Porsche 911 Turbo 50 Years: Honoring Five Decades of Turbocharged Excellence

Commemorating the iconic 911 Turbo’s 50th anniversary, Porsche unveiled a special edition during the 2024 Monterey Car Week. The “911 Turbo 50 Years” celebrates five decades of this legendary sports car, combining world-class performance with bespoke luxury and design elements that nod to the brand’s heritage. Based on the 2025 911 Turbo S (992.1), this anniversary model will be limited to 1,974 units globally, paying homage to the year the 911 Turbo made its debut.

A Modern Tribute to a Legendary Legacy
First introduced in 1974, the Porsche 911 Turbo (Type 930) changed the sports car landscape with its turbocharged engine, innovative design, and impressive daily drivability. The new “911 Turbo 50 Years” honors this legacy by building on the power and refinement of the 2025 Turbo S, with special features inspired by classic Turbo models.

The exterior includes side decals reminiscent of the 911 RSR Turbo that was shown at the 1973 IAA, with the new Turbonite color adorning the rear decklid, fuel cap, and Porsche crest. Special Anthracite Grey finishes on the rear wing, mirrors, and fascia, along with an exclusive “turbo 50” model designation, further differentiate this unique edition. As standard, the model features 911 Turbo S Exclusive Design wheels painted in Turbonite.

Interior Details with 1970s Flair
Inside, the “911 Turbo 50 Years” offers an interior that pays homage to the Turbo models of the 1970s. Upholstery features MacKenzie tartan, a nod to the original cars, while contrasting elements in Turbonite create a distinctive cabin atmosphere. The Adaptive Sport Seats Plus include embroidered “turbo 50” logos, while brushed aluminum door sills and an aluminum anniversary plaque add to the exclusivity.

Heritage Design Package for a Deeper Retro Feel
Porsche offers an optional Heritage Design Package to enhance the retro-inspired elements. Featuring Aventurine Green Metallic paint and silk-matte decals, this package includes Sport Classic wheels and additional tartan interior details. The package also incorporates historic Porsche crests, golden model designations, and green instrument dials, further tying the car to its roots.

Impressive Performance and Advanced Technology
Under the hood, the anniversary model boasts the same 3.7-liter VTG-twin-turbocharged boxer engine found in the 2025 911 Turbo S, producing 640 hp and 590 lb.-ft. of torque. Paired with an 8-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive, the car accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds. Additional features include a sport exhaust system, PASM sport suspension with a lowered ride , and Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) as standard.

Exclusive Porsche Design Chronograph
To complement the limited-edition vehicle, Porsche Design has introduced a matching timepiece: the Chronograph 911 Turbo 50 Years. Limited to 1,974 pieces, it mirrors the car’s design with Turbonite accents and features a COSC-certified caliber WERK 01.200 movement with a flyback function. The titanium case matches the car’s limitation number, making it a perfect collector’s piece for owners.

Pricing and Availability
The Porsche 911 Turbo 50 Years is now available for order with a starting price of $261,100, excluding delivery and handling. Expected to reach U.S. dealerships in late 2024, this special edition promises to be a highly sought-after collector’s item.
