Porsche has officially wrapped up production of the exclusive 911 Dakar, releasing a final, one-off model that draws heavy inspiration from the marque’s 1984 Paris-Dakar rally-winning 911.
Designed by Porsche’s Sonderwunsch (Special Wish) division, this distinctive vehicle boasts a bespoke hand-painted finish and intricate customisations throughout, bringing unique flair to the limited-run series.
Homage to a rally legend

The last of the 911 Dakar models pays homage to the legendary Rothmans-liveried 911, which René Metge and Dominique Lemoyne piloted to victory in the gruelling 1984 Paris-Dakar rally.
Porsche’s Sonderwunsch team carefully crafted a bold exterior paint scheme, blending Signal Yellow with Gentian Blue Metallic.
The vehicle’s colour scheme is split with precise blue pinstripes, creating a striking look that blends historical reverence with modern aesthetics.
Beyond this one-off 911 Dakar's bodywork, its wheels are also finished in the same vibrant yellow, with additional Lampedeusablue accents, inspired by a Mediterranean island.
Porsche even applied black paint to the stainless steel elements on the front, rear and side sills, and added Lampedeusablue accents around the headlights.
Inside, the one-off 911 Dakar continues the special treatment, with an interior predominantly clad in black leather and Alcantara.
Porsche added Speed Yellow contrast stitching to various surfaces, complemented by coloured accents on the steering wheel, dashboard, and transmission tunnel. LED entrance lights project the Sonderwunsch logo onto the ground, subtly marking this car’s distinct pedigree.
Limited production
Porsche capped the 911 Dakar production at 2500 units, each powered by a robust 3.0-litre twin-turbo flat-six engine generating 353kW, paired with an eight-speed PDK transmission for seamless power delivery to all four wheels. An available performance package ensures the 911 Dakar is an even more potent machine built for any terrain.
Although Porsche has not disclosed the final price of this custom 911 Dakar, it is expected to surpass the standard model's price tag, which in New Zealand starts at $449,600, according to Porsche's local website.
Before delivery to its new owner, the car will be on display at Porsche’s museum in Stuttgart, offering enthusiasts a chance to view this rare model and celebrate a slice of Porsche’s rally heritage brought to life with modern craftsmanship.
