I think folks are missing the highest and best use case for the Dakar. It's not off roading (duh) and we lack sand dunes on the East Coast. But we do have, plentifully, are frozen lakes. I am going to use the proverbial poop out of the thing on the ice and on winter road trips.

I’m puzzled why Porsche would not include radiator screens to protect vital systems on a car that, supposedly, is intended for off-road use (per Porsche’s own PR)?? Makes zero sense to me. I have them on my 992S, and has already proved it’s worth, several times over….

Screens in front of side radiators
This official picture is better.

A new marketing material from Porsche ... shameless exploitation of the race heritage ... but I like it ...

A further test report, this one from a UK rallicross circuit ... nice pictures and interesting observations about similarities with 911s of old.
