911s were winning rallies long before its Dakar success - time for a 70s sticker celebration 🤩
is named after perhaps the most famous rally there is - and certainly one of Porsche’s most notable motorsport victories - the 911 was being raced away from the beaten track not long after production started. Back in the 70s, in fact, there were forays into the East African Safari Rally , an era now being celebrated by new decal sets for the 992 Dakar.
If the 1971 look seems a modest rally livery, then that’s very much the point. It was the first time Porsche had taken on the East African Safari Rally, competing with the Porsche 911 S, and nobody wants to turn up to anything for the first time with an attention-grabbing look and then perform badly. It’s just embarrassing.
