It’s not often we taste a new flavour of Porsche 911. Usually the same models come around on largely excellent repeat: Carrera, Targa, Turbo, GT3, Sport Classic… there’s a 911 for just about any person, and any road. Except, what if you like mucking about on mud, sand, snow? Welcome to something called the 911 Dakar: a toughed-up high-riding version of the 992 GTS.
