Active steering of the rear wheels for increased agility, a reduced turning circle at low speeds, and improved driving stability at high speeds. The rear wheels are turned in the same direction as the steering input at the front axle or in the opposite direction, depending on speed.

The 911 Turbo has left its mark on the world of sports cars. The 911 Turbo can look back on 50 years of glorious history, with newly interpreted design elements from the past and increased performance from the present.
At the beginning of 1952, Franz Xaver Reimspieß sketched the Porsche Crest. With the rearing horse of the Stuttgart city seal, the Red and Black national colors and the stylized antlers of the House of Württemberg-Hohenzollern, the Crest symbolizes Porsche's roots. On the 911 Turbo 50 Years, the Crest – as on all new Porsche Turbo models – is finished exclusively in Turbonite to emphasize the uniqueness of the Turbo models.
The legendary Fuchs® wheels of the first 911 Turbos are now replaced by the 911 Turbo S Exclusive Design wheels in Turbonite with accent surfaces on the spokes in Anthracite Grey and the Porsche Crest in Turbonite on the center caps.
Previously optional on the 930 Turbo, now standard on the 911 Turbo 50 Years: the extraordinary decorative side graphics in Turbonite.
Limited to 1,974 units – to match the year of the premiere of the very first 911 Turbo: the new anniversary edition has the impressive charm of a classic from the day it was manufactured.
In the 911 Turbo 50 Years, driver and vehicle form a single unit – thanks in part to the GT Sport steering wheel in leather with Porsche Crest, Black ring and decorative stitching in Turbonite. The drive mode switch for individual selection of different driving modes is also produced in Turbonite.
The Adaptive Sport Seats Plus (18-way) increase the fascination of the Turbo with a seat center in a tartan pattern. More than just an additional highlight: the embroidered “Turbo 50” lettering in Turbonite on the headrests.
The turbocharged journey through time is accelerated by fine and high-quality details in tartan – from the decorative panel on the dashboard and the glove compartment to the owner’s manual wallet, the luggage compartment floor mat and the decorative elements on the seat backrests.
The new anniversary edition is like a stylish invitation to set your best lap time at the track: with the Porsche Design sub-second clock in the unique 911 Turbo 50 Years design. The analog timepiece on the dashboard is nothing less than the spitting image of the 911 Turbo 50 Years Chronograph. The indices and the writing in White provide an optimal contrast to the Black dial with sunburst finish and rings in Turbonite.
Alerts the driver to vehicles rapidly approaching from behind or vehicles travelling at the same speed in potential blind spots. The warning is emitted by lights in the exterior mirrors. The function is activated by the driver using Porsche Communication Management (PCM) and is available from approximately 19+ mph. Below this speed range, Turn Assist (rear) also comes to the driver's aid by monitoring the area to the rear of the vehicle in turning situations.
Infrared thermal image displayed in the instrument cluster. Provides the driver with information beyond the range of the headlights. Detected pedestrians, deer, and other large wildlife are highlighted in yellow. Pedestrians within critical range are highlighted in red, and the driver receives an audio/visual warning.
The system automatically detects parking spaces. Once the system has signaled that the parking space is a sufficient size, the driver can initiate and control the parking process while still in the vehicle. The system automatically takes over the steering as well as the forward and backward movement of the vehicle. The Active Parking Support is able to park the vehicle in parallel and perpendicular parking spaces.
