car automatically lowers back down to its normal level.
Additional characteristic features of the 911 Dakar include the newly developed, fixed lightweight rear spoiler made of CFRP, and the CFRP front luggage compartment lid with striking-looking air vents taken from the 911 GT3. There are also standard-fit off-road details such as the red aluminium towing eyes at the front and back, the widened wheel wells and sills, and the stainless steel protective elements on the front, rear and side sills. The side air intakes on the redesigned front end are also protected against stone chips by stainless steel grilles. Carbon-fibre reinforced plastic, CFRP full bucket seats, omitting the rear seats, lightweight glass and a lightweight battery reduce its weight further, enabling the Porsche 911 Dakar to weigh in at just 1,605 kg - a mere 10 kg heavier than the 911 Carrera 4 GTS with PDK.
The 3.0-litre biturbo six-cylinder engine with 353 kW (480 PS) and a maximum torque of 570 Newton metres delivers superior performance with a compelling boxer sound. It propels the sports car from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and reaches a top speed of 240 km/h (limited by the all-terrain tyres). Power transmission in the all-wheel drive sports car is provided by an eight-speed PDK.
The standard equipment also includes rear-axle steering, the exceptionally performance-oriented engine mounts from the 911 GT3 and the PDCC anti-roll stabilisation. Maximum off-road performance is also ensured by two new driving modes (in addition to Normal, Wet and Sport), which can be selected using the rotary dial on the steering wheel. Rallye mode is ideal for loose surfaces and features rear-biased all-wheel drive. Offroad mode automatically operates at a raised ride height and with a significantly stiffer differential locking effect. The focus is directed at maximum traction in dunes or on hard, uneven ground. Both of the new driving modes also feature the new Rallye Launch Control, which allows wheel slippage of around 20 per cent.
At the heart of the optional Rallye Design Package is a two-tone paint finish in White/Gentian Blue Metallic. Porsche is offering two-tone paintwork as standard for the first time. The red and gold stripes are applied by hand in Zuffenhausen in the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur. On the side of the car, the customer can choose an individual race number between 0 and 999. In addition to the red and gold rally stripes, the 911 Dakar with Rallye Design Package - the appearance of which is based on the winning vehicle of the 1984 Paris-Dakar Rally - also bears the ‘Roughroads’ lettering on the doors. The term is a registered trademark and reflects the concept of the 911 Dakar and its suitability for driving off road. The white-painted rims and the red taillight strip, in contrast to the standard 911, round off the distinctive appearance. Further highlights can be found in the interior: the interior trims and the decorative inlays on the dashboard and the interior door handle are in Ceramica White. There is also extended Race-Tex and leather surrounds as well as seat belts and accents in Shark Blue.

Yeah, honestly brought to you by Volkswagen Group... Not that I'm against Seen Through Glass at all, just be real about these press trips.
Every journalist: “This car is best handling and most exciting car I’ve driven this year!” Sam: “Time to get a coffee.” I love your video take on a first drive exclusive video.
Growing up in the Midwest, there were few things in life during the winter that I enjoyed more than sliding my car around in the snow. So much fun; can only imagine how much fun it must have been in this 911!
Well, if nothing else, now I feel compelled to go get coffee in my 996

This channel really has evolved into something rather special, well done Sam! Honestly if I had one of these I would daily it, every day! So cool.
As a Namibian, hearing my country mentioned at 12:43 is so epic. Now I love this channel even more.
In some ways the Dakar is the most useable 911 of them all because unlike most modern sports cars it has ground clearance, a 911 that’s ideally suited for potholes and speed bumps. I think it would make a perfect daily, I’d use it everyday all year round.

I have a friend that knows way more about cars than me and doesn't seem to get that part of it. Not always summer everywhere and the potholes suck in alot of places. I'd rather just not deal with it.
I am so jealous of you. This looks absolutely amazing! Well done
Considering the kinds of adventures you've done in the 911 I don't know how you're Not on a list for one of these ! I would definitely tune in for those !!

Thanks for your every Sunday great content Sam. Best car to match with my Specialized Gravel bike. It would be so nice to watch you on "Drive The World II" with one of these. I hope that this 911 Dakar won't be just a one shot from Porsche.
Another great video. I'm sure your life is not all sweets and roses, but ... I'm seem to be living my life vicariously through you at the moment. Every video I think to myself, that is brilliant, I'd love to be doing that right now. Genuinely look forward to new content from STG and BTG. Cheers
I love watching your videos they are just so fun and enjoyable to watch plus the Dakar is just an awesome car ,in my opinion. Of course, it wouldn't be a 'Seen Through Glass' video without coffee😂brilliant! Plus I am still loving your GT3. I cant get over the spec!😍
This video is so good😍🙏🏼 the pure happiness in your reactions is awesome.
Sam, I think that’s my perfect day out. An excellent version of my favourite car, snow, good coffee, mountains and Walter rohrl.
Porsche and coffee … my two favorite things!
Great video....and thanks for the cool drone shots!
The joy on your face. Lovely. 👍
Superb video! Visually stunning as always 🙌🏻
Great content Sam; thanks as always
Love the Race-Tex dash!
Wow, what an experience!
I just love the colour of your GT3 - it looks fabulous!!
I live in southern Idaho and we have snowy roads 6 months a year, Nov. - Apr., so the Dakar would be very useful.

And with driving tips from Walter Rohl.... Priceless!
Great review Sam, and I'm a Porsche guy myself... BUT at $200K base price, I think I can covert anything to a real Dakar and still have an interior to my liking!
Absolutely awesome 😍🙌

It's a Porsche whats not to like, I love it like you Sam especally in the full livery.
Drifting a Porsche Dakar in the snow was a cool site to see! ⛄

Such a dream car here in New Hampshire. I would throw bikes/snowboards on the top no problem; you're not as crazy as you think Sam!
Love this Car. The Ultimate Sporting Car with off road capability too!
Cool to see Walter in the video.

So sick!!
Such a great car and with Walter Rohrl. Great video.
I love this car, it's kind of the 911 I would want more than any of them.
Spot on summary at the end. Matt Farah got the full experience by having the opportunity to play in the sand dunes. That is where this car shines, or on an actual gravel rally route. Many of these will be poser cars in a collection.
Awesome video sam and amazing car . Think going be more of a collection peace or road trip car.
I think that the 911 Dakar is a very cool proposition. I think of it as a sportscar that goes anywhere, from driving in the city to the twisty roads of the Alps. I mean the roads in southern Europe are not known for their comfort. So maybe it's the perfect roadtrip/Holliday sportscar.
I would definitely buy one and do the same as you. Take it to get a full re trim inside.

In comparison with other "special editions" of 911s, the Dakar is something different. Not only different paint but with the different 4WD it is special.
I don’t normally do this but I got such a kick out of seeing you reach for the ignition key on the right side @ 4:57. I have a new Carrera S and I do it all the time. Great video as always.

Sam, you should take your Porsche up to Snowdonia in Wales! The scenery and roads are incredible 😊
That looked crazy fun, and some nice drifting!
Those retro colours look real nice...
Sounds incredible!! The stank face at 15:38 says it all.
I try not to get jealous in life but this video made me fail real hard.. So awesome!
Some great points Sam about customisation with certain Porsche models. If you are going to choose a special Porsche model, surely you want the interior to be special! Of course, the Porsche Racetex trim is great for actually going sideways and in anyways you can see why Porsche has gone that way. But given that all the trims are just that, something which all have common fixing points why should a client not be able to choose what they want! I guess it's about the speed of manufacturing rather than pleasing clients. The more options you have the more complex the assembly process. Maybe Porche needs to have a premium personalisation program above the standard. Mind manufacturers make a lot of this! Take Aston Martin Q, they are just options like M options on a BMW. People are just suckered into that marketing. The Dakar looks great from the outside and must surely in the right hands be incredible. If you lived in Dubai or Abu Dhabi it would surely be perfect! Great content mind, keep up the good work.
I've been subscribed since the 4c days and I absolutely agree with you on the interior. Like where's the fun, the spunk, the reason you get in the car and enjoy it?
Awesome video!
I’m late to the game on this video. What an epic adventure!
I would get one if offered a slot tbh. It interests me more than anything else in range except a GT3 touring. I just wish it had the Turbo S engine, but you are right, it needs full customisation although I suspect if you are important enough to Porsche they will let you. I have a killer spec I would want.
Great video Sam - what a car and I loved the ice driving experience. That is something I would love to do if the funds would allow.

This car is developed for the Porsche community that lives outside of Europe And USA / Canada as well as Japan / Taiwan / South Korea. One could argue that North America needs it too. For the hundreds of thousand of Porsche owners in Central / South America, Africa, Asia (all 7 regions of it) This car is a must have! Not because of a cool factor but because of the state of the roads ( Most still unpaved ). Porsche should just add it as an additional spec in its line. Not as a limited series.
Good video Sam. As you say, the interior is a missed opportunity for something special. Perhaps they were aiming for the simple interior look of the Safari race car.
I wonder if Phil has ordered one to go with his Tuthill safari 🤔
Great vid sam
Sam, so happy to see your channel progressing - having been with you in the early days watching you struggling to establish yourself to now being INVITED by Porsche GMBH to drive their new offering…oh and receiving 1-2-1 tuition from Walter Rohl!!! Well done chap, this is a great testament to your hard work, dedication and application. Keep up the great work 😁
Great review :-) Strange they did not fit the compass on the dash rather than a clock... This would have been a much better fit for this type of vehicle.
currently about to leave for starbucks in my RS3. I have a coffee machine at home but this video makes me wanna go for coffee anyways.
I love Porshe for making this. Shout out Porsche press team. Continue to work with SeenThroughGlass to produce MORE GREAT VIDEOS

Thanks for this one Sam and Porsche, because reminds me of an unbelievable experience over 30 years ago when Motor Trend (?) did a sponsored winter performance tire promotion / stunt driving up north to Alaska in a couple 911 C4's (?) through the great white north. I was driving my first ever car (83 Mustang 5.0) on a road trip 2 hrs north to the big city with a pretty girl for a fun day out; that is the start (ish) of the Alaska highway (Mile Zero). Just at the start of the trip I see 2 cars coming up extremely fast on me in the rear view mirror so I slow down 10 Km/h to the speed limit. They had ski racks on the roof that I thought were cop lights at first, till the passed me like I was in reverse. The young lady with me literally emasculated me, by laughing hysterically, to the point she slid out of the seat onto the floor mat...so I dropped 2 gears on slushy roads and passed them both so hard they looked like they were going back in time and kept going. Three towns later I slowed down because there are always road pirates out there and a T intersection stop. The two Porsche's finally caught up to me some 15 mins later. I had to turn right into town so we were side by side, Johnny's eye's were the size of hockey pucks in shock and disbelief; in his beard, suit & tie looking at my new off brand all season tires. I am currently smiling right now recalling that warm and fuzzy feeling of freedom. 😁 The next day there was a write up in the local weekly paper of the tour through our area, and some pics of them doing a slalom through some cones on a small runway in the snow. Keep having fun like this Sam for as long as possible!
I've been a course marshal for the Alcan5000 Rally since 2018. The 2022 competition a Porche GT4 placed 2nd overall. This was 5000 miles on Northern Canada "highways" a few thousand of which are unpaved. The Dakar would absolutely be suited for this. I personally would love to, but alas a Porche of this niche is currently out of my price range.
Nice performance ♥️ 👏 👌 👌 👍 🙌
