Porsche has rolled out yet another special edition of the 911 GT3, and unless you live in the UK, this one stays forbidden fruit. Called the Earls Court 51 Edition, it marks Porsche’s 75th anniversary in Britain, with production capped at 51 units.
Although the name doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, it does have some meaning, as the first Porsche 356s were imported into the UK in 1951 and displayed at the Earls Court Motor Show. Based around the 911 GT3 Touring, complete with a manual transmission, it’s finished in a special shade called Earls Court Green metallic, new to the Paint to Sample plus palette.

Positioned in the center of the hood is a small silver accent. The limited-run model is also equipped with matching silver wing mirrors and door handles and comes with special badging. Perhaps the most striking exterior feature is the unique silver-and-green wheels, measuring 20 inches at the front and 21 inches at the rear.
A Cabin To Match
Those who don’t like the green exterior probably won’t like the interior either, although we think it looks really stylish. The top of the dashboard is trimmed in Night Green leather, as is the steering wheel, parts of the door panels, and even the frunk. Contrasting the green elements is Chalk Beige leather on the seats and most other interior surfaces. Some subtle Paldao wood accents have also been added to the dashboard, gear knob, the seat backs, and the center console.
All examples of the Porsche 911 GT3 Earls Court 51 Edition include Porsche’s 18-way-adjustable Adaptive Sports Seats Plus, headrest embossing, and LED door projectors. Those who place an order will also receive a duffel bag, a 1:18 scale model of the car, and a Porsche Design Chronograph.
Nothing has changed under the engine cover, so the 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six carries over with 503 hp and 332 lb-ft (450 Nm) of torque. The limited-run model runs British buyers £251,951 ($338,000), which puts it £20,000 ($26,900) above even the 911 S/T.
