This Porsche 911 sounds about right for Philippine road conditions. Porsche Porsche911 911Dakar CarGuidePH
, Porsche has unveiled the 911 Dakar—a sportscar that’s equally at home on loose surfaces as it is on country roads. A limited-edition variant with a production capped at just 2,500 units globally, it harks back to the automaker’s first overall victory at the 1984 Paris-Dakar Rally which also happens to debut all-wheel drive to the Porsche 911.
Not content with simply altering the suspension, Porsche sought the help of Pirelli to design bespoke all-terrain tires for the 911 Dakar. While the tread pattern on the Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus have a chunky tread pattern and a tread depth of 9 mm, it was purposely made to look “not so bulky.” The 245/45ZR19 front, 295/40ZR20 rear tires also feature a reinforced sidewall and a dual carcass design to make them more cut-resistant.
The 911 Dakar also adds other handling and rigidity enhancements including engine mounts sourced from the 911 GT3, rear-wheel steering, and a tweaked Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control system. And speaking of the PDCC system, it adds two new driving modes: Rallye and Off-Road. The former is used for loose, uneven surfaces which deploys a rear-biased set-up for the all-wheel drive. The latter configures the drivetrain for maximum traction.
