Born to
be wild!
Step beyond the ordinary and into a world where limits are meant to be challenged.
On roads. Off roads. Tough roads.
In 1984, it was not just a car that was born, it was a philosophy. Porsche 953 was never built to be displayed, but to be tested. In the sands of Dakar, where there are no rules, no roads, only what you create yourself.
We are not recreating the past, we are redefining it with the 964. Our off-road project is not just a vehicle, it is an experience, formed from the same spirit, the spirit of challenge and exploration.
From Dakar, to the Alps of Austria, to our sands at home, the legacy did not end, it only changed its location, and its name.
This is not just a car. This is Toughroads.
Not a replica.
A reinterpretation.
The Toughroads unites the proven technology of the 964 C4 with the iconic look of the Paris-Dakar 953 – individually configured in design, chassis and interior.
964. Fully restored.
Radically transformed.
The backdating kit pays homage to the original – and goes beyond it. Authentic Dakar heritage. True off-road character. A collector‘s edition for those who don‘t just collect history. They drive it.
Built with purpose.
Engineered without limits.
The 3.6-litre flat-six – Bosch DME injection, light single-mass flywheel, five-speed manual. Everything serves one purpose: pure, unfiltered drive.
Two variants. Two dimensions of extreme.
The air-cooled boxer is the heart – all-wheel drive is the soul. Desert sand, deep snow or tarmac: the Toughroads never flinches.
Three finishes. One spirit.
The Toughroads comes in one of three exclusive liveries – with a signature paint finish, matching stitching and bespoke gauges. Motorsport history. Made wearable.
