In the year 2011, in order to celebrate 10 years of Porsche presence in China, Porsche Exclusive Manafaktur manufactured a limited run of special edition cars known as the 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S China 10th Anniversary Edition. Miraculously, only 10 total examples of this special edition 997.2 Turbo S were created, all of which were exclusive built for the Chinese market. This car shown here, which is owned by @aro77177, is the 9th of 10 examples built for the world, all of which can be easily distinguished from a normal 997.2 Turbo S from the unique ‘Metallic Bronze Gold’ paintwork, and oodles of carbon fiber elements surrounding the interior and exterior of the car. Around 1180 total examples of the standard 997.2 Turbo S Coupe were built for the 2011 model year, which further proves just how rare this special edition model truly is. The ‘997’ internal designation represents all Porsche 911 models manufactured and sold from 2004 until 2013. An updated version (997.2) was announced in 2008 for the 2009 model year during Paris Auto Show. Some of the factory enhancements the enhanced 997.2 received included a Redesigned Porsche Sports Exhaust (PSE), Enlarged exterior mirrors, Headlamps with LED daytime running lights and newly optional dual HID projectors, and much more. Other unique elements added to this very special 10th Anniversary China Edition 997.2 Turbo S include two-tone (black / chrome) Sport Classic Fuchs wheels, black ‘Turbo S’ badging on the rear, multiple ‘China 2001-2011’ limited edition badges located interiorly and exteriorly, and perhaps most notably, the extensive use of carbon fiber which can be found on the car’s bonnet, wing, and all throughout the interior. Speaking of the interior, aside from special badging that indicates this car is number 9 of just 10 produced, the seats and steering wheel are dressed in Alcantara materials, and black leather with contrasting gold stitching.
