New, Limited-Edition Porsche 911 S/T To Commemorate 60 Years Of The 911
by AutoExpert | 2 August, 2023
Porsche has released the 911 S/T, a limited-edition variant commemorating the 911's 60th anniversary. The 911 GT3 RS's 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine is included in this variant, creating an incredible 518 horsepower and 342 lb-ft of torque.
The 911 S/T is mated to a six-speed manual borrowed from the standard GT3, but with revised gear ratios, a lighter clutch, and a single-mass flywheel, all of which contribute to a more exciting driving experience.
The external design of the 911 S/T is refined and sophisticated, drawing inspiration from the 911 Sport Classic and its available Heritage Design Package. This unique edition of the 911 is one of just 1,963 built to honor the year the car was introduced. It is available in Shore Blue Metallic with Ceramica wheels and has iconic green accents on the instrument cluster and clock from the Chrono package.
Carbon fiber bucket seats covered in fabric and leather with a Classic Cognac finish and black pinstriping are just one example of the car's modern take on classic design. The headliner is upholstered with Perforated Dinamica, and there are special touches throughout the interior crafted by Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur.
The 911 S/T is the lightest vehicle in the 992 generation at only 3,056 pounds due to its concentration on agility and weight reduction. The carmaker has used a number of methods to decrease weight, such as a lighter clutch and flywheel, magnesium wheels, carbon fiber-reinforced plastic components, and less insulation.
With its unique suspension design, including double-wishbone front and multilink rear suspension without rear-axle steering and custom damper and control system programming, the 911 S/T boasts improved handling. Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires provide optimum grip and stopping force. Thanks to all these factors, the 911 S/T has a thrilling performance with a 0-60 mph time of 3.5 seconds and a peak speed of 186 mph. Porsche has optimized its aerodynamics for road usage, maintaining a clean and understated look despite its remarkable performance.
Porsche 911 S/T is the pinnacle of 60 years of 911 development and refinement, a technological and aesthetic masterpiece. Due to its low manufacturing numbers and high retail price of $290,000 in the United States, this Porsche is coveted among collectors.
