Porsche drag races don’t get any better than this!

We’ve got our hands on the all-new, limited edition Porsche 911 Dakar, and it’s joined by a whole host of different Porsches for a drag race on mud!

We’ve got our hands on a 911 Dakar, 911 Carrera 4 GTS, Macan GTS, Taycan Cross Truism, Cayenne e-hybrid and a first-get Cayenne S, and we’re about to find out whether the 911 Dakar can truly leave them in the dust!

So let’s see how they all compare. Starting with the Carrera 4 GTS, it comes packing a 3-litre twin-turbo flat-six that can deliver 480hp and 570Nm of torque through all four wheels. In terms of weight, it comes in at around 1,600kg. The 911 Dakar is based on this car, so it comes with the same engine, power output and weight. However, it’s got a number of updates over the standard car! It’s been lifted, and comes with an updated chassis and bespoke off-road tyres, just to name a few of the changes.

The second race features the Macan GTS and the Taycan Cross Turismo. The Macan is packing a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 that can put down 440hp and 550Nm of torque. It delivers this power to all four wheels and weighs in at 1,960kg. Alongside it, we have the all-electric Taycan Cross Turismo, which has two electric motors that produce 571hp and 650Nm, and it weighs in at 2,245kg.

Finally, we have the two Cayennes. The first-gen is a Cayenne S that’s had a whole load of mods done to it to make it capable of tackling an off-road course. In terms of power, it’s packing a 4.5-litre V8 that can put down 340hp and 420Nm. When it comes to weight, it tips the scales at 2,150kg. And last but by no means least, we have the Cayenne e-Hybrid. It’s powered by a 3-litre turbocharged V6 and an electric motor, which combine to produce 462hp and 700Nm. Naturally, it’s pretty heavy, coming in at around 2,300kg.

So will it be a clean sweep for the Dakar? Or could another car sneak a win? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
