Porsche has celebrated the 50th anniversary of its iconic 911 Turbo by launching an exclusive anniversary model that embodies all the best traditions and innovations.

When the 911 Turbo (Type 930) debuted in 1974, it created a sensation, setting new standards for sports cars. This vehicle combined advanced turbocharging technology from the racing models 917/10 and 917/30 with outstanding performance and a unique design, making everyday usability enjoyable.

The new 911 Turbo 50 Years model is limited to 1,974 units—a tribute to the year when the first 911 Turbo made its debut. Based on the 2019 911 Turbo S, this anniversary version not only honors the legacy but also reinterprets it.

One of the distinguishing features of the new car is the side vinyl graphics that pay homage to the historic livery of the Porsche 911 RSR Turbo, showcased at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1973. The anniversary model is also available in the exclusive Turbonite color, making its first appearance on a 911.

Turbonite adorns the rear engine cover, fuel tank cap, and Porsche crest. It is also used in contrasting details of the Turbo 50 logo. Another historical nod is the use of Anthracite Grey on the rear wing, rear apron, and air intake trims.

A badge on the rear grille features a turbocharger icon and the years 1974–2024. When the door is opened, an LED projector displays an image of a turbocharger on the ground next to the car. The 911 Turbo 50 Years comes standard with the exclusive 911 Turbo S wheels in Turbonite.

The interior is also rich in Turbo history. As a tribute to the early Porsche 911 Turbo models, the iconic McKenzie tartan adorns the center panels of the seat covers and door trims. Turbonite accents further differentiate the car from the standard 911 Turbo S, including seat belts, controls, and trim strips.

Illuminated Turbo 50 logos are featured on the door sills, and the logos are also embroidered on the headrests of the Adaptive Sports Seats Plus. An aluminum plaque above the glove compartment displays the Turbo 50 logo and the unique limited-edition number. The A-pillars, sun visors, and headliner are upholstered in perforated Race-Tex. An analog Porsche Design Subsecond clock with a special Turbo 50 design adorns the dashboard.

This anniversary model is not just a tribute to the past but a significant milestone for Porsche, continuing the traditions of innovation and excellence in every detail. The 911 Turbo 50 Years will be a coveted piece for collectors and car enthusiasts, embodying 50 years of history and a passion for speed.
