In 2024 Porsche will celebrate an achievement. The anniversary of the inaugural turbocharged 911 model. To celebrate this momentous occasion, the Stuttgart automaker is releasing the limited-edition 2025 Porsche 911 Turbo 50 Years.
The 2025 Porsche 911 Turbo 50 Years is a loving tribute to the original 1974 911 Turbo, melding nostalgic design elements with cutting-edge technology and blistering performance. This unique version of the 911 is derived from the 911 Turbo S of the 992 generation showcasing design elements both internally and externally.
Retro-Inspired Aesthetics
While not as overt as the earlier 911 Sport Classic’s vintage look, the 2025 Porsche 911 Turbo 50 Years still packs plenty of throwback charm. The sleek sports car features side decals that bring to mind the design of the 1973 911 RSR Turbo concept. To enhance its appeal customers have the option to choose the Heritage Design Pack, which includes Aventurine Green Metallic paint and a vintage racing style roundel, with a number.
Stepping inside the 2025 Porsche 911 Turbo 50 Years reveals more retro-cool touches. The seats and door panels have a plaid design that brings a touch of the 70s. Different parts, inside the car feature Turbonite, a color specifically created for Porsches Turbo line.
Thoroughly Modern Muscle
Despite its old-school flair, the 2025 Porsche 911 Turbo 50 Years is thoroughly up-to-date under the skin. At the back sits a powerful turbocharged 3.7 liter six engine that delivers an impressive 640 horsepower. This substantial power is channeled through an eight speed PDK dual clutch transmission, to all four wheels using Porsches torque vectoring all wheel drive system.
Unlike the 911 Sport Classic, the 2025 Porsche 911 Turbo 50 Years is not available with a manual gearbox. The Porsche Turbo S comes with Porsches suspension as standard, which reduces the ride height by 10mm compared to the model. Additionally it includes a front axle lift system to assist in navigating speed bumps and steep driveways.
A Fitting Tribute
The 2025 Porsche 911 Turbo 50 Years is a fitting tribute to the turbocharged 911’s illustrious history. It might not be the version of the 911 (that honor still goes to the track focused GT3) but it offers impressive acceleration while providing a comfortable and luxurious retro style interior, for passengers. This model is ideal for Porsche fans looking to enjoy turbocharged excitement with a touch of nostalgia.
Porsche is limiting 2025 Porsche 911 Turbo 50 Years production to just 1,974 units worldwide, a number that matches the year the first turbocharged 911 hit the streets. The cost kicks off at $261,100 with a $1,995, for delivery. $30,000, above the regular 911 Turbo S price. Those fortunate enough to secure one can expect deliveries to commence in 2024 perfectly coinciding with the anniversary of the turbo 911.
The 2025 Porsche 911 Turbo 50 Years continues Porsche’s tradition of releasing commemorative editions of its iconic sports car. This unique 911, combining charm with capabilities is bound to earn a special place in the hearts of Porsche enthusiasts. Cheers, to five decades of turbocharging and the enduring legacy of the Porsche 911 Turbo.
