Last Ever Porsche 911 Dakar Rolls Off the Lines With Special Sonderwunsch Treatment

Ever since the model was introduced Porsche said it will only make 2,500 examples of the breed, and it seems the line has already reached the end of its road: the last 911 Dakar just rolled off the lines, and was handed over to its owner, an unnamed Italian collector, on the premises of the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart.

Like many of the previous Dakars, this one too is special, as it was designed with help from its owner and under the supervision of the carmaker's Sonderwunsch program. As such, this is a one-off build that's part of a very rare breed, and one can't hope for anything more than that.

The exclusive 911 is identical to its siblings in terms of powertrain. That means it is powered by the same three-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder engine that runs an eight-speed PDK transmission and delivers 473 horsepower and 570 Nm of torque.

Compared to the 911 Carrera running a sports suspension, the Dakar comes with a ground clearance that's 50 mm higher. The bodywork is different as well, as it sports widened wheel arches and sills, and there are recovery eyelets installed front and rear, made from forged aluminum and painted red.

This particular 911 Dakar, the last of its kind, wears the Rallye Design Package over which a three-tone paintwork was pulled, done exclusively by hand.

It blends, from the bodywork down to the wheels, shades called Signalyellow, Gentianbluemetallic, and Lampedusablue in a way that really makes it stand out. The Lampedusablue is a new color to the Porsche range, as it has been put together by the car's owner and Porsche's Sonderwunsch, and it is even featured on the LED Matrix headlights.

The interior of the 911 was upgraded as well, but here mostly yellow and black were used. The sports seats of the car come in yellow with ‘911 Dakar lettering embroidered onto them, the stitching and trim strips on the dashboard, centre console, and door panels are in the same color, and there's a leather insert, also in yellow, on the gear selector for the PDK.

Although it officially handed over the last ever 911 Dakar to its owner, Porsche plans to hang on to it for a while longer (unclear exactly how long), and presently displays it at the Museum as probably the last chance for the public to see it.

We are not told how much the 911 Dakar sold for, but we know these things usually and easily go for over $220,000.
