In early December, the limited edition sports car, the Porsche 911 Dakar 2023, arrived at the owner’s house in District 7, Ho Chi Minh City, after a nearly 35,000 km adventure conquering many roads and landmarks of China and Mongolia. When it arrived at the gate, the Porsche 911 Dakar was covered in dirt, and the undercarriage couldn’t be any dirtier.
The owner decided to bring the Porsche 911 Dakar to the authorized dealer for maintenance, care, and beautification. After nearly 3 weeks, this limited edition sports car was delivered with a sparkling exterior, just like when it first arrived. The owner hinted that the bill wasn’t as high as many people thought, but he didn’t disclose the exact amount.
The newly maintained Porsche 911 Dakar is no less flashy than when it left the factory, but netizens are eagerly waiting for the owner to reveal the coffee-colored rims. It is unclear whether this Porsche 911 Dakar will continue to embark on other journeys after its comprehensive care. When asked about this, the owner disclosed that he only enjoys driving and does not have any catchphrases.
Currently, there are 3 Porsche 911 Dakar cars in Vietnam, of which the second car has been almost nonexistent since its photo was leaked, while the third car is owned by Hieu T.V. He often takes this Porsche 911 Dakar for a spin and enjoys coffee with the Porsche Sà i Thà nh group.
The 2023 Porsche 911 Dakar uses a 6-cylinder inline turbocharged gasoline engine with a displacement of 3.0 liters, producing a maximum power of 473 horsepower and a maximum torque of 570 Nm. This engine is combined with an 8-speed PDK automatic transmission, all-wheel drive, and rear-wheel steering, allowing this sports car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 240 km/h.
The strength of the 2023 Porsche 911 Dakar lies in its higher ground clearance, which is 50 mm higher than the standard model. Furthermore, the Porsche 911 Dakar can increase the ground clearance by an additional 30 mm in High Level mode. This mode is activated through a knob on the steering wheel and allows the Porsche 911 Dakar 2023 to easily tackle high speed bumps and speed humps without worrying about scraping the undercarriage.
