Subtle it ain’t. I liked it, but can’t see me being brave enough to drive something so bold. Hats off to the owner.

The 964RS parked beside it however…

That looks lovely

I have to agree with some of the earlier comments in this thread- I’m really not sure how much use the Dakar is in the U.K.
But I suppose that’s irrelevant in terms of its desirability.
Recently I saw a woman in a brand new Range Rover drive into the local Waitrose car park…..she attempted to get into a couple of different parking spaces before giving up and driving off because it was too big to fit in a space.
Also, last year I saw a bloke in Phnom Penh Cambodia driving around in a Lamborghini Huracan.

Personally I’d much prefer a gt3 Touring than a Dakar. If I wanted an off roader I’d get a G-Wagon

Probably never be able to afford but would love a Dakar as a daily especially on the crap country roads where I live!

[Zadkiel]

What if you already have a GT3 Touring and G Wagon and want a bit of both as well?

[bennno]

I think these would look better lowered and without the rear spoiler and plastic wheel arch extensions.

Would folks here change the off road tyres to a road tyre if they knew the car would never go off road?

Yes, and at the same time change the badge from 'Dakar' to 'Turbo S'.

I agree on the spoiler, not a huge fan of that

[pancholi]

having both a GT3 Touring and Dakar,
the 2 cars cannot be more different.
the Dakar has so much presence, and the tyres are also well suited for function.
pictures do not do the car justice. it is a very handsomer car.
perfect car for town driving and slip and rear slid country driving.
the GT3 is simply the best spirited drivers car ever..

[pancholi]

looks lovely in that silver colour.
hope you are excited.
the exhaust note is so well tuned to the stature of the car.
a real gravelly grumble tone...
enjoy!!

Congrats on the cars, and it is all personal taste, but I disagree the 992 GT3 is the best spirited drivers car, not by a long chalk.

Go hard or go home.

À Dakar would probably be better on most UK roads than a GT3 Touring.
Although, a ‘base’ 992 would probably better than either of them.

Haven't driven a Dakar, but by far the best Porsche on UK roads for ride quality, is the Sport Classic.

What would be the point of that? It wouldn't be a Dakar then!
