The almighty air-cooled Porsche 911 Turbo has returned, sort of

Porsche

• Porsche built a single brand-new 993-generation 911 Turbo dubbed Project Gold.
• The 993 was the last generation of the Porsche 911 sports car to be powered by air-cooled engines.
• The Project Gold Porsche 911 will be powered by a 450 horsepower, twin-turbocharged flat-six from the 993 Turbo S.
• Porsche will auction off the Project Gold 911 in October with proceeds going to charity.

The air-cooled Porsche 911 Turbo remains one of the all-time great sports cars two decades after the last one rolled out of the company’s plant in Stuttgart, Germany. The 993, the final generation of the 911 to use air-cooled engines, remains one of the most sought-after Porsches in the world. With two-decade-old 911 Turbos fetching upwards of $ 200,000. 

Now, Porsche is bringing back its old warhorse for one more tour of duty to celebrate the sports car maker’s 70th anniversary.
