In the world of SUVs, finding a practical off-road-ready car is quite easy. However, what if you had a dream of owning a supercar that could take you off-road, add a bit of practicality, and keep a few things on the roof? Well, sometimes dreams do come true, and thanks to Porsche and Lamborghini, we now have two cars that can almost do it all. In this week’s edition of DubiCompare, we are pitting 911 Dakar vs Huracan Sterrato.
Whether it’s accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in under 3.5 seconds, reaching speeds over 200 km/h, or conquering off-road terrain with a kick of sand from those all-terrain tires, the Porsche 911 Dakar and the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato excel at it all. Let’s look at a detailed comparison between two off-road supercars.
911 Dakar vs Huracan Sterrato: Dimensions
| Dimensions | 911 Dakar | Huracan Sterrato |
| Length | 4,530mm | 4,525mm |
| Width | 2,033mm | 2,236mm |
| Height | 1,338mm | 1,248mm |
| Wheelbase | 2,450mm | 2,620mm |
| Fuel Tank Capacity | 67L | 80L |
| Boot Space | 132L | 100L |
The 911 Dakar has more headroom compared to the Huracan Sterrato. However, the Sterrato is longer and is better for high-speed pursuits due to its lower stance. Apart from these minor differences, both have space for the driver and co-driver and can accommodate a small bag in the luggage compartment.
911 Dakar vs Huracan Sterrato: Exterior Design
| Features | 911 Dakar | Huracan Sterrato |

| Tyres | All-Terrain | All-Terrain |
| Rear Spoiler | Yes | Yes |
| Exhaust Tips | Dual | Dual |
| Skid Plates | Front & Rear | Front & Rear |
As far as the look goes, for some reason, it is still believable for the 911 to adopt the upright butch stance. However, to impart the same aggressive and rugged design to a low-slung supercar like the Lamborghini Huracan is a commendable feat.
Both are unique in their own right and bring a fresh appeal, especially with those optional auxiliary lamps and roof racks. The 911 Dakar and the Huracan Sterrato are both head-turners and show-stoppers on the streets.

The 911 Dakar is slightly better equipped in its standard specification compared to the Huracan Sterrato. However, both of these unique off-road supercars are highly customizable to match the owner’s preferences and can incorporate additional functionality.
911 Dakar vs Huracan Sterrato: Engine & Performance
| Engines | 911 Dakar | Huracan Sterrato |
| Capacity | 3L | 5.2L |
| Max Power | 480hp | 610hp |
| Peak Torque | 570Nm | 560Nm |

| 0 to 100km/h | 3.4 seconds | 3.4 seconds |
| Gearbox | 8-Speed DCT | 7-Speed DCT |
Both are evenly matched in terms of on-road supercar performance. Porsche employs a 3L twin-turbo engine to power the 911 Dakar, providing a good balance between efficiency and performance.
On the other hand, the more enthusiastic, pure-bred performance of the naturally aspirated V10 makes the engine of the Huracan Sterrato rev happy and gives it a fantastic soundtrack.
911 Dakar vs Huracan Sterrato: Off-Road
| Stats | 911 Dakar | Huracan Sterrato |
| Approach Angle | 14.2 degrees | 10.4 degrees |
| Breakover Angle | 16.4 degrees | 14.7 degrees |
| Departure Angle | 16.2 degrees | 26.5 degrees |
| Ground Clearance | 161mm | 171mm |
Now, a section that we never thought would be possible with a supercar – the off-road angles. The Sterrato has slightly more ground clearance as standard compared to the 911 Dakar. The Sterrato’s low-slung supercar stance compromises its approach angle and frees up the departure angle. In contrast, the 911 Dakar strikes an even balance between all the off-road angles for a more SUV-like approach.

| Airbags | 4 | 5 |

Both supercars are equally equipped for safety, and additional safety features can be added from the options list. The Porsche 911 Dakar takes a slight lead in this section due to a few standard active safety features.
911 Dakar vs Huracan Sterrato: Price
