I was very keen in getting the Turbo 50 Years hoping it would have a whale tail or some unique exterior design that would be timeless.
seeing the photos in configurator of Arctic Grey build. surprisingly look wise it is very similar to my current build with different wheels and no sport design package! but mine has red interior with red & blue tartan. mine is a turbo and the limited one is a Turbo S

 

A sticker package.

Cool.

Especially if you have ~35K to burn in your pocket.

 

 

Take home seems to be

-Numbered car
-tartan interior
-gold lettering
-decal set

-no engine change, ?sits a little lower

 

A little underwelming in my opinion.

It will find buyers on the account of the limited edition and the "last of the line" mantra but the impression is Porsche pulled its punches with this one as not to create conflict with past products (SC) and future 992.2 turbo that will likely be very interesting with a wider variety.

Porsche is in the business of selling new cars every single quarter and has to be carefull not to give the customers all they want in a single product ... so as to have them coming back for more ...

 

Yes, very underwelming for me. The 991 exclusive was much more interesting.

 

Hugely underwhelming.
Should have been silver over red and blue tartan interior, rwd and manual, with fuchs-ish wheels.
Just like the ORIGINAL car but a modern interpretation.

 

@silversurfer6
You are 2/2 on the 992.2 GTS and the 50 Jahre Edition. Have no doubts the 992.2 Turbo Manual RWD would be a thing.

 

What the sht, Porsche. This is all the think tank could come up with? Decals and olive tartan. Blatant money grab.

 

Looks like its made for 70 year olds who wanted the 1974 car but couldnt.

 

Extremely underwhelming car. Interior package and decal set, wheels re-used from the sport classic, no special colour (bringing back the recently discontinued aventurine green doesn't count). Was really hoping to see unique wheels and a modern whale tail or tea tray spoiler, not to mention a little bump in power to send the 992.1 out. Not that I'd be in the market anyway, but certainly and weak effort compared to the S/T or sport classic.

 

All of Porsche’s line up is underwhelming minus a few groundbreaking things that they milk so well by trickling them down to many generations.

 

Disappointing. I'll wait for the 992 Turbo Manual. And if it comes with the brown/gold heritage interior of the Sports Classic even better.

 

In all honesty , I second that.

Porsche needs to keep customers buy the old product up to the commercial availability of a new and improved one: this looks like the strategy they play with the turbo 50th.
The company can not miss a quarterly result.
​​Sounds a cheap marketing trick but works all the time: kudos to them!

At the end of the day Porsche sells about 6000 turbo and turbo S combined a year ... a special edition of 1974 units will cover basically the 4/5 months between the stop of the regular 992.1 turbo production ( I guess around November/December 2024) and the start of the production of the 992.2 turbo S (probably sometime in the early summer of 2025) ... it will ultimately keep the order book full until customers run out to order in March 2025 the latest and greatest turbo to be delivered from summer 2025 onwards.

To each its own, I am not a collector and would rather get a e-turbo manual RWD 992.2 but I am happy with the collectors getting their "turbo50 last of the non-hybrid turbos".

 

MSRP is 264k. And they'll sell all of them. Most with ADM. Incredible.
