Unique gold 911 Turbo for China

Porsche is celebrating 10 years of car sales in China with a bespoke version of the 911 Turbo S.

Only 10 examples of the limited Anniversary Edition Porsche 911 Turbo S will be made for Chinese customers to celebrate the firm's first decade selling cars there.

Each of the 10 marks one of the years Porsche has been offering cars in China. In its first year, Porsche only sold 27 cars, but now it provides more than 13,500 cars per annum to eager Chinese buyers.

All 10 of the 911 Turbo S models are finished in a unique Gold Bronze colour with exposed carbon fibre bonnet. There are also dark headlight bezels and black-painted wheels to distinguish the Anniversary Edition from a standard 911 Turbo S.

The Anniversary Edition has the same 3.8-litre twin-turbo engine as the regular 911 Turbo S, so that means 530hp and 0-100km/h in 3.3 seconds. Top speed is 315km/h and the car comes with Porsche's seven-speed PDK double-clutch gearbox.

Inside, the Anniversary Edition has leather and Alcantara upholstery with gold stitching on the seats. There are carbon fibre trim panels for the doors and every one of the 10 cars has its own unique number plaque attached to the glovebox lid. There's also a numbered plaque on the right-hand front wing.
