992 Dakar

Just seen a press release that it’s getting revealed next week (17th).

Looks decent, though I’m guessing this will be another limited special?

Or it might be a standard model like the Taycan Cross Turismo

[Shelby600]

It’s the 3rd of 4 Heritage models - will be numbered

I'm thinking maybe they should actually clear the backlog of orders first rather than announcing a new model every few weeks, ;p

Okay yes I just salty my C2 is nowhere in sight

In reality, who is going to use it in the way it is intended?
I suspect it will be used as a sort of cool urban SUV alternative.

[DeejRC]

Those of us who down gravel roads with ruts and pot holes. My name is down for one.

Now it has been released what are your thoughts?

I am guessing that all day nobody has made any comments its not going to be a hit....

I would like one but the pricing is optimistic!

[DMC2]

I personally just don't see the point of it

[ellroy]

Just played with the configurator, a smidge under £200k!

Not sure I see the point of it, although it is a very, very cool thing.

Its a narrow market I think, and I fit that sector.
I have always taken my 911s skiing and Nordic winter driving, I do more miles on winter tyres than summers, its almost perfect for me, at a lesser price!

[julian987R]

its the first ever release by Porsche that left me bored of even reading about it after 30seconds.

Agee. I find it pointless, interior is a complete let down.

[GT4RS]

What an odd car to retail.

[Dr S]

Agree that it is a niche model. I do like it though - especially in the faux Rothmans livery. If I lived in the Middle East, I'd get one and take it for some fun in the desert

Bit like your posts
I think it looks great in the rothmans livery,a great Dubia street cruiser.

The lightweight,manual st has gone a bit quiet being the 4th heritage model.

Maybe 992.2?

[flow99]

great concept, and keep thinking about all the places could drive it. Definitely a niche market, but think it looks brilliant and what a perfect winter driver's car.

That is the 3rd car by the looks of things. The Dakar isnt one of the heritage cars.

Looks like a great car as an April fools joke!
