Porsche Releases Limited Edition 911 S/T to Celebrate 60 Years of Iconic Model Line
Are you ready to experience the ultimate Porsche 911?
Porsche has unveiled the latest variant of its iconic 911 model, designed specifically for purists and to commemorate the brand’s rich history. This limited edition, named the Porsche 911 S/T, will only see 1963 examples produced, with a select few making their way to Australia. Let’s take a closer look at what makes this model special.
The Porsche 911 S/T combines the best elements of the 911 GT3 RS and the 911 GT3 with Touring Package, adding lightweight components specially developed for this model.
While the 911 GT3 RS is designed for track use, the focus of the 911 S/T was on providing an exceptional driving experience on public roads.
Under the hood, the S/T boasts a naturally aspirated 4.0-litre flat-six engine that delivers an impressive 386kW of power. It is paired with a six-speed manual transmission.
With a 0-100km/h time of 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 300km/h, the 911 S/T offers thrilling performance.
This limited edition model is the lightest in the 992 generation, weighing just 1380kg. It features carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) elements, including the front bonnet, roof, front wings, doors, roll cage, rear axle anti-roll bar, rear shear panel, and bucket seats.
Porsche has also incorporated weight-saving measures such as a lithium-ion starter battery, lightweight glass, and reduced insulation.
To enhance handling, the 911 S/T has been equipped with retuned dampers and control systems, as well as the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) system. Additionally, a new lightweight clutch and single-mass flywheel improve engine responsiveness.
The S/T’s exterior is distinguished by a Gurney flap on the rear spoiler and 20-inch front and 21-inch rear lightweight centre-locking magnesium wheels.
For those looking for a touch of nostalgia, the Heritage Design Package pays homage to the 911 S from the late 1960s and early 1970s. It features a unique exterior finish, gold badging, and classic-design Porsche crests.
Inside the cabin, the S/T offers classic Cognac cloth seat centres with black pinstripes, two-tone semi-aniline leather trim, and a Dinamica suede headliner.
Australian-market S/Ts come with additional features such as a tyre fit set, auto-dimming mirrors, LED headlights, a front-axle lift system, digital radio, and a reversing camera with rear parking sensors.
To complement the limited edition 911 S/T, Porsche is also offering a special timepiece called the Chronograph 1 – 911 S/T, featuring a rotor shaped like the car’s magnesium wheel.
Porsche enthusiasts and collectors can get their hands on the limited edition 911 S/T for a starting price of $660,500, with the Heritage Design Package available as an optional extra for $36,760.
