The 911 Turbo turns 50 in 2024 and Porsche is celebrating the big milestone with a special anniversary edition – the 911 Turbo 50 Years – which made a head-turning appearance at Monterey Car Week. Featuring styling references, inside and out, from those early Turbo models – like its interior with Dress Mackenzie tartan-inspired highlights – as well as special badging and details throughout, only 1,974 will be made. That figure, of course, corresponds to 1974, the first year of production of the 911 Turbo.
Alongside it, Porsche presented an early Turbo model in the shape of a classic 930 Turbo from 1975. Over at The Quail, fans were also treated to the public premiere of the optionally available Heritage Design Package 50 Years Turbo. With additional exclusive design and equipment features inspired by 911 Turbo models of the 1970s, it was displayed in the striking base color used for the Heritage Design Package, Aventurine Green Metallic.
One of the standout Porsche cars at Monterey Car Week was this beautiful one-off 911 Speedster (type 993). Brought to life by the Porsche Sonderwunsch team, who turn customer special requests into stunning reality, it was commissioned by renowned Italian designer Luca Trazzi.
The Speedster name has been associated with Porsche since 1954. This bespoke model is the embodiment of Trazzi’s vision and passion for Porsche and is based on a 911 Carrera Cabriolet (type 993) from 1994.
At Monterey, fans could also catch a glimpse of a custom Porsche 911 S/T owned by Kentucky-based sports car collector and horse breeder, Jorge Carnicero. His unique model, finished in a bespoke color called Dani Blue, was another special model crafted by the Porsche Sonderwunsch program.
Porsche officially handed over the Dani Blue 911 S/T to a thrilled Jorge in Monterey, where it was one of the standout Porsche cars of the entire week.
