Porsche Exclusive introduces a special variant of the 911 Turbo
Since it first went on sale in 1974, the Porsche 911 Turbo has become revered by car enthusiasts and is renowned as a benchmark high performance sports coupe. Over four decades, the reputation of the Porsche 911 Turbo as a technology showcase combining the virtues of a circuit race car with those of an everyday road car has consistently reached new heights.
In 1986, Porsche became the world’s first car manufacturer to establish a specialist department at the factory dedicated to tailoring cars to bespoke requirements. Porsche Exclusive provides customers with a unique vehicle that meets all of their wishes – in terms of both styling and performance. But besides offering custom manufacturing, Porsche Exclusive also builds extraordinary limited series cars. Even, Mclaren has come up with a similar section for its P1 and 650S customers.
With the unveiling of the Porsche 911 Turbo S Exclusive GB Edition, the rear-engined, turbocharged 911 and customization at Porsche are combined in a coupe that is the flagship of the 911 range and also the height of individuality. These vehicles will be available to order now, each car will be delivered together with a personal photo book documenting the production process, a bespoke Exclusive GB Edition indoor car cover and unique design sketches. This is another model added to the existing 911 Turbo line-up, which has become a bit too confusing already.
An all-wheel drive chassis with active rear axle steering, adaptive aerodynamics, full-LED headlights and a 560bhp flat six-cylinder twin-turbocharged engine are the highlights of this Exclusive GB Edition. The Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) active anti-roll system further increases the handling capability.
In profile, the 911 Turbo S Exclusive GB Edition shows a clear link to the first 911 Turbo – the black rear upper spoiler, Sport Classic wheels in black, black finished exterior door handles, and the black ‘Porsche’ script. Inside, the black leather upholstery features Guards Red contrasting stitching and other highlights include an embossed Union flag on the centre storage compartment lid.
