Monterey, California — August 15, 2024

In a grand celebration of automotive heritage, Porsche has unveiled the limited-production 911 Turbo 50 Years edition at the 2024 Monterey Car Week. This exclusive model commemorates the 50th anniversary of the iconic 911 Turbo, blending cutting-edge performance with timeless design elements that pay tribute to the brand’s storied past.

The 911 Turbo 50 Years edition is based on the 2025 911 Turbo S (992.1) and will be limited to just 1,974 units worldwide, a nod to the year the original 911 Turbo was introduced. This special edition features a unique combination of exterior and interior elements that echo the design language of historic 911 Turbo models, coupled with modern styling touches that enhance its exclusivity.

A Tribute to the Original Turbo

The original Porsche 911 Turbo (Type 930), introduced in 1974, revolutionized the sports car world with its turbocharged performance and daily usability. The new 911 Turbo 50 Years model pays homage to this legacy with several distinctive features. The exterior is adorned with decals inspired by the 911 RSR Turbo, while the new Turbonite color, exclusive to this model, is used on various exterior elements including the rear wing and air intake grilles. The anniversary model also features special badges and LED lights that project a turbocharger icon when the doors are opened.

Interior Reflecting 1970s Style

Inside, the 911 Turbo 50 Years continues the theme of heritage with upholstery in “MacKenzie” tartan, reminiscent of the 1970s. The interior also includes contrast stitching, Turbonite accents, and illuminated “turbo 50” branding on the door sills and headrests. A unique anniversary plaque above the glove compartment further emphasizes the model’s exclusivity.

Heritage Design Package

For those seeking even more retro flair, Porsche offers a Heritage Design Package that introduces additional 1970s-inspired design features. This package includes a special Aventurine Green Metallic paint, historic Porsche crests, and gold model designations. The interior receives extended leather surfaces and more tartan elements, along with green dials in the instrument cluster.

Performance and Technology

Under the hood, the 911 Turbo 50 Years is powered by a 3.7-liter twin-turbocharged boxer engine, producing 640 horsepower and 590 lb.-ft. of torque. This allows the car to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds. The model also includes advanced technology such as Porsche Traction Management (PTM) active all-wheel drive and Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus), ensuring it delivers not only on style but also on performance.

Exclusive Timepiece

Porsche Design has also created a special chronograph exclusively for 911 Turbo 50 Years owners. Limited to 1,974 units, the watch mirrors the design of the car with elements in Turbonite and a rotor styled after the car’s wheels. Each timepiece is engraved with a limitation number matching that of the vehicle.

Pricing and Availability

The Porsche 911 Turbo 50 Years edition is now available for order with a starting price of $261,100, excluding additional fees. The model is expected to arrive in U.S. Porsche Centers by late 2024, offering collectors and enthusiasts a rare opportunity to own a piece of automotive history.
