Beside the eRUF Greenster, the German tuner RUF brought the Dakara to 2009 Geneva Motorshow. Dakara is a Porsche Cayenne with the 911 face. We are trying very hard now to get the point of this car!!

For sure it’s not a cosmetic surgery because it looks even worse than the original Cayenne! Anyway, Dakara features a turbocharged V8 with 441 hp and 890 Nm of torque which is available at low rpms, that means it can do 0-100 in 4.8 seconds. It is also upgraded in chassis and suspension and brakes to cope with the performance. So it is not a desert bashing off roader to win the Dakar rally either, as its name may suggest! It’s more like a high-riding 911, If so, what’s the problem with the Cayenne?! it certainly looks better and will cost much less!

They might have done it as a technical showcase, but RUF does not need that! We all know what they are capable of. I’m sorry but this car makes no sense at all! They’ve just waste their (and our) time!
