Porsche really knows how to celebrate a milestone. To mark 75 years in Britain, the brand has unveiled the 911 GT3 Earls Court 51 Edition. It is a UK-exclusive model. And with just 51 units available, it is as rare as it is desirable.

The name of this special manual 911 traces back to 1951, when Porsche first showcased the 356 at London’s Earls Court Motor Show. That moment laid the foundation for the brand’s journey in the UK, and this GT3 Touring-based tribute carries that story forward.

Finished in a bespoke Earls Court Green metallic shade from the Paint to Sample Plus palette, this Porsche 911 looks both classic and fresh. Subtle silver accents across the bonnet, mirrors, and door handles add contrast, while unique dual-tone wheels – 20-inch up front and 21-inch at the rear – complete the stance.

On the inside, Porsche has used Night Green leather to wrap key touchpoints, and Chalk Beige upholstery and elegant Paldao wood trims. It feels neat, tailored, and apt – not overdone.

For making this special 911 move, it’s business as usual. The 4.0-litre naturally aspirated flat-six delivers 503 hp and revs past 9,000 rpm, paired exclusively with a manual gearbox here. Porsche is charging $338,000 (£251,951) for a piece, and considering its limited availability, both in terms of numbers and area-wise, it should be off the shelves pretty quickly.

In 2024, Porsche unveiled its second all-electric model, the Macan EV, nearly 5 years after its first electric model, the Taycan sedan, which was unveiled at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show.

Now, the brand’s third and biggest EV, the Cayenne, with 3.5-tonne towing, has been spotted on the ROVER approval-for-sale register, offered in two variants. This was first spotted by Roland L from the Zapped Au YouTube channel on X.

The variants include:

• Cayenne Electric – $167,800 plus on-roads
• Cayenne Turbo Electric – $259,900 plus on-roads

The 4.9-metre-long SUV will be available with a height of 1.74 metres and a running clearance of 175 mm. 

All variants will weigh between 2.5 and 2.65 tonnes, depending on the powertrain configurations.

Braked towing is approved for up to 3,500 kg, while non-braked towing is limited to 750 kg across these variants.

Battery details for the Cayenne show that it comes equipped with a 113 kWh pack, based on the 800 V architecture, with DC charging and a peak charging rate of up to 400 kW.

This will help get the SUV from 10% to 80% in as little as 16 minutes and can deliver a total range of up to 642 km on the WLTP cycle.

On the power front, the base variant produces 325 kW while the top-spec Turbo model bumps that up massively to 850 kW, helping it sprint from 0-100 km/h in 2.5 seconds.

With Porsche sales in Australia needing a boost, this model could help the brand get the kickstart it needs amid growing competition from premium brands like BYD-owned Denza and Geely-backed Zeekr.

If power and towing are important to Australian luxury car buyers, this model could be worth keeping an eye on. We look forward to getting behind the wheel of it when it lands later this year.
