Do you know what is the 2024 Porsche 911 S/T?
Here is a quick guide to this special edition model.
What is the 2024 Porsche 911 S/T?
The Porsche 911 S/T combines elements of the 911 GT3 RS with the body of the 911 GT3 Touring Package and supplements it with exclusive components. The focus of the development of the 911 S/T was not on track use, but rather on driving on public roads.
It combines the naturally aspirated, 386 kW (525 PS) 4.0-litre flat-six engine from the 911 GT3 RS with a six-speed manual transmission from the 911 GT3. Porsche engineers developed also a new lightweight clutch exclusively for this special edition. Coupled with short-shift manual transmission, the high-revving engine in the 911 S/T delivers an even more instantaneous response. Porsche 911 S/T can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 300 km/h.
Lightest 911 of the 992 Generation
The front bonnet, the roof, the front wings, the roll cage and the doors are made of lightweight carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP). The car also features magnesium wheels, the PCCB system, a lithium-ion starter battery and lightweight glass as standard. With reduced insulation, the deletion of rear-wheel steering and weight savings in the powertrain, the weight of the car is just 1380 kg.
The 911 S/T is the only 911 of the current generation to combine a double-wishbone front-axle design with a multi-link rear axle, but without rear-axle steering. The dampers and control systems have been tuned accordingly. The standard lightweight sports exhaust system enriches the driver experience with a distinctive soundscape.
Inspired by the 911 ST
If the name S/T sounds familiar, you are quite a Porsche connoisseur. From 1969, Porsche offered a special racing version of the 911 S. Internally, these vehicles were called 911 ST. Modifications to the chassis, wheels, engine and body significantly improved their performance and handling. Large spoilers and other aerodynamic enhancements were not yet used in these models. The new 911 S/T takes up the spirit of the original 911 S (ST) and transfers it to the current generation of the Porsche 911.
Optional Heritage Design Package
There is an optional Heritage Design Package available for the 911 S/T. The new exterior colour Shore Blue Metallic and the wheel rim colour Ceramica are exclusively available for this particularly elegant variant. On the doors, a starting number from 0 to 99 and a decorative foil can be applied on request. The classic-design Porsche crest from the original 911 that adorns the front of the car, the wheel centre caps, the steering wheel, headrests and car key underscores the historic roots of the 911 S/T.
Two-tone semi-aniline leather trim in Black/Classic Cognac with extensive leather trim, a roof lining in perforated Dinamica, and other elements from the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur are also part of the package. The Porsche logo and the 911 S/T model designation on the rear of the car are finished in Gold.
Limited to 1963 Cars
Production of the 911 S/T is limited to 1963 examples. As a happy coincidence, 1963 happens to be also the year when the Porsche 911 was presented.
