    This is one of the coolest cars you've done, I love how practical it is. Seeing this inspired me to find the Dakar on a Porsche configure site and build my own. All in, it was $289,548. I got a lot of "no cost" options, the Dakar wheels, heated adaptive sport seats, I did pay $5,200 for the "Rally 1974" decal set, $550 for the heated sport steering wheel, and $4,540 for the Burmester high end surround sound system.

    As much as I love the technology and capabilities of the 911, I couldn’t really ever see me wanting one for more than a test drive until now. I can totally see a use case for a car like this. It’s not as an off-roader, but as a road tripper. There are a ton of interesting places out there that have rough gravel road access that you would normally have to take a pickup or SUV to get to. With something like this you can visit those places and have a sports car on the highways in between. I already have several trips planned. Now I just need to win the lottery.

Potholes, uneden roads, undeveloped roads, weather. This will go perfect. U sacrifice a little street grip and 0-60, but u can *actually* drive this in SNOW!

      Compared to the 911 Dakar, the Sterrato is just for 100% a marketing bullshit vehicle without any daily driving purpose, because it's too fucking expensive.
