Porsche is celebrating the 60th anniversary of the 911 with a special edition designed for maximum driving pleasure. The Porsche 911 S/T, limited to 1,963 units, focuses on consistent lightweight construction and a puristic driving experience. For the first time, the 386 kW (525 hp) high-revving engine of the 911 GT3 RS puts its power onto the road via a manual transmission and lightweight clutch.
For the anniversary of the iconic 911 sports car, the engineers in Weissach have designed a particularly puristic and fun-to-drive sports car: the 911 S/T. The exclusive anniversary model combines the strengths of the 911 GT3 models with touring package and 911 GT3 RS and offers a unique combination of agility and driving dynamics. It combines the naturally aspirated 386 kW (525 hp) four-litre boxer engine from the 911 GT3 RS with a short-ratio manual gearbox. Added to this are consistent lightweight construction and a chassis set-up optimized for agility and driveability. The 911 S/T weighs just 1,380 kilograms (empty according to DIN and including all liquids) and is therefore the lightest model of the 992 generation. Optionally, the Heritage Design package borrows from the competition version of the 911 S from the late 1960s and early 1970s. Porsche's GT and motorsport expertise was incorporated into the design of the anniversary model. This is expressed in particularly light-footed and agile handling, which is designed for maximum driving pleasure on winding country roads. The reduction of the rotating masses in the engine as well as in the wheels and brakes ensures a particularly spontaneous response. The S/T reacts directly and without delay to the driver's commands. Every steering movement, every pressure on the accelerator or brake pedal is implemented immediately and precisely. Unlike the 911 GT3 RS, the focus of the development of the 911 S/T was not on the circuit, but on driving on public roads.

The naming identifies the new 911 S/T as a descendant of a particularly sporty version of the first 911 generation. From 1969, Porsche offered the 911 S with a special competition version. Internally, these vehicles were called 911 ST. Modifications to the chassis, wheels, engine and body significantly improved the longitudinal and lateral dynamics. Large spoilers or other aerodynamic aids were not used on these models. The new 911 S/T takes up the spirit of the original 911 S (ST) and transfers it to the current model generation of the Porsche 911. The anniversary model combines elements of the 911 GT3 RS with the body of the 911 GT3 with touring package and supplements them Lightweight components specially developed for the 911 S/T. This creates a unique driving experience within the 911 GT portfolio.
