at the Los Angeles Auto Show, a limited-edition variant capped at 2,500 units that celebrates the sports car manufacturer’s first overall victory at the 1984 Paris-Dakar Rally that also marked the first application of all-wheel-drive in the 911. The ‘953’ on the doors of the example shown here is actually the designation given to that heavily modified 1984 Porsche 911.
Incidentally, its outright top speed is limited to 240 km/h due to its standard all-terrain tyres, which are Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus units measuring 245/45ZR19 in front and 295/40ZR20 at the rear. These feature 9 mm-deep tread and reinforced sidewalls, and consists of two carcass plies, making the tyres highly cut-resistant.
In terms of bodywork, the fixed rear spoiler and front luggage compartment lid are both made of carbon-fibre reinforced plastic, the latter taken from the GT3 with its dual air vents. Wheel wells and sills area widened on the 911 Dakar, while the side air intakes within the front bumper gain stainless steel grilles for added protection against flying rocks and debris when traversing off-road terrain at speed.
