Porsche has revealed the 911 S/T, its latest Heritage Edition model that follows the Sport Classic and Targa Heritage Edition in the series. The new S/T has been created to celebrate the 911’s 60th anniversary, but is limited to 1963 units globally and comes priced from £231,610 in the UK, with deliveries due by the end of this year.
In contrast to the Turbo-based Sport Classic, the new S/T takes its lead from Porsche’s GT models, and is named after the rare 1969 911 of the same name. As a result, it offers a unique combination of the top-spec naturally aspirated engine from the GT3 RS with a manual transmission and a road-biased chassis setup.
The highly-strung 4-litre flat-six engine produces a peak power of 517bhp and a relatively limited 465Nm of torque. But this engine is about motorsport levels of responsiveness, coming with the ability to rev right up to 9000rpm. The six speed manual transmission has been re-engineered for the S/T, so features shorter gear ratios and a new lightweight clutch that’s 10.5kg lighter than that used in a GT3. Its 0-62mph time is rated at 3.7 seconds, and tops out at 186mph.
