The rights to Dakar in the automotive world belong to the ASO, the organization that organizes the Dakar rally. At Porsche they hoped to be able to use it freely due to the fact that it is the name of a city (and therefore in the public domain), but in the end they had to negotiate for its use. they paid a price (unknown) for their rights and are authorized to use it. No matter how high the fee has been, it seems that they will pay it off taking into account the success that this specimen has had. It will be manufactured in a limited edition of 2,500 copies and its price in Spain part of 256,042 euros.
The Porsche 911 Dakar could not use the mythical name Safari for this reason
