For more than a year, a Porsche 911 with a high chassis pitch from the ground has appeared frequently on the Nürburgring track, and reporters have frequently taken spy photos of the car. But after waiting for so long, Porsche did not move. No, someone is already in a hurry to make a rendering of the off-road version of the Porsche 911 with a raised chassis. It is understood that this off-road version of the 911 may be named 911 Dakar to commemorate the brilliant achievements of the Porsche 959 at the Dakar Rally in Paris.
As we all know, Porsche is recently preparing a mid-term redesign of this generation of 911 (992.2), but this rendering is still based on the current 992 model. The biggest difference between the new car and the regular version of the 911 is that it is under the waistline of the body. The new car uses black plastic wheel arches, and the front lip and side skirt are also made of black plastic material, which can effectively avoid the damage of the paint by the stones. In addition, the new car uses a higher suspension as well as off-road tires, which greatly improves the ground spacing of the new car. Finally, the carbon-black wheels with a hardcore sport style are the finishing touch.
It is worth noting that the front bumper in the rendering has also been completely redesigned, which is more perfect than the previous spy image, and we may expect to see this design in the upcoming 911.
For this tall 911 model, we do not know what powertrain Porsche will bring, and it is currently speculated that the new car will be based on the Carreras 4S modification, using a four-wheel drive system to further enhance off-road capabilities. The powertrain, paired with a 3.0-litre six-cylinder twin-turbo engine, produces 443 hp and 528 Nm of torque. And Porsche may also adjust the parameters for the 911 Dakar model to better adapt to all-terrain road conditions.
Comments: Regarding this off-road version of 911, its official name and listing date are still a mystery. The naming of the new car could fall on the 911 Dakar or 911 Safari options. Considering the early appearance of the road test spy car, Porsche may not be in a hurry to release this car, and may be listed with the mid-term revamped 992.2 model. However, although Porsche is not in a hurry, fans are already in a hurry, after all, the renderings are out.
