Conquering the Sahara Desert with 330 hp
With his incredible skills – and a custom Porsche 911 Carrera 3,2 4x4 Paris Dakar – René Metge challenged the desert. And won.
Over the course of almost 10,000 kilometres, René Metge had to overcome many obstacles to fulfil his dream. Not least of which being the torrid heat of the desert and a brutal bone-dry course. Of the 313 cars that started the Paris-Dakar that year, only 98 made it to the finishing line. But finally, after 19 days of battling the competition – and the elements – he made it to Lac Rose with a winning time of 16:58'55". A racing experience and performance that will never be forgotten.
