Besides the tempting drivetrain, Porsche also used lightweight carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) for the front bonnet, roof, fenders, doors, roll cage, rear axle anti-roll bar and shear panel (stiffening element on the rear axle).
The anniversary model also gets magnesium wheels, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB), a lithium-ion starter battery and lightweight glass, while the amount of insulation is reduced and the rear-wheel steering system is omitted entirely. With a kerb weight of just 1,380 kg, the 911 S/T is 40 kg lighter than a manual GT3 Touring and is effectively the lightest model of the 992 generation.
Porsche is also keen point out the 911 S/T is the only 911 of the current generation to combine a double-wishbone front suspension with a multi-link rear axle without rear-axle steering. All dampers and control systems have also been tuned accordingly for the revised powertrain, which is geared for driving enjoyment and not outright speed.
While the body may be a GT3 Touring, the S/T gets cutouts behind the front wheels similar to GT3 RS. There’s also a Gurney flap on the extending rear spoiler, along with staggered wheel and tyre sizes (20-inch, 255/35 front; 21-inch rear, 315/30 rear).
Inside, CFRP full bucket seats come as standard, which can be swapped out for Sport Seat Plus units at no extra charge. The instrument cluster and the clock of the Sport Chrono package are finished in a classic green Porsche colour scheme.
For even more visual flair, the S/T is offered with an optional Heritage Design Package that includes the exclusive Shoreblue Metallic exterior colour and Ceramica wheel colour. Customers can also add a starting number from 0 to 99 as well as a decorative foil, while the classic Porsche crest from the original 911 adorns the front, hub caps, steering wheel, headrests and key fob. The Porsche logo and the 911 S/T model designation on the rear of the car are in Gold.
The package, which draws inspiration from the racing version of the 911 S from the late 1960s and early 1970, also adds cloth seat centres in Classic Cognac with black pinstripes, which are another homage to heritage. Meanwhile, two-tone semi-aniline leather trim in Black/Classic Cognac leather with extensive leather surrounds, a roof lining in perforated Dinamica and other elements from Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur complete the cost option out the package.
Customers are also offered the Chronograph 1 – 911 S/T watch by Porsche Design, which features a titanium case, Werk 01.240 movement with COSC certification and flyback function as well as a rotor in the design of the car’s wheels.
