In 2024, we celebrate a milestone in the history of the Porsche 911: the 50th anniversary of the Porsche 911 Turbo. This iconic sports car has been thrilling drivers for five decades and continues to set the standard for high-performance, engineering excellence, and timeless design. No details have been released yet about any special models so let's look back to the last decade in 2014.
Looking back to the 40th Birthday in 2014 there was a special model released for the UK market which was the Porsche 911 991 Turbo S GB Exclusive Edition which only special collectors even had knowledge of as this special model was released in RHD only.
As a UK collector, this model was extremely rare with only 40 units produced, one car for each year of the 40th Birthday and available in three colours, 10 in Guards red, 15 in silver and 15 in white. This limited edition model was created specifically for the UK market and offers a unique combination of style, performance, and exclusivity. This car has been somewhat invisible to Porsche fans as these collectors have them stored away. The website AUTOGESPOT shows some examples seen globally showing this special model has been seen in Monaco and Le Grand-Saconnexin Switzerland to Frankfurt Germany and of course in London UK.
The Porsche 911 991 Turbo S GB Exclusive Edition is powered by a 3.8-liter flat-six engine that produces an impressive 553 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission, which provides lightning-fast shifting and helps deliver a 0-60 mph time of just 2.9 seconds.
In addition to its impressive performance, the Porsche 911 991 Turbo S GB Exclusive Edition also features a stunning, exclusive design.
If you're a Porsche collector looking to add a piece of Porsche history in 2024 to your collection, then owning a Porsche 911 991 Turbo S GB Exclusive Edition is a must-have from 2014 but difficult to find. There are 28 cars registered on the road at the DVLA as we ended 2022 and 9 sorned according to the website how many left.
In 2024 the GB Exclusive Edition will be 10 years old and this adds to the collectability of examples in perfect condition and low mileage.
When Porsche releases information about a limited edition Turbo model for its 50th Birthday in 2024 it is sure to be a hit among Porsche enthusiasts and will be highly sought after for years to come as the 911 moves away from being only powered by petrol as we move into the electric generations of the 911.
In conclusion, the Porsche 911 Turbo 50th anniversary is a celebration of 50 years of high performance, engineering excellence, and timeless design. If you're a UK collector, the Porsche 911 991 Turbo S GB Exclusive Edition built-in 2014 is a must-have because if Porsche releases this 2024 celebration model with semi-electric powered engine technology the 2014 model would be even more special being the last Turbo S all petrol built to celebrate a Porsche milestone.
