Limited Edition Porsche 911 Dakar: Aesthetics
Porsche’s unique 911 Dakar features a striking three-tone color scheme. The Signal Yellow and Gentian Blue metallic paintwork, enhanced by the Rally Design package, pays homage to Porsche’s victory in the 1984 Paris-Dakar Rally. Separating the colors are thin stripes of Lampedusa Blue, named after the Mediterranean island of Lampedusa, giving the design a unique touch.
The alloy wheels are finished in Signal Yellow on the inside, with a Lampedusa Blue edge around the rim. Skilled Porsche craftsmen hand-painted the entire livery, while the LED Matrix headlights feature Lampedusa Blue trim rings. Black stainless steel fenders on the front, rear and side sills add a rugged detail to the vehicle’s design.
Limited Edition Porsche 911 Dakar: Performance
Performance specifications of the 911 Dakar remain unchanged, with a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six engine producing 475 hp, mated to an eight-speed PDK transmission and all-wheel drive. This setup enables the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds.

Once the doors are opened, an LED projector projects the Sonderwunsch logo onto the floor, adding a final personal touch to the Sonderwunsch factory.
