- The modified 2021 Porsche 911 offers Dakar-style toughness at a fraction of the cost.
- A new suspension increases the ground clearance of the 911 and ensures comfort even off paved roads.
- Powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder boxer engine, this 911 is designed not only for speed but also for adventure.
The Porsche 911 Dakar is undeniably cool, but it’s also a wallet-crushing piece of automotive art, starting at $223,450 – and that’s before any dealer markups. As with other limited-edition 911s, prices on the used market have predictably skyrocketed, and 911 Dakars now change hands for over $350,000, putting it out of reach for most.
So what do you do if you want to own a 911 to do some light off-roading that doesn’t cost as much as a house? Well, this modified 2021 911 Carrera Coupe we found on Bring a Trailer could be a great option.

With bids already exceeding the $100,000 mark, this 911 is anything but cheap. However, it seems to be a pretty compelling package. Modified by Subscribe In Jacksonville, Florida, this 911 was transformed into an off-road beast, making it almost as robust as the 911 Dakar – minus the factory warranty.
Major modifications include coilovers with Motion Control Systems valves and remote reservoirs, new control arms and 18-inch Rotiform wheels with Toyo Open Country A/T tires. Fiveninedesigns has also fitted the car with LED flood and spot lamps on the front bumper, LED cornering lights on the wing mirrors, a ducktail rear spoiler, green tow hooks and clear side markers. The finishing touch is a subtle “911 Offroad” paint job on the sides.
We are particularly impressed by the interior of the Porsche. It impresses with the optional heated and ventilated, electrically adjustable sports seats in the front with black leather upholstery, green seat belts and green accents on the backrests.
Power comes from a 3.0-litre, twin-turbocharged flat-six engine with new software, BMW air filters and a Sharkwerks exhaust system. The 911 has only been driven around 8,000km since it was purchased and features an extended-range fuel tank, making it perfect for long and strenuous off-road adventures.
If this special Porsche 911 has piqued your interest, visit Bring a trailer and place your bid before it’s too late.
