Porsche Commemorates 50 Years of Turbo with the Exclusive 911 Turbo 50 Years Edition, Now in India

Porsche never misses an opportunity to celebrate, and 2025 marks half a century since the iconic 911 Turbo first hit the streets in 1975. To mark this milestone, Porsche has introduced the 911 Turbo 50 Years Edition, and it's now available for enthusiasts in India, priced at Rs 4.05 crore (ex-showroom). With just 1,974 units available worldwide, this model stands as a testament to Porsche’s heritage and engineering prowess.

At its core, the 911 Turbo 50 Years is built on the foundation of the current Turbo S, which boasts impressive performance figures. It’s powered by a 3.7-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine, delivering a staggering 650hp and 800Nm of torque. The car sprints from 0 to 100 kph in just 2.7 seconds, with a top speed of 330 kph. That's more than twice the power output of the original 930 Turbo from 1974, making this anniversary model a true performance machine.

The exterior of the 911 Turbo 50 Years is a nod to Porsche’s racing legacy, featuring graphics inspired by the iconic 911 RSR Turbo concept. Unique Turbo badging, special vinyl decals, and exclusive Turbonite accents bring a sense of heritage to the car. For those wanting to elevate the retro vibe, the Heritage Design Package offers additional touches like Sport Classic wheels, the original 1964 Porsche crest on the bonnet, and an Aventurine Green Metallic paint option paired with white satin graphics.

Inside, the cabin is designed to evoke memories of the ‘70s with its tartan-patterned upholstery on the seats and doors. Opting for the Heritage Design Package further enhances the retro aesthetic with green-accented instrument dials and a matching Sport Chrono clock, blending classic charm with modern tech.

The 911 Turbo 50 Years Edition doesn’t come cheap. It's priced significantly higher than the 911 Carrera, by over Rs 2 crore, and commands a premium of Rs 1.26 crore more than the Carrera 4 GTS. But for collectors and enthusiasts, the extra cost is justified by the exclusivity and heritage this model embodies. It’s a car designed not just for driving, but for making a statement.

In keeping with the celebratory spirit, Porsche Design is also offering an exclusive watch for buyers of the 911 Turbo 50 Years Edition. Limited to 1,974 pieces, this special-edition chronograph mirrors the car’s design cues with a Turbonite rotor and leather straps crafted from the same material as the car’s interior. It’s a collector’s item in its own right, perfect for any Porsche aficionado.

The 911 Turbo 50 Years Edition is more than just a high-performance sports car; it’s a tribute to five decades of innovation and excellence in turbocharged engineering. With its blend of retro-inspired design and modern-day power, this limited-edition model stands as a fitting homage to the rich heritage of the 911 Turbo lineage.
