Porsche has introduced the 911 Turbo S “50 Years” Edition, a limited-edition model celebrating half a century of the iconic 911 Turbo. This special edition combines outstanding performance with exclusive design elements, paying tribute to the legacy of the 911 Turbo while offering a modern twist on a classic.
The 911 Turbo S “50 Years” Edition is based on the current-generation 911 Turbo S, known for its formidable performance and cutting-edge technology. Production is limited to 1,974 units, commemorating the year the original 911 Turbo made its debut. Each unit in this limited run features unique design cues and special touches that set it apart from the standard models.
One of the most striking aspects of this special edition is its exterior. The car features exclusive side vinyl graphics inspired by the historic livery of the Porsche 911 RSR Turbo from 1973. Adding to its unique look, the “50 Years” Edition introduces a new exclusive color called Turbonite, which is also used for inlays on the rear engine cover, the fuel tank cap, and even the Porsche crest.
Inside, the 911 Turbo S “50 Years” Edition pays homage to the 1970s with its retro-inspired interior. The iconic McKenzie tartan adorns the seat covers and door panels, creating a nostalgic feel. Turbonite accents are found throughout the cabin, including on the seat belts, controls, and decorative stitching.
To further emphasize its exclusivity, the car features a Turbo 50 logo on the door kick plates and embroidered into the headrests of the Adaptive Sports Seats Plus. Under the hood, the 911 Turbo S “50 Years” Edition retains the powerful 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine from the 911 Turbo S, delivering 641 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque.
This powerhouse enables the car to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.7 seconds, making it one of the fastest 911 models ever produced. The performance is complemented by an advanced all-wheel-drive system and an eight-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission, ensuring seamless power delivery and razor sharp handling.
The special edition also includes a host of modern technology features. LED door projectors display a turbocharger image when the doors are opened, adding a touch of flair. The car is equipped with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.9-inch touchscreen for navigation and entertainment, ensuring that drivers stay connected and informed.
The 911 Turbo S “50 Years” Edition is a fitting tribute to the legacy of the 911 Turbo, blending historical design elements with modern performance and technology.
