Porsche has announced some new special edition models of its iconic Porsche 911, the British Legends Edition Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS.
The British Legends Edition Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS are three special edition models that pay homage to British racing drivers Richard Attwood, Derek Bell, and Nick Tandy. These drivers have made significant contributions to Porsche’s racing heritage, each having achieved remarkable success in the world of motorsport. Richard Attwood, for instance, secured Porsche’s first overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970. Derek Bell, a five-time Le Mans winner, is celebrated for his endurance racing prowess, while Nick Tandy clinched a memorable victory at Le Mans in 2015.
Exclusive Features and Design
These special edition 911 GTS models will only be available in the UK and they will come in a choice of three distinctive colors: Guards Red, Sapphire Blue, and Carrera White. Each color is carefully selected to reflect the racing liveries associated with the legendary drivers. The Guards Red edition pays tribute to Richard Attwood, Sapphire Blue honors Derek Bell, and Carrera White celebrates Nick Tandy’s achievements.
In addition to the unique color schemes, the British Legends Edition models feature bespoke design elements that set them apart from the standard 911 Carrera 4 GTS. These include special badging, unique interior trim, and exclusive wheels. The interiors are adorned with Alcantara and leather, providing a luxurious yet sporty feel. Each car also features a plaque with the driver’s signature and details of their racing accomplishments, making these editions true collector’s items.
Performance and Specifications
Under the hood, the British Legends Edition Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engine, delivering an impressive 450 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque.
