911 Dakar numbers

[Jim300186]

Anybody know how many are coming to the uk?

[TheDeadPrussian]

No idea officially, but I'd be surprised if it was more than one or two per OPC - if that. Probably based upon requests. I think it's pretty niche - those with Ariel Nomads (that I know) are interested for example.

This guy has 5 Porsches coming in, the Dakar being one of them, though he had to think hard what the 5th one is?!?

I read somewhere an estimate of 100… I will see if I can find a reference.

The Nomad and Dakar club is going to be a pretty cool one!

2500

2500 is total production. Id guess 100-150 uk cars.

Anybody have ideas on when first deliveries begin?

[flow99]

anyone have a confirmed allocation yet?

[Jim300186]

Yea I’m getting one they couldn’t tell me how many are coming to the UK total though. And I have been told that I should expect a June/July delivery.

I have an allocation for an April build. Advised that neither the Rothmans spec or colour to sample are available to UK at this time.

What spec are you going for?

There are 3 new Decorative adhesive sets on the configurator which are pretty cool - do those tempt you?

I would do aftermarket Rothmans decals that have more authentic spelling than the Roughrouds (vegan version), e.g. this: https://www.wrappshop.eu/collections/carrera/produ...

The issue is the above decal is for 991.2 not 992, so I would talk to the vendor

[Pmsjv]

Not too worried about lack of Rothmans option. The paint colour scheme was cool but put off by Roughmans logo.

Can't make my mind up between the green (which will have the matching stitching as standard) - or go for white (possibly with the 74 decals).

Ideally I would have gone for Light Ivory (to match my 65 911) and no decals.

Great to see a few guys ordering one. Can I ask what your going to use it for please, genuinely interested!

[Pmsjv]

Not sure yet. Can't see me rallying in it anytime soon (I rally classic Porsche). However the car is so much more versatile than standard 911 so it opens up possibilities with snow, gravel and roads you wouldn't/couldnt take a normal 911. With the roof system and upcoming tent - could be a fun anywhere tourer rather than using a Cayenne or SUV.

congratulations on those who managed to get one, I think it's a really special car (esp vs something line a 911t)

I intend on tracking mine to see if it is as good on tarmac as there saying, and a few mates do a bit of off roading so going to take it along with them and see just how "ambitious" I can be off road with it ! it will not be a garage queen!

Press review should be out soon… few of them have been out in the desert having a play.
