Porsche launches limited edition Turbo Terror 50th anniversary edition

The 911 Turbo 50th Anniversary Edition will be produced in a limited edition of 1,974 units and features a unique exterior and interior.

Porsche is marking the 50th anniversary of the 911 Turbo with a limited edition special model at Monterey Car Week. Featuring nostalgic styling inside and out, the 911 Turbo 50th Anniversary Edition will be produced in a limited edition of 1,974 units, honoring the original model’s first year of production.

While the Carrera and GTS versions of the 911 have been updated to the 992.2 generation, the Turbo 50 Years special edition remains rooted in the 992.1 platform. However, its unique features, especially when paired with the optional Heritage Design package, make it a highly sought-after collector’s item for Porsche enthusiasts.

The standard decals on the silhouette subtly reference the livery of the Porsche 911 RSR Turbo concept car from 1973, which inspired the 911 Turbo (930) that went on sale in 1974. Another cool detail is the anthracite grey finish on the rear wing, lower rear fascia, mirror bases and bumper air intakes, which contrasts with the main body colour.

The new Turbonite colour is exclusive to Porsche’s Turbo-badged models and makes its debut on the 911, following on from the Taycan, Panamera, Macan and Cayenne. In the anniversary edition, it adorns the alloy wheels, the trunk lid, the fuel tank cap, the Porsche emblem and the Turbo 50 badge.

Additionally, the words “1974-2024” are printed on the hood, and a turbocharger icon appears on the puddle lamps.

The interior theme is inspired by the zeitgeist sports of the 1970s, with bold MacKenzie tartan upholstery on the seats and door panels. The seatbelts and contrast stitching are finished in Turbonite, while the headliner is perforated RaceTex. Turbo 50 badges adorn the illuminated door sills, headrests and numbered anniversary plaques, and there’s a custom-made dashboard-mounted clock.

Buyers who want a more exclusive and nostalgic feel can opt for the Heritage Design Package “50 Years Turbo”. This package features an Aventurine Green Metallic body with a bright silver hood and optional silk matte decals, reminiscent of vintage racing cars. For a cleaner look, the decals can be partially or completely removed.

The gorgeous Sport Classic wheels are finished in white and silver, displaying the 1964 Porsche badge on the center cap, while the rear badge has an elegant gold finish. Finally, the interior features extended leather, checkered trim and green dials.

The limited edition model is powered by the same twin-turbocharged 3.7-liter boxer engine as the standard 911 Turbo S, which develops 641 hp (478 kW / 650 PS) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque. An eight-speed dual-clutch PDK sends all that power to all four wheels.

But it doesn’t stop there – the special edition features a sports exhaust system with black tailpipes and PASM sports suspension that lowers the ride height by 10 mm (0.4 in) for a more aggressive stance.

Pricing and Availability

If you’re considering this special edition 911 Turbo, you’ve already discovered that it’s for those with deep pockets. The Porsche 911 Turbo 50th Anniversary Edition starts at $261,100, plus a $1,995 delivery, processing and handling fee. That’s $30,700 more than the 2025 911 Turbo S Coupe it’s based on – and adding the Heritage Design Package “50 Years Turbo” will increase the price even further.

Deliveries of this exclusive model in the United States will begin in late 2024. On top of that, Porsche is also offering a limited edition chronograph with a black dial and Turbonite trim, which will be limited to just 1,974 units.
