The brand-new 9 1 1 Dakar model is in sharp contrast with the 9 1 1 series currently on sale. This is the 9 1 1 with the highest chassis and the strongest off-road capability. Compared with the 9 1 1 sports car that pursues the ultimate performance and track performance, the Dakar model is somewhat different at first glance. The new car pays tribute to the victory of Porsche 1984 Dakar Rally, and will be sold in a limited edition of 2,500 vehicles worldwide.
In addition to the brand-new 9 1 1 Dakar model, Porsche also brought the 7 18 style version and 91/Carrera at the event site. The two cars with star ruby red and python green colors interpret their unique personality style and bring a touch of beautiful scenery to the scene.
Interpretation of #9 1 1 Dakar New Car
Porsche's brand-new 9 1 1 Dakar made its debut at the 2022 Los Angeles Auto Show. The launch of the new car is to pay tribute to the 9 1 1 champion car that 1984 won the Paris-Dakar rally for the first time. As the first highway 9 1 1 with extreme off-road performance in this century, the present 9 1 1 Dakar further demonstrates the all-round model concept of Porsche 9 1 1: higher ground clearance and specially adjusted chassis system make this coupe run off-road.
As the most unique 9 1 1 car, the appearance of 9 1 1 Dakar is both familiar and unfamiliar. We are used to the 9 1 1 sports car posture, but its shape is so unique. In order to match this point, Porsche uses shadow green metallic paint as the exclusive standard body color of 9 1 1 Dakar, and can also choose Rallye design components made by Porsche's exclusive Manufaktur, using metallic paint in white/gentian blue tones, which makes the visual effect more impactful.
The front cover of 9 1 1 Dakar adopts the air outlet design from 9 1 1 GT3, and the rear is equipped with a large fixed spoiler. The taste of high performance is still displayed on this off-road vehicle. Of course, 9 1 1 Dakar also has many off-road design details. It can be seen that the new car is equipped with red front and rear aluminum trailer rings, and the wheel hub grooves and thresholds are widened. The side air outlet is also protected by stainless steel grille to prevent flying stones from hurting people.
In terms of tires, Porsche and Pirelli jointly developed a special scorpion all-terrain plus all-terrain tire with a front size of 245/45 ZR 19 and a rear size of 295/40 ZR 20. The tread pattern of thick tread is 9mm deep, and the reinforced sidewall and tread are composed of two layers of carcass ply, which provides better grip in soft terrain and reduces the risk of puncture. In addition, Pirelli P Zero tires are available with double sidewalls in summer and winter.
Entering the carriage of 9 1 1 Dakar, the three-spoke steering wheel with five-meter instrument panel is still a very familiar layout. It is worth mentioning that the standard version 9 1 1 has four seats, while the 9 1 1 Dakar version has removed the rear seats, and it uses lightweight glass and batteries, so the weight of the whole vehicle is only 1605kg. In other aspects, the new car comes standard with a full bucket seat, and you can also choose to install a rollover bar, a six-point seat belt and a car fire extinguisher.
Unfortunately, the overseas version of the roof tension headlights is not equipped due to legal problems, but the roof can still be equipped with expansion equipment, such as roof tents. There is a 12 volt power socket on the roof, which is used for the energy supply of optional equipment. The optional luggage rack can bear 42 kilograms, and there is no problem in loading off-road equipment such as fuel tank, water tank, folding shovel and traction plate.
In terms of power, 9 1 1 Dakar is equipped with a 3.0T twin-turbocharged horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine, with a maximum power of 480 HP and a peak torque of 570n·m, matched with an 8-speed PDK dual-clutch gearbox and an all-wheel drive system, and it only takes 3.4 seconds to accelerate from standstill to 100 km/h ... However, due to the use of a high chassis and all terrain,
Focus on the operating mechanism of this car. In order to meet the requirements of off-road and traction, 9 1 1 Dakar has made great efforts. 9 1 1 Dakar is 50 mm higher than 9 1 1 Carrera with sports suspension. In addition, the standard lifting system can raise the head and tail by another 30 mm, and the ground clearance and passing angle are comparable to those of conventional SUV models. Under the "high position" setting, the vehicle can gallop at a speed as high as 170 km/h; When the vehicle speed exceeds 170 km/h, the vehicle will automatically lower its height to the "standard" position.
As for the chassis, the new 9 1 1 Dakar is equipped with a rear axle steering system and a dynamic chassis control system (PDCC), and compared with the ordinary 9 1 1, the new car also adds two very "fresh" driving modes: "Rallye" mode and "off-road" mode. The former adopts four-wheel drive with more emphasis on the rear, which is more suitable for driving on soft and uneven roads; The latter aims to obtain maximum traction. In this mode, the vehicle will automatically enable high ground clearance to cope with difficult terrain or sand.
In order to ensure good handling at high center of gravity, Porsche redesigned the 9 1 1 Dakar damping system, which can absorb the impact of high-speed off-road or rugged terrain on wheels and reduce the cornering roll. Interestingly, these two new driving modes are equipped with new Rallye start control function, and allow about 20% wheel slip, which can still bring quite shocking acceleration performance.
Summary: With the arrival of Porsche 9 1 1 Dakar, we understand that the infinite charm of 9 1 1 is not limited to sports cars, and the switching of identities and images is so attractive. The concept of Felipe Porsche, the son of ferdinand porsche, has been confirmed: "No other car can let you gallop from the African desert to Le Mans like 9 1 1; It can also gracefully shuttle through the streets of the city and take you to the theater for appointments as scheduled. " The price of 9 1 1 Dakar will be announced at the end of March, and we will report it as soon as possible, so please pay attention.
