Performance

The Dakara is powered by a tuned version of the Cayenne Turbo S's V8 engine that produces 591 hp (441 kW; 599 PS) and 656 lb⋅ft (889 N⋅m) of torque, up from 550 hp (410 kW; 558 PS) and 553 lb⋅ft (750 N⋅m) of torque in the stock Cayenne Turbo S. Ruf says this allows the Dakara to accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 4.8 seconds, 0.1 seconds slower than a stock Cayenne Turbo S.[1] It also has re-tuned suspension as well as optional ceramic composite brakes.

Features

The most notable differences between the Dakara and the standard Cayenne is the headlamps, which are taken from a (911/997) model Porsche 911. On the exterior, it also has a Ruf body kit with a redesigned front end, widened fenders and 22 inch five spoke alloy wheels.[2] On the interior, the Dakara features front and rear-facing cameras, redesigned leather seats, an LED lighting package and a high end multimedia system that features TV and phone reception, internet access, CD and DVD compatibility and an iPod interface.[3]
