2024 Porsche 911 S/T

The 911 S/T is the definitive 992-generation Porsche — a limited-run driver's car built to mark the 911's 60th anniversary and capped at exactly 1,963 units worldwide. It takes the 4.0-litre flat-six from the GT3 RS and pairs it with a six-speed manual gearbox the RS itself cannot have, while simultaneously making it the lightest 992 ever produced. Carbon ceramic brakes, magnesium wheels, a shorter gearlever, and the deletion of rear axle steering all contribute to a car that prioritises driver engagement over outright lap times — a philosophy that already has journalists placing it alongside the 997 4.0 and 991 R as one of the all-time greats.

This example is finished in Black over a Black and Classic Cognac Heritage Design interior, specified with the full Heritage Design Package (a £14,238 option) which substitutes the motorsport graphic for a cleaner, anniversary-referencing aesthetic — a choice that makes this car considerably more understated than the majority of S/Ts. The front axle lift system (£2,546) adds meaningful daily usability, while the full carbon fibre bucket seats, BOSE surround sound, LED matrix headlights with PDLS+, and Paint Protection Film applied to the whole car from new round out a well-considered specification. Limitation number is also fitted, confirming its place in the production run.

At 910 miles, this S/T is essentially unworn and carries a Porsche manufacturer's warranty to April 2028. The 518 bhp naturally aspirated engine hits 62 mph in 3.7 seconds and pulls through to 186 mph — figures identical to the GT3 RS — but through a manual gearbox in a lighter, less visually aggressive package, the character is entirely its own.
