Porsche 911 S/T with GT3 RS heart revealed with just 1963 units to be built

 

The new 911 S/T could be the ultimate driver’s car with a purist manual transmission and 386kW flat-six engine for ‘just’ $660K


Porsche has pulled the covers off its lightest road-going 992-generation 911 yet, the S/T. 

Weighing in at just 1380kg, the 911 S/T has been priced in Australia from $660,500 before on-road costs. That makes the newcomer $160,000 more expensive than the track-focused GT3 RS flagship and $271,900 more expensive than the more road-centric GT3 Touring. 

Porsche will make just 1963 units of the 911 S/T in celebration of the brand’s 60th anniversary of the 911 sports car

What makes the 911 S/T worth an incredible $660K?

The heart and soul of the new 911 S/T is the 4.0-litre naturally-aspirated flat-six engine also found in the current GT3 RS, which produces 386kW/465Nm and is mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission. 

The sprint to 100km/h is claimed to take just 3.7 seconds according to Porsche, with the variant boasting a top speed of 300km/h.

The 911 S/T manages to be considerably more lightweight thanks to the front bonnet, roof, front wings and doors made of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP). The roll cage, anti-roll bar and shear panel are also made of this material. 

Magnesium wheels, carbon-ceramic brakes and lightweight glass also feature for the S/T. A lightened clutch and single-mass flywheel, along with a lightweight exhaust system makes the S/T even more honed and lighter on its feet. 

Porsche says the S/T, much like the GT3 Touring, has been developed for public road driving rather than the racetrack, however as standard, the model does come with CFRP race-style bucket seats (normal sports seats are a no-cost option).
