After much speculation Porsche finally made it official this year an announced their own safari style 911, the 911 Dakar. Limited to just 2,500 units globally and with a starting price of $222,000 the 911 Dakar is not for everyone. But if you are looking for a rally 911 directly from the Porsche factory then this is your automobile. Powered by the engine from the 911 GTS this lifted off-road capable 911 will be rally ready right out of the box. Of course, most will never leave the owners climate-controlled garage, but still the car is pretty cool. It deserves a spot on our year in review list.
