Offroad Supercars (a la Hurucan Sterrato / 992 Dakar)

[mik]

SInce Harry's latest vid is hooning around his farm in a Dakar - did we ever have a vote?

[scotta]

Frankly i prefer an argument.

[duncs500]

I'm fine with them existing, but they're not something I personally want to own.

[Jobbo]

I doubt I’ll ever take the Macan off road but a Dakar; fuck yeah.

[Beany]

I mean, surely the bigger win from them is that they actually have wheel travel that's usable on backroads, rather than oFf RoAdInG iN mY sPoRtScAr?

[integrale_evo]

I don’t really like then or see the point, especially as most seem to be pose mobiles with permanently attached accessories.

I get the appeal of something not ground scraping and with a bit more tyre sidewall, but don’t think you need to go extreme off road to ‘cope with’ the odd speed bump and pothole.

[Beany]

It is a bit extreme for that, really, yes.

Quite nice seeing the R5 come on (IIRC) 205/55 R18s and have a bit more sidewall, rather than 235/35 or something to make it look Cool As Fuck in press photos, etc.

[RobYob]

Love it, healthy trend towards more fun and adventure.

Return of the Megatrack!

[Mito Man]

They look even more shit and out of place than their track special variants trundling around London - and in this country there’s even less opportunity to use them in their special environment unless you enjoy pissing about in a field. In which case you’d have more fun in a buggy.

[Ascender]

I'd have a Dakar in a heartbeat. Perfect for the north of Scotland's b roads, forest tracks etc. Stick a roof rack on and there's loads of options for wild camping, mountain biking etc.

[V8Granite]

I’d bloody love one, a 911 out of preference but would go further with it and have the roof rack, all terrain tyres etc just for fun.

Dave!
