On the morning of January 6, 2024, a car enthusiast in Lam Dong province spotted two Porsche 911 sports cars at a hotel in Da Lat city. Of particular note was the white car, a limited edition Porsche 911 Dakar, with only 2,500 units produced worldwide for avid fans of Porsche sports cars.
Upon further investigation, we learned that this is the third Porsche 911 Dakar limited edition to arrive in Vietnam, owned by a car enthusiast with the nickname Hiếu T.V. Notably, the car owner has previously mentioned plans to take his Porsche 911 Dakar 2023 on a road trip from Saigon to Europe, scheduled for later this year, marking 60 years of the Porsche 911 series.

The recently traveled Porsche 911 Dakar 2023 owned by Hiếu T.V. from Saigon to Da Lat has a beautiful license plate number 51K-850.88. This license plate was obtained through online auction, with the highest bid amounting to 155 million VND, a reasonable price for enthusiasts of appealing license plates as it contains three number 8s and one number 5, avoiding any unlucky numbers such as 4 or 7.
An impressive feature of Hiếu T.V.’s Porsche 911 Dakar is its white exterior, which distinguishes it from the previous two silver cars. It also includes several matte black details such as the front and rear bumpers, wheel arches, large single-spoke wheels, rear wing, and exhaust diffuser with sharp stainless steel accent and red brake calipers.
The official price of the Porsche 911 Dakar 2023 is announced as 15.29 billion VND, excluding additional customer options and on-road fees.
A notable feature of the Porsche 911 Dakar is its ground clearance, which is 50mm higher than the standard model. In addition, the Porsche 911 Dakar can increase its clearance by an additional 30mm in High Level mode, activated via a dial on the steering wheel. This mode is designed for off-road driving and allows the car to smoothly navigate speed bumps and rough roads without scraping the undercarriage.
The Porsche 911 Dakar, driven by Hiếu T.V., is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 engine that produces a maximum power output of 473 horsepower and a torque of 570 Nm.
This engine is combined with an 8-speed PDK automatic transmission, all-wheel drive, 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.
