Porsche Reveals 1970s-Inspired Wraps For 911 Dakar | Carscoops carscoops
embraced the idea of wild graphics for its rally cars in 1971 so that year’s Safari machines made do with simple black decals on the bonnet, front wings, and doors. The 2023 kit includes a “19” for the door, which was the number on the most highest-placed 911 in that year’s rally. Polish drivers Sobiesław Zasada and Marian Bień came home fifth.
Unlike the 1971 cars, the ’74 racers didn’t feature a black hood and fender tops, but they did gain broad blue stripes along the flanks just below the waistline. The modern version omits the Kuhne&Nagel and Nakufreight sponsorship, and the stripe is narrower to count for this, plus it gains Porsche lettering on the bottom of the doors.Bjorn was back for 1978, but so was his bad luck. Damage to his car’s wishbone, shock, and driveshaft meant he had to contend with fourth place.
The most recognizable, and likely to be the most in-demand of the new graphics packages obviously doesn’t carry the original’s Martini branding, but otherwise stays fairly true to the 1978 design, and includes the number 14 race number of Vic Preston Jr, who salvaged Porsche’s pride by coming home second.
