Heres the original Paris-Dakar 911. I didnt know it actually had a new designation but it makes total sense since this was a prototype.
The 953 was a heavily modified variant of the 911, designed and built specifically to compete in the 1984 Paris–Dakar Rally. It was a short lived model, as it was replaced in 1985 by the 959. It is sometimes referred to as the 911 4x4, as it used the developmental, manually controlled four-wheel drive system that was intended to be used on the 959. Naturally it had an extremely enhanced suspension, was powered by a 300 bhp (220 kW) naturally aspirated flat 6, and weighed in at 2,750 lb (1,247 kg). It was extremely successful with one of the three entered taking overall first place.
