An exclusive model made in just 1974 units and dedicated to true “Porsche enthusiasts” to celebrate the 50 Years of the 911 Turbo. A unique car where interiors and surfaces recall historic models, yet integrated with modern style elements to which the optional Heritage Design package is added.
The debut in 1974
When he appeared for theFor the first time in 1974, the 911 Turbo Type 930 transferred the turbo technology used in the 917/10 and 917/30 racing cars to a series-production sports model, delivering superior performance combined with a unique design and unprecedented everyday usability. This celebratory model – which is based on the 911 Turbo S introduced in 2019 – therefore reinterprets this heritage. The standard vinyl side graphics recall the historic livery of the Porsche 911 RSR Turbo model presented at Frankfurt Motor Show 1973itself a precursor to the 911 Turbo. The livery is characterised by the very contemporary Turbonite colour, which was introduced exclusively for Turbo models and is now being used for the first time on a 911, and which also covers the inserts on the rear engine cover, the fuel filler cap and the Porsche emblem. Another reference to the past is the use of Anthracite Grey on the contour of the rear wing for the rear apron, the base of the exterior mirrors and the edges of the air intakes. The grille of the rear bonnet features a badge with a turbocharger icon and the dates 1974–2024. When the door is open, an LED projector projects the image of a turbocharger onto the ground next to the car. The 911 Turbo 50 Years comes with 911 Turbo S Exclusive Design wheels in Turbonite as standard.
70’s Interiors
The interior also tells the story of the Turbo. The centre panels of the seats and the interior door panels are covered in the iconic McKenzie tartan, an exclusive tribute to the first models, while other contrasting elements in Turbonite include the seat belts, controls, decorative stitching, decorative piping with black leather inserts and the Porsche crest on the GT sports steering wheel. The illuminated Turbo 50 logo is featured on the door sill plates with black brushed aluminium finish. Above the glove compartment is also a commemorative aluminium plate featuring both the Turbo 50 logo and the limited production number of the vehicle. The A-pillar, sun visors and roof lining are covered in perforated Race-Tex. The dashboard features the Porsche Design Subsecond analogue clock in a special Turbo 50 design.
The Heritage Design Package
The package Heritage Design 50 Years of Turbo, inspired by tradition and available as an optional, enriches the commemorative model with numerous other aesthetic elements and exclusive equipment features that hark back to the 911 Turbos of the 1970s. The base color of the Heritage Design package is Aventurine Green Metallic. Alternatively, both the standard 911 colors and the colors from the Paint to Sample program are available. One component of the package is a high-quality decorative graphic in white (satin finish) that comprises three different elements: a lollipop with individually selectable vehicle numbers between 0 and 99, the 50 Years of Turbo logo and a Porsche logo. Fans of a minimalist look can choose to do without some or all of the graphic elements. The historic Porsche emblem from 1964 can be found on the front bonnet and on the wheel hubs of the Sport Classic wheels, which are painted in Brilliant Silver and White (satin finish). The Turbo 50 and Porsche logos at the rear are in gold.
