The official reveal of the all-new Porsche 911 Dakar surprised car enthusiasts all over the world.This is in part due to the heritage "Roughroads" livery, which pays homage to the Rothman's Porsche 953 that competed alongside other fan-built Porsches in the 1984 Paris-Dakar rally. If you're wondering why it says "Roughroads" rather than "Rothman's," you should know that "Rothman's" was a well-known cigarette that was sold all over the world.
Porsche revealed to CarBuzz during the official unveiling at the LA Auto Show this year that applying this paint to the high-riding sports car takes more than 30 hours, and the process itself is quite intriguing.
The design, which is part of the Rallye Design package and will only be available in 999 units, was handled by the Porsche Exclusive Manufactur department, and it was not surprising that the process required a lot of manual labor. The brand charges a staggering $28,470 for this option precisely because of this.Before applying a clear coat and sanding, the entire vehicle is white-sprayed.Each unit's lower end is painted manually with Gentian Blue Metallic.Before spraying the first layer of clear coat, the masking tape is removed once the surface is dry to the touch.Seven and a half hours have passed since labor began.
After the coat has dried, assembly takes place before being sent to Manufaktur for decorative foiling to create the rest of the livery. To do this, parts of the car need to be temporarily removed, which takes an additional eight and a half hours.
After that, the finished product goes through a stringent check before being covered and put on a transporter so that it can be delivered to its owner.Porsche Manufaktur is genius with regards to specifying client vehicles so they can bear outings without looking excessively ostentatious, and we'd contend that the equivalent goes for this 911 Dakar Rallye Bundle. The number that will be painted on the door can be chosen by any one of the 999 customers.The bundle likewise adds white combination haggles and a red taillight strip, while the lodge acquires broader Race-Tex and cowhide upholstery supplemented by Shark Blue safety belts. The Porsche Configuration rooftop container is excluded from the bundle, yet this choice completes the audacious game vehicle look.
The rack can illuminate its surroundings through four front-mounted LEDs by attaching a 12-volt power outlet to the roof of the vehicle.The fuel jerry cans, water canisters, folding shovels, and traction boards that are necessary for overlanding can be easily transported with its 93-pound carrying capacity.The roof tent can also be specified for an authentic endurance experience.
