Porsche 911 S/T: Specs, Price & 1,963-Car History

By CarWhere Research · Updated

The Porsche 911 S/T is a 992-generation special built for the 911's 60th anniversary and limited to 1,963 cars. It pairs the 911 GT3 RS's 518 hp (525 PS) 4.0-liter flat-six with a six-speed manual, weighs 3,056 lb, and revives the internal name of Porsche's 1969–1972 racing 911 S.

Porsche announced the modern 911 S/T in August 2023 as its 60th-anniversary 911, capping production at 1,963 cars as a nod to the 911's 1963 debut. The recipe is unusually specific: the high-revving 4.0-liter engine from the 911 GT3 RS, a six-speed manual with shorter gearing than the GT3, a new lightweight clutch with a single-mass flywheel, and carbon-fiber panels throughout. At 3,056 lb it is the lightest car of the 992 generation, and Porsche tuned it for back roads rather than lap times.

The name goes back to 1969, when Porsche began offering a competition version of the 911 S that the factory called the 911 ST internally. Homologated with a 2.2-liter engine and the 911 T's stripped interior, those cars won the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally and grew through 2.3-, 2.4- and 2.5-liter engines before the Carrera RS 2.7 took over. The 2023 car borrows that idea of a light, unadorned 911 rather than any of the original's hardware.

What made the 911 S/T significant

  • Porsche called it the lightest 911 of the 992 generation at 3,056 lb.[3]
  • It combined the GT3 RS engine with a GT3-based body and a manual gearbox, and Porsche developed it for public roads rather than track use.[3]
  • The 1,963-car cap refers to 1963, the year the 911 (then called 901) was first shown at the Frankfurt IAA on September 12.[3]
  • Its name ties it to the 1969–1972 911 S racing cars that won the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally and paved the way for the Carrera RS 2.7.[1]

What to check before you buy a 911 S/T

  • Match the limited-edition number plaque to the car's Porsche paperwork. Porsche itself once fitted the same number, 1724, to two different S/Ts, so the plaque alone is not proof of identity.[4]
  • Confirm options from the build sheet or window sticker rather than the listing. The optional Heritage Design Package (Shore Blue Metallic, Ceramica wheels, Cognac-and-black leather, gold rear script) is the most visible add-on and should appear on the original order.[2]
  • Inspect the standard magnesium center-lock wheels and PCCB ceramic brakes closely; both are expensive to replace, so look for curb damage, wheel refinishing and rotor wear.[3]
  • Ask for clutch and service records. The S/T uses its own lightweight clutch and single-mass flywheel, and track use or hard launches show up in clutch wear.[3]
  • Have a Porsche dealer check remaining factory warranty or Certified Pre-Owned eligibility, and get an independent pre-purchase inspection that includes a check for paint and panel repair on the carbon-fiber body parts.
