Porsche Debuts Three 1970s Rally-Inspired Decal Packs for 911 Dakar
Porsche Debuts Three 1970s Rally-Inspired Decal Packs for 911 Dakar-August 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:19

Three Porsche 911 Dakars are parked on sand, each in a different historic rally livery.

, and . What are you supposed to do, though, if you want your very-extremely-expensive 911 to have the classic rally look, but the Rothmans thing doesn’t do it for you? Porsche has an answer for this, and it comes in the form of three appearance packages featuring designs from Porsche’s rallying efforts in the 1970s.

The first is called Rallye 1971, inspired by the 1971 Polish team, which took fifth place overall in a grueling 3,100-mile rally across Kenya. The racing livery for the 1971 cars was fairly simple, with black decals on the hood, doors and front fenders. Porsche’s Rallye 1971 pack recreates this and features the number 19, as this was the highest-placing car for the team.

Next is the Rallye 1974 pack, which draws inspiration from the 1974 East African Safari Rally in which famed Swedish rally driver Björn Waldegård was able to eke out a second-place finish after a damaged suspension arm cost him over an hour to repair, and the top spot on the podium. This pack features blue stripes running over the shoulders of the car and Porsche logos at the bottom of the door.

Last is the Rallye 1978 pack, which once again takes inspo from East African Safari Rally cars, this time the 1978 911 SC 4. This time, Waldegård was only able to manage a fourth-place finish, owing to even more mechanical trouble, but another team with South African driver Vic Preston Jr managed to walk away with second place. This livery features a classic Martini Racing inspired layout.

Porsche is pretty proud of these designs, which you can tell because they’re charging a veritable boatload of greenbacks for them. The Rallye 1971 and 1974 packs will set you back $5,260 and can be ordered as a factory option or as Porsche Tequipment from your dealer. The 1978 pack costs an even more bonkers $7,510 and can only be ordered from the factory.

The 2017 Subaru Outback 3.6R is Our Weapon Against Crossover Domination
The 2017 Subaru Outback 3.6R you see here was shot in early December in Montreal. Notice anything wrong with that picture? Yellow hay. What the hell, right? To put things into perspective for my southern friends, when I was growing up here in Québec 20 years ago, at this time...

For $6,000, Could This 1974 Porsche 914 Have You Going Hmmmmmm?
The seller of today’s 914 says it was his first Porsche, and that it could be yours too. Let’s see if its Wankel engine and overall condition will make its price the first order of business. What do you think is a more powerful emotion, love or hate? The seller...

The Ford Focus RS Is The Cheapest M Car You Can Buy New
I don’t think any car in 2016—as in, a car that you can actually buy, unlike certain others —debuted with as much hype as the new . It’s not every day America gets the kind of forbidden turbocharged Euro-hatch hotness that would have been unthinkable just a couple years ago....

For $14,000, Is This 1992 VW Jetta TDI A Great Car And Not Just A Great Cause?
Today’s Jetta is offered reluctantly by its present owner in support of his wife who has some health issues. It looks to be a great car and an even greater cause, but let’s see if its price is cause for alarm. A great debate was had yesterday over the value...

For $7,500, Is This "1963" Citroën 2CV Worth A Deux-Over?
In contrast to some actresses who strive to pass as younger, today’s 2CV is a more recent model trying to pass as older to get by certain regulations. Let’s see if its price tag gets a pass too. By the narrowest of margins yesterday’s warmed our hearts but hummed its...
