Special model commemorating the 60th anniversary of Porsche 911: Porsche 911 S / T announcement

Porsche 911 GT3 RS engine with MT: GT3 RS feeling for public roads, not for circuits

On August 2, 2023, the "Porsche 911 S/T", a special model commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Porsche 911, was announced.

First of all, I was a little surprised that at the stage of rumors, I thought it would be a "Porsche 911 ST", but in fact it is a "Porsche 911 S/T" with a slash (/) between S and T. (There?).

Now, I would like to see what was announced ^^

What is the Porsche 911 S/T?

• A special model designed to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Porsche 911
• Limited production of 1,963 units
• Weissach engineers pursued the pleasure of driving as a sports car for purists

• The engine is a 4.0-liter horizontally opposed naturally aspirated (NA) engine from the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, with a maximum horsepower of 525PS (386kW).

• The S/T responds instantly to the driver's commands, every steering movement and every pressure applied to the accelerator or brake is immediately and accurately reflected.
• Unlike the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, the development of the Porsche 911 S/T is focused on road use rather than track use.

Porsche 911 S/T, descendant of the 1960 Porsche 911 S (internal name 911 ST)

• The name 911 S/T for this particular model indicates that it is a descendant of a particularly performance-oriented version of the original 911.
  • Since 1969 Porsche has offered a special version of the 911 S, which was called "911 ST" within Porsche
  • Improved acceleration, braking, traction and cornering grip thanks to chassis, wheels, engine and body improvements
  • Large spoilers and other aerodynamic aids were not yet available on these models.
• The new 911 S/T carries on the spirit of the original 911 S (ST) and carries it over to the current model generation Porsche 911.

• The 911 S/T combines elements of the 911 GT3 RS with the body of the 911 GT3 TP, with the addition of lightweight components specially developed for the 911 S/T packaged.
• The result is a unique driving experience within the 911 GT portfolio.

Lightweight construction: fender to clutch

• The 911 S/T is particularly agile and direct handling thanks to its consistent lightweight design
• The front bonnet, roof, front wings (front fenders) and doors with striking inlets are made of lightweight carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP).

• Standard specifications include magnesium wheels, PCCB, lithium-ion starter battery, lightweight glass and lightweight sports exhaust.

• Reduced insulation, no rear-axle steering and a lighter powertrain result in a curb weight of just 1,380 kg (DIN standard), which is 40 kg lighter than the 911 GT3 TP(MT).
• Porsche develops new lightweight clutch for 911 S/T engine
• Rotating mass weight reduced by 10.5kg when combined with a single-mass flywheel

• As a result, the responsiveness of the NA horizontally opposed engine is significantly improved, and the rotation speed increases with a particularly powerful speed and direct feeling.
• Combined with a 6-speed manual transmission with a shorter gear ratio (closer ratio) than the 911 GT3, the high-revving engine of the 911 S/T further enhances the immediacy of dynamics.

If I am someone who wants a Porsche 911 GT3 RS, this 911 S / T, which is said to be "positioned as a GT3 RS for public roads", will resonate with me. In the first place, I don't need RS-level performance, so I would like to dream of the day when I can see a real car that someone has purchased somewhere someday ^ ^

Even so, it is limited to 1,963 units.

It is a model that is likely to become a competitive battle all over the world again. I hope it will be delivered to those who really want it!
