Say hello to the latest Porsche 911 Dakar, which is, of course, already sold.

An Italian sports car collector commissioned the design of this model, which was created according to a program by the German company Sonderwunsch and has special colors and technical characteristics. This will be the last car in this family after 2,500 units are produced.

Closing cycles or stages is usually a recurring mantra in the world of the automotive industry, as it opens the door to speculation: either because another model will be produced, or because space needs to be left in a vast portfolio, or because what has been given . And it seems that with the Porsche 911 Dakar what was happening is over.

Before saying goodbye, the German company is going to release a special version of the Sonderwunsch program with an unusual design. This is an order from an Italian sports car collector who wants a model that is exceptional in every sense. And for this Used Nueveeleven Dakar, which premiered in November 2022.

Signal yellow and metallic blue gentian They are ideally combined with the Rallye design package, which recalls the appearance of the car that won the 1984 Paris-Dakar.

A blue line drawn between the two large colored areas completes the set. This latest tone, named “Lampedusa Blue” after the Italian Mediterranean island, was created in collaboration between the Stuttgart marque’s designers and the car’s new owner, as was the trim (completely done by hand).

The alloy wheels on this unique example are also finished in Signal Yellow and the rims are finished in Lampedusa Blue. The Matrix LED headlights are highlighted by a blue Lampedusa ring. The stainless steel guards at the front and rear, as well as the running boards, are black.
