Toyota Supra Group A, 1987. Toyota has a long history with the Safari Rally, with seven overall wins in the '80s and '90s with the Celica. They also campaigned with a rally prepared A70 Supra in 1987/88/89. In 1987 the car was naturally aspirated with a 290hp, 3.0 litre 7M' straight 6 engine driving the rear wheels. Driven by Björn Waldegård it led the rally until it overheated on the last day, finishing 3rd. Despite fitting a turbo that boosted the engine to 400hp for the ’88 and ’89 rallies that was the best finish the Supra managed and it was withdrawn in 1989.

Rally 1978: el diseño de competición legendario Björn Waldegård no terminó la prueba. Con uno de los 911 SC Grupo 4 preparados para este rallye, el sueco lo intentó de nuevo en Kenia y demostró a la competencia que podía ganar. Al final, sin embargo, el Rallye Safari volvería a resultar traicionero para el Porsche de Waldegård. El rápido piloto sueco tuvo que contentarse con la cuarta plaza mientras que sus compañeros, el dúo sudafricano de Vic Preston Jr. y John Lyall, ocupó el segundo lugar. La imagen del patrocinador estaba formada por superficies en forma de ola en tonos rojo y azules, familiares en todo el mundo gracias a las actividades del #Martini Racing Team, fundado en 1958. Una vez más, los diseñadores de Porsche han reinterpretado respetuosamente los históricos adhesivos en la actualidad. El número 14 en las puertas para el 911 Dakar es el mismo que llevó entonces Vic Preston Jr. Todos los juegos de adhesivos se pueden pedir a fábrica a través de #Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur. Los juegos #Rallye 1971 y Rallye 1974 también es posible solicitarlos posteriormente, a través de Porsche Tequipment, en los Centros Porsche.

Mercedes-Benz 500 SLC Rally Car 

Compared to some of the insane monsters that partake in uphill sprinting, this is certainly not the most jaw-dropping car you’ll see between the Armco barriers, but make no mistake, this is one very unique competitor, and it is far away from being just a road car with a roll cage inside and some stickers slapped on the bodywork. The only Group 2 model that Mercedes-Benz ever made was the 500SLC, so the 500SLC it was. It was also the only M-B to win a round of the WRC, both Hannu Mikkola and Björn Waldegård won the Ivory Coast Rally in one, an event that rivaled the Safari in terms of distance and toughness, so the big coupe has a well-deserved reputation as a fast and largely indestructible machine. For the 1981 rally season the reliable and durable M117 engine in the R107 had been uprated to 320 hp. Additionally, he was fitted with a lower final drive ratio to provide spirited acceleration. In order to apply the power of the eight-cylinder engine to the ground, the drive axle featured an 80 percent locking differential. Despite the requisite tubular safety cage, the weight of the car had been reduced from 1,586 to 1,350 kilograms. The front of the car was fitted with a phalanx of four huge and powerful Cibié rally lights. The sparse interior featured a dominant, large upright hydraulic handbrake, that when deftly applied, would swing the rear of the car out to line it up for approaching turns. All these features of the R107 rally car allow for spectacular visuals and drift angles – to the approval of the rally fans and photographers.

Porsche 911 Dakar Historic Decorative Wraps, 2023. Porsche is offering vinyl wraps that reprise the look of the 1971, 1974, and 1978 entrants in the East African Safari Rally. The Rallye 1971 decal set adds the competition number 19, which belonged to the most successful 911 in this rally – a car that came 5th, driven by Polish drivers Sobiesław Zasada and Marian Bień. In 1974 a 911 Carrera 2.7 RS driven by Björn Waldegård came second. The decals of the main sponsor were the blue stripes that traced the shoulder lines of the otherwise white car. The 1974 wrap takes up this theme augmented by the Porsche logo on the lower edges of the doors. The 1978 wrap relates to the Safari Rally in which Vic Preston Jr. came second driving car number 14 sponsored by Martini whose wave-shaped surfaces in orange and light blue have been reinterpreted by Porsche designers

Rallye 1974: Björn Waldegård entra en la batalla El #Rallye #Safari contaba con etapas increíblemente largas: en 1974, la carrera se dividió en tres secciones de entre 1.450 y 2.019 kilómetros, que los equipos debían completar en solo cinco días. De los 99 vehículos inscritos solo 16 llegaron a la meta. El campeón sueco Björn Waldegård, que ya había ganado dos veces el Rallye de Montecarlo con un #Porsche, mantuvo el liderato durante mucho tiempo, junto a su copiloto Hans Thorszelius, al volante del #911Carrera 2.7 RS y comenzó la tercera sección con una diferencia de 36 minutos sobre el segundo clasificado. Desafortunadamente, un brazo de suspensión dañado le costó 72 minutos y, al final, Waldegård pudo continuar en carrera y terminar segundo. La característica destacada de los adhesivos del patrocinador principal eran las franjas azules que trazaban las líneas de los hombros del 911 color blanco. El diseño actual se inspira en aquel y se complementa con el logotipo Porsche en los bordes inferiores de las puertas.
