Recently, the image of the limited edition Porsche 911 Dakar sports car that arrived in Vietnam has been shared on social media and has received attention from car enthusiasts in the country. At the same time, netizens are also paying attention to the fact that the first Porsche 911 Dakar has also arrived in Saigon after a journey of more than 3 months on the roads from the South to the North, then to China and even Mongolia.

The images shared by Porsche Vietnam’s dealer show that the limited edition Porsche 911 Dakar sports car of Hanoi’s tycoon arrives at the official dealer with mud still on it, and the owner of the car decided to leave it dirty for a day to remember the 3-month journey conquering the roads in China and Mongolia before taking it for a clean wash.

Many netizens have left comments in awe and admiration for the adventurous and passionate driving of Hanoi’s tycoon. It is known that shortly after receiving the Porsche 911 Dakar from the dealer, he drove straight to Danang, waited for a week before embarking on the journey to China, and traversing the Gobi Desert. Currently, it is highly possible that this is one of the Porsche 911 Dakar cars in the world with the fastest increasing odometer.

And it doesn’t stop there. The owner of this Porsche 911 Dakar also plans to participate in a journey from Saigon to Europe, with the final stop being the Porsche factory, covering a total distance of over 65,000 km.

The official selling price of the Porsche 911 Dakar 2023 is announced to be 15.29 billion VND, but the first car is equipped with quite a few additional accessories requested by the owner, so the price of the car increases to over 16 billion VND, and the final price is nearly 18 billion VND.

The strength of the Porsche 911 Dakar 2023 is also the key that helps the Hanoi-based businessman easily drive from Vietnam to the Gobi Desert, which is the ground clearance that is more than 50 mm higher than the standard car. In addition, the Porsche 911 Dakar can increase an additional 30 mm in High Level mode. This mode serves off-road driving and is activated through a knob on the steering wheel, allowing the Porsche 911 Dakar 2023 to pass high speed bumps and speed bumps without worrying about hitting the underbody.

The “heart” of the Porsche 911 Dakar 2023 uses a 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, producing a maximum power of 473 horsepower and a maximum torque of 570 Nm. This engine is paired with an 8-speed PDK automatic transmission, all-wheel drive system, and rear-wheel steering system. As a result, this sports car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds and has a limited top speed of 240 km/h.
