Porsche unveils 911 Turbo S Land Down Under

Commemorating 75 years in Australia, Porsche has revealed a new limited-edition 911 Turbo S, aptly named Land Down Under.

The 911 Turbo S Land Down Under was designed to celebrate Porsche’s 75th anniversary in the Australian market. Similar to the Sadu Edition, which commemorates the Stuttgart automaker’s 70-year presence in Kuwait, the Land Down Under is based on the 992.2-generation 911 Turbo S. Developed through a collaboration with the German marque’s Sonderwunsch programme, the Style Porsche team and South African-born Australian contemporary artist Werner Bronkhorst, the Land Down Under features bespoke Chromaflair paintwork. Applied by hand, the gradient finish transitions from Terra Australis Red across the lower body to Southern Cross Blue from the shoulderline. The latter hue has also been applied to the 20-inch front and 21-inch rear Turbo S Exclusive alloy wheels. A neat touch, “See ya later” wording features on the auto-deploying rear spoiler.

Of course, the Australian theme is carried over to the interior, which is trimmed in Dark Night Blue and Coolibah Brown leather. Hand-finished Australian Silky Oak wood inlays can be found on the facia. The seats feature paintbrush-style perforation, referencing Bronkhorst’s brushstrokes. A special motif featuring the number 75 has been embossed in the headrests.

As a reminder, the current-generation 911 Turbo S, which we sampled at its international launch event in 2025, employs Porsche’s 3.6-litre twin-turbocharged flat-six T-hybrid powertrain, which features an electric motor in the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. The setup produces a combined system output of 523 kW and 800 N.m of torque – good for a claimed 0-100 km/h sprint time of 2.5 seconds on the way to a top speed of 322 km/h.
