It’s a Porsche 911 design 50th anniversary

Fifty years ago, and barely a decade after creating the first 911, Professor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche launched the exclusive lifestyle and merchandise brand called Porsche Design.

To mark the occasion, the Stuttgart-based carmaker has launched the 911 Porsche Design 50th Anniversary Edition, of which only 750 will be made. Luckily a few of those are heading to South Africa. Based on the 911 Targa 4 GTS, the edition offers a number of exclusive exterior and interior features, including a special clock.

The 911 Porsche Design 50th Anniversary Edition will be available in two colours: Black and Jet Black Metallic. This is contrasted by a Platinum satin finish for the Targa bar as well as the ‘Porsche Design’ decorative film on the doors. The edition also features an exclusive ‘Porsche Design 50th Anniversary Edition’ badge on the slats of the rear lid grille, while the ‘911’ logo on the rear apron is finished in Black.

The cabin takes inspiration from some of the historic product designs of FA Porsche. The edition features Sport-Tex equipment with special leather features in Black, while the contrasting seams are Slate Grey. The centre panels of the seats have a classic check pattern in Black and Cool Grey.

Buyers can also look forward to a Sport Chrono Package with the Porsche Design Sub second clock on the dashboard. Here the small second hand is red, another shared trait with the Chronograph I from 1972. The GT sports steering wheel has the 12 o’clock marking in Slate Grey, the same colour as the seat belts, while the headrests are embossed with the ‘Porsche Design 50th Anniversary’ logo. A final touch is the Silver ‘911’ badge with its limited edition number on the dashboard inlay, as well as the ‘F.A Porsche’ signature.

Customers of the special edition can opt for an exclusive timepiece, which is effectively a remake of the Chronograph 1 that was released back in 1972. At the time it was the first completely matt black wrist watch with a stopwatch function. Only 500 copies are set to be produced.

As mentioned, the edition is based on the 911 GTS, which is powered by a 3.0-litre turbopetrol flat-six engine that produces 353kW and 570Nm. It is paired with either an eight-speed PDK dual clutch transmission or Porsche’s unique seven-speed manual gearbox. The 911 Porsche Design 50th Anniversary Edition comes with the PASM active suspension management system as standard, and its high performance brakes are poached from the 911 Turbo.
