A 911 S/T Story for the History Books

Porsche has apologized to two 911 S/T owners after a production mix-up left both cars bearing the same “1,724 of 1,963” limited-edition badge. The owners appear to have accepted the apology after visiting the automaker’s Zuffenhausen facility in Germany, where the numbering error was officially corrected and documented.

To recall, Porsche introduced the S/T in 2023 as a 60th-anniversary tribute to its iconic sports car. Production was capped at 1,963 units, referencing the year the original 911 debuted. As deliveries of these cars continue around the world, two examples were produced with identical number plaques, an error the automaker later described as an accident.

Mistake Turns Into Memorabilia

So here's what happened: One of the affected owners is Suzan Taher, whose 911 S/T was originally assigned the number “1,742.” The other owner, Pedro Solís Klussmann, specifically requested “1,724,” a number with personal significance. He chose the number because he, his mother, and his grandmother all celebrate their birthdays on the 17th, while the number 24 refers to his father’s birthday.

To resolve the situation, the incorrect plaque was formally handed over to Porsche for archiving. Klussmann, who also serves as president of the Porsche Club Guatemala, and Taher each received official documentation, including a photograph of both cars now wearing their correct limited-edition numbers. The automaker also presented the owners with an “elegant” box containing samples of their cars’ respective interior and exterior materials.

Klussmann’s 911 S/T was specified with Porsche’s Heritage Design package, highlighted by an exclusive Shore Blue Metallic exterior finish. Inside, the car features seats trimmed in Classic Cognac fabric with black pinstripes. Taher’s example, meanwhile, was commissioned through Porsche’s Sonderwunsch program, the brand’s in-house bespoke division comparable to Lamborghini’s Ad Personam. Her car was finished in Paint to Sample Plus shade called Rose Red, with the interior receiving a matching Guards Red treatment.

Porsche said the Rose Red color – originally offered on models in the 1970s, including the iconic Carrera RS 2.7 – will officially join the regular Paint to Sample program starting in the 2026 model year.

The 911 S/T is effectively positioned between the GT3 Touring and the track-focused GT3 RS. As such, the anniversary model retains the 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine, producing 518 horsepower and revving to 9,000 rpm. Key mechanical highlights include a six-speed manual transmission, extensive weight-reduction measures, and a chassis explicitly tuned for agility and driver engagement.
