Yahoo Autos One-of-a-kind Porsche 911 Turbo marks 50 years since the original model
Porsche has spent 2023 celebrating two major milestones: its 75th anniversary and 60 years of the 911. While 2024 is on the horizon, the year isn't over yet and neither are the celebrations. The brand presented a one-off 911 Turbo inspired by the original model from 1974.
Unveiled in Dubai, the one-of-a-kind coupe was created jointly by Porsche's design department, its Exclusive Manufaktur department, its Middle Eastern division, and folks from its Heritage & Museum arm. It's finished in a shade of silver that echoes the paint applied to the first 911 Turbo, it rides on black-finished Fuchs-look wheels, and it features "PORSCHE" decals on a tartan background above the rocker panels.
Numerous small details add a finishing touch to the look, such as black paint on the exterior door handles, an old-school "TURBO" emblem on the back, and an "A" sticker on the right side of the rear license plate. The letter stands for Austria, which might initially look odd; Porsche is based in Stuttgart, Germany. However, the original 911 Turbo was built for and given to Louise Piëch, Ferdinand Porsche's daughter, for her 70th birthday. She was born in Austria, she lived there (she notably owned the country's Porsche importer), and she's buried there.
