This POV review by AutoTopNL covers the Porsche 911 Turbo S 50 Years Heritage Edition, a limited model built to celebrate 50 years of the 911 Turbo, with production capped at 1,974 units to mark the car’s 1974 debut. The example shown is a development car and features heritage-inspired details such as green instrument lighting, a classic Porsche crest, and a tartan interior.
On the Autobahn, the reviewer tests the car’s performance. Despite winter tires limiting top speed to about 240 km/h, the Turbo S still delivers strong acceleration from its 650-hp engine, capable of 0–100 km/h in 2.7 seconds and a 330 km/h top speed under ideal conditions. The car’s stability and ease of driving at high speed are emphasized, highlighting how modern Turbo models have evolved from the challenging early versions into highly accessible performance cars.
The review also reflects on the Turbo’s history and reputation as a once-notorious “widow maker” turned everyday supercar. While the Heritage Edition adds exclusive styling touches, the reviewer notes the lack of mechanical upgrades compared to past special editions, suggesting it’s best viewed as a commemorative model rather than a significantly enhanced Turbo.
