Although unable to obtain the desired date of birth license plate, the owner of the Porsche 911 Dakar 2023 was able to acquire a new license plate, which holds significant meaning to him through the auction event.

Surely, car enthusiasts in Vietnam still remember the story of the Porsche 911 Dakar 2023 owned by a wealthy individual from Hai Phong who embarked on a cross-country adventure from the South to the North, through China and even to Mongolia, spanning a duration of 3 months. This off-road supercar conquered various terrains, from deserts to snowy roads, mountains, and even water crossings. Estimated to have covered approximately 35,000 km on this journey, the Porsche 911 Dakar 2023 was truly put to the test.

It is known that in order to be able to legally drive on the road for this cross-country adventure, the owner randomly obtained a license plate for the Porsche 911 Dakar 2023, after being unable to secure the desired date of birth license plate.

After completing the journey, the wealthy individual from Hai Phong continued his search for the desired license plate. On December 22, 2023, a license plate that matched his desires, 51L-199.11, was put up for auction. As a result, he participated in the auction for this license plate and successfully secured it for the base price of 40 million VND.

For the owner of the first Porsche 911 Dakar 2023 in Vietnam, the license plate 51L-199.11 holds 5 very special numbers, which are 19.911. Specifically, 19 is the owner’s birthday, as well as an additional number displayed on the 2 doors and the first 2 numbers in the vehicle’s serial number 1904/2500. Following that is the number 911, which harmonizes with the name of the Porsche 911 Dakar 2023 sports car.

The Porsche 911 Dakar is equipped with a 3.0L 6-cylinder boxer engine with 473 horsepower and 570 Nm of torque, paired with an 8-speed PDK automatic transmission and AWD drivetrain. With this power, the car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 240 km/h.
