“Celebrating half a century of the iconic 911 Turbo, Porsche introduces a special edition model that pays tribute to its turbocharged legacy with distinctive design elements and powerful performance”
Porsche is known for celebrating milestones, and 2025 marks a significant one—the 50th anniversary of the original 911 Turbo, first launched in 1975. To commemorate this occasion, Porsche has unveiled a special edition model, the 2025 911 Turbo 50 Years. Enthusiasts eager to own a piece of this history can place their orders now, with a price tag starting at $263,095. This edition is perfect for those who appreciate the rich heritage of forced induction in Porsche’s lineup.
The 911 Turbo 50 Years is based on the 2025 911 Turbo S platform, featuring a 3.7-liter flat-six engine that delivers an impressive 640 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. Power is transmitted through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, with all-wheel drive ensuring that performance is both dynamic and controlled. While the technical specifications remain largely unchanged from the standard Turbo S, the 50 Years edition stands out with its lowered suspension—dropped by 0.4 inches—and a sports exhaust system that includes black tailpipes. However, it’s the unique design details that truly set this model apart.
The car’s exterior is adorned with decals inspired by the 1973 RSR Turbo, which paved the way for the production of the 930 model. The wheels and other inlays are finished in a special color called Turbonite, while a distinctive badge on the decklid features a turbocharger graphic. Even the puddle lights make a statement, projecting turbocharger images onto the ground as you enter and exit the vehicle.
Inside, the 911 Turbo 50 Years edition embraces its heritage with tartan upholstery and numerous Turbo 50 branding elements, including a numbered plaque positioned above the glove box. For those looking to enhance the nostalgic feel, the optional Heritage Design package offers sport classic wheels and customizable race numbers on the doors, ranging from 0 to 99.
And for the true Porsche aficionado, there’s more than just the car. Porsche Design has crafted 1974 special chronographs to accompany the Turbo 50 Years edition, each featuring Turbonite accents and a strap made from the same black leather used in the car’s interior. The clear case back of the watch reveals a winding rotor designed to resemble the car’s wheels, ensuring the timepiece is as much a part of the celebration as the car itself.
Over the years, the “Turbo” label has been applied to various Porsche models, some of which don’t even feature an engine, while it’s been withheld from others that do have turbochargers. The 911 Turbo 50 Years edition, however, serves as a powerful reminder of where it all began, paying homage to the legacy that started five decades ago and continues to thrill car enthusiasts today.
