Limited Edition Anniversary Model Porsche 911 S/T

Only 1,963 vehicles of the 2024 911 S/T will be built to honor the 60th anniversary of the Porsche 911 S/T an homage to the year the original 911 was debuted in. Collectors and Porsche enthusiasts will surely be thrilled by this limited edition, which will surely be sought for by them to own a unique piece of automotive history.

Design and Performance

The greatest elements of the GT3 RS and the GT3 Touring Package are merged in the 2024 Porsche 911 S/T. For the first time in the 992 series, the 4.0-liter engine from the GT3 RS delivers a strong 518 horsepower coupled with a manual gearbox. This mix produces a vehicle that provides a pure driving experience together with exciting performance.

Weight Reduction

To improve 911 S/T performance, Porsche’s engineers have concentrated on weight loss. At just 3,056 pounds—70 pounds less than the manual GT3 Touring variant—this vehicle is the lightest in the 992 series. Significant weight saving comes from using magnesium wheels, a lithium-ion battery, carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), for the hood, top, and doors.

Handling and Aerodynamics

Though it lacks a rear steering axle, the 911 S/T boasts quick and precise handling. The vehicle guarantees outstanding aerodynamic and mechanical grip by using standard Gurney flap and ultra-high-performance tires (255/35 ZR at the front and 315/30 ZR at the back). Unique to this model among the 992 generation, the suspension system consists in a double-axle front suspension with a multi-link rear axle.

Interior and Customization

The 911 S/T’s inside is meant to strike a mix between elegance and performance. Though four-way adjustable sports seats are optional, CFRP front seats are standard. The back has a gold-plated “911 S/T” logo while the inside consists of two-tone black and classic cognac leather. The Heritage Design Package provides a metallic beach blue paint, distinctive ceramic-colored wheels, and a traditional Porsche crest for individuals looking for even more exclusiveness.

Heritage Design Package

An optional addition called the Heritage Design Package accentuates the 911 S/T’s sentimental value. This package offers ceramic-colored wheels, metallic shore blue paint, and the choice to choose a bespoke door number ranging from 0 to 99. For an extra $13,500 the package also includes a limited edition chronograph that complements the Porsche’s style and a traditional variant of the crest.

Advanced Technology and Features

Although the Porsche 911 S/T gives performance and lightweight construction first priority, technology is not compromised. Among the sophisticated features of the automobile are ceramic composite brakes, which provide outstanding stopping force yet are lighter than conventional brakes. Additionally helping to provide the car’s agility and performance are the lightweight glass and less insulation.
