2022 Porsche 911 Edition 50 Years Porsche Design Limited to 750 Units
The 2022 Porsche 911 Edition 50 Years Porsche Design debuts commemorating the 50th anniversary of Porsche Design. The new model is based off the 911 Targa 4 GTS with production limited to just 750 units globally. It features special aesthetic elements inspired by the first product the company designed: the Chronograph 1 watch. The price of the Porsche 911 Edition 50 Years Porsche Design including the Chronograph 1 is $195,850. It has a release date of this spring.
Exterior Design
All examples of the limited 2022 Porsche 911 Edition 50 Years Porsche Design will be finished in black as an acknowledgement of the Porsche Design Chronograph 1 – the first all-black watch. Several sections of the exterior are finished in Satin Platinum as well. It also includes 20/21-inch center-locking 911 Turbo S wheels, the Targa bar and PORSCHE DESIGN logos on the doors. Brake calipers in high gloss black and a special “50 Years Porsche Design” badge on the engine grille are included finish off the design.
Interior
The interior of the Porsche 911 Edition 50 Years Porsche Design has several special touches including a silver, numbered badge on the dashboard trim indicating that this is a limited production vehicle. The center console lid also bears the signature of Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, founder of Porsche Design and son of Ferry Porsche.
Furthermore, Sport-Tex seat centers with a checked pattern in Black and Cool Grey, headrests embossed with the 50 Years Porsche Design logo and a center marker on the GT Sport steering wheel in Slate Grey are also all special to this model.
Standard Equipment
An elevated level of standard equipment also sets the 911 Edition 50 Years apart from the 911 Targa 4 GTS that it is based on. For instance, it has 18-way Adaptive Sport Seats Plus, seat belts in Slate Grey, and the Sport Chrono Package with Porsche Design Subsecond Clock, distinguished in this case by a red second hand.
At the heart of this very special 911 Targa 4 GTS is a 3.0-liter, twin-turbo flat-six engine that’s unchanged from the standard model. It produces 473 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. In addition, it comes standard with Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel drive, an eight-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) transmission with the option for a seven-speed manual at no additional cost, and Sport Exhaust. Lastly, Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV+) is also included as standard with the eight-speed PDK and the seven-speed manual transmission includes a mechanically locking rear differential (PTV).
Porsche Design Time Pieces
Porsche Design also announces two new timepieces today: the Chronograph 1 – 911 50 Years of Porsche Design, and the Chronograph 1 -1972 Limited Edition. The former represents the first instance of a Chronograph 1 true to the design of the original Chronograph 1 first released by Porsche Design in 1972. It is an accompanying accessory to the new 911 Edition 50 Years Porsche Design.
In addition, the Chronograph 1 -1972 Limited Edition is limited to 500 units worldwide. This version of the watch remains completely unchanged from the original in terms of size and design, and features a solid titanium case back with the historic Porsche Design logo. It has a price of $7,700.
Price and Release Date
As we mentioned above, the 2022 Porsche 911 Edition 50 Years Porsche Design has a price of $195,850 including the watch. It has a release date of this spring when it will begin to arrive at dealerships.
