The Porsche 911 is one of the best sports cars on the road today.
But who needs roads?
Porsche has released a series of images showing its upcoming 911 Dakar off-road model undergoing testing ahead of the production car's debut on November 16.
The jacked-up coupe is inspired by a modified 911 that won the famed Paris-Dakar rally that ran across the Sahara Desert in 1984.

Porsche hasn't released any technical details on the new model, but the photos reveal that it has a raised ride height, all-terrain tires and underbody protection, and it is surely based on an all-wheel-drive 911 model.

The automaker said that it has completed 6,000 miles of off-road testing during its 300,000 miles of real-world development, which included extreme environments like a snow and ice test track in Sweden and the deserts of Dubai and Morocco.

"I knew what a 911 could do on the road," said racing and test driver Romain Dumas at the Château de Lastours off-road test track in France, "but I was absolutely stunned by how well the car performed here on loose surfaces."
