Recently, there has been a lot of buzz on social media about the third Porsche 911 Dakar that has arrived in Vietnam. What caught people’s attention is its unique white exterior color, which is different from the previous two cars that were silver. This special car belongs to a renowned financial expert, who also happens to have a Youtube channel with over 700 thousand followers.

The Porsche 911 Dakar retains the black highlights made of composite material, just like other cars. The interior of the car is primarily black leather, with white stitching accents. The wheels of this 911 Dakar model remain unchanged with the classic-style single 5-spoke design in black color, polished rims creating contrast, and measuring 19 inches for the front wheels and 20 inches for the rear wheels.
Prior to receiving the car, the Saigon tycoon shared his plans to drive this off-road sports car on a cross-continental journey from Asia to Europe, covering a total distance of 35,000 km. This epic journey starts from Vietnam, passes through China, Mongolia, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, Italy, Switzerland, France, and finally ends in Germany, the headquarters of Porsche.
The Porsche 911 Dakar was globally launched in late 2022. It is the off-road version of the 911 model, developed from the prototype 911 Carrera 4 GTS, and it commemorates the German automaker’s first overall victory at the Paris-Dakar race in 1984. Only 2,500 units were produced worldwide, and Vietnam was allocated only 3 vehicles.
In addition to the black plastic highlights and stainless steel protective plates on the exterior, the off-road sports car model is even more special with Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus off-road tires. These tires have a 9 mm deep tread and a 2-layer reinforced steel structure on both sides. The car’s adaptive suspension system can raise the ground clearance up to a maximum of 191 mm, equivalent to some SUV/Crossover models.
