Register your interest for the chance to purchase a 911 GT3 Earls Court 51 Edition

The 911 GT3 Earls Court 51 Edition celebrates 75 years of Porsche in the UK. And you can register your interest now

Some Porsche 911s feel special because of what they can do. Others feel special because of what they represent. The brand-new, limited-edition 911 GT3 Earls Court 51 Edition manages both. And now, you can register your interest in getting your hands on one.

Created to celebrate 75 years since Porsche first arrived in the United Kingdom, the Earls Court 51 Edition is limited to just 51 examples for the UK market. It takes its inspiration from 1951, when two Porsche 356 models were displayed at the Earls Court Motor Show and quietly began the Porsche story in the UK inspiring a nation of dreamers. Seventy-five years later, Porsche has created a modern GT3 that links directly back to that moment.

The 911 GT3 Earls Court 51 Edition is based on the 911 GT3 with a Touring package, which is probably the right place to start if you want something special but not shouty. It keeps the GT3’s serious hardware – a 4.0-litre naturally aspirated flat-six producing 503bhp, linked to either a six-speed manual gearbox or seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, plus driver-focused chassis tuning. But it’s all wrapped in a clean, discreet silhouette. It will do 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds and reach 194mph; so while this car’s story may begin in 1951, the performance is very much present day Porsche.

The details are where the 911 GT3 Earls Court 51 Edition earns its name. Created by Porsche Cars GB in partnership with the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur at the factory in Stuttgartthe bespoke Earls Court Green Metallic paint was developed through Porsche Paint to Sample Plus and inspired by the Moor Green of the original 356 Coupé. Chrome exterior touches – including the bonnet stripe, door handles and wing mirrors – also nod to the early car.

Inside, it feels warmer and more collectible. Night Green leather, Chalk Beige details, corduroy elements and Paldao wood panelling give the cabin a rich, quietly old-school character. There is an outline of the original 356 embossed on the dashboard end, while a re-imagined logo on the rear lid grille references the craftsmanship of Reutter-bodied Porsche 356 models.

And this is where the opportunity comes in. Limited-edition Porsches rarely stay available for long, but Porsche Cars GB is inviting interested buyers to register their details via the dedicated enquiry form. One or more entrants via this application channel will be randomly selected (in order) to have the opportunity to purchase a 911 GT3 Earls Court 51 Edition. 

Better than that, each car also comes with a curated collection of accessories: a bespoke Porsche Design Chronograph 1 timepiece, a Night Green leather and corduroy Weekender bag, a 1:18 scale model and a commemorative book marking the 75 years of Porsche in the UK. It is a complete package, built around the car’s place in Porsche history, and makes this feel even more special.

Only 51 examples of the 911 GT3 Earls Court 51 Edition will be built, all for the UK. Priced from £251,951, this is your chance to put your name forward for the opportunity to own this special car.
