Unique anniversary model: Porsche 911 Turbo 50 Years


STUTTGART: To mark the 50th anniversary of the 911 Turbo, Porsche is launching an exclusive anniversary model of its iconic sports car.

The 911 Turbo 50 Years combines outstanding performance and the finest materials with exclusive design elements.

The interior and exterior evoke historic 911 Turbo models, complemented by timelessly elegant and contemporary styling elements.

An optional Heritage Design Package further refines the aesthetics of the anniversary model.

Porsche has limited the 911 Turbo 50 Years, which is based on the last-generation 911 Turbo S, to 1,974 units in honour of the year in which the first 911 Turbo made its debut.

The standard side vinyl graphics are a nod to the historic livery of the Porsche 911 RSR Turbo presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1973, itself a forerunner of the 911 Turbo.

It features the current Porsche Turbo-exclusive colour Turbonite, which here makes its first appearance on a 911. Turbonite is also used on inlays in the rear engine cover, the fuel tank cap and in the Porsche crest.

It is also being used as a contrasting colour in the Turbo 50 model logo.

Another historical reference is the use of Anthracite Grey on the rear wing blade, rear apron, mirror base and air intake trims.

A badge on the rear engine cover grille features a turbocharger icon and the years 1974–2024.

When the door is open, the LED door projector projects the image of a turbocharger onto the ground next to the car.

The 911 Turbo 50 Years comes with the 911 Turbo S Exclusive Design wheels in Turbonite as standard.

Technically, the Porsche 911 Turbo 50 Years is based on the 911 Turbo S that has been in production since 2019.

Its 3.7-litre boxer engine with variable turbine geometry (VTG) twin turbocharging delivers 478 kW (650 PS) and 800Nm of torque.

With a kerb weight of 1,640kg, the result is a power-to-weight ratio of 2.52 kg/PS.

The 911 Turbo 50 needs just 2.7 seconds for the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h and hits 200 km/h in a mere 8.9 seconds.

Power is transmitted to the wheels by the 8-speed dual-clutch transmission (PDK) and the active all-wheel-drive Porsche Traction Management (PTM) with Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus), including the electronically controlled rear differential lock with fully variable torque distribution.

A sports exhaust system with black tailpipes comes as standard.

The 10 millimetre-lower Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) sports suspension and the lift system on the front axle are also included as standard, as are the LED matrix headlights, including the Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus.

The brake callipers of the standard PCCB brake system feature a black finish.

Deliveries will start in autumn 2024.

The limited-edition 911 Turbo 50 Years anniversary model can already be seen in the ongoing Beyond Performance – 50 Years of Porsche Turbo special exhibition at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen.
