Porsche unveils the $14 million 911 Turbo S Duet

As limited edition Porsche 911 Turbo S variants go, this one is pretty close to the top of the tree.

Why? Well, you might need about $14 million to buy it, because it’s only available when it’s paired with an Embraer Phenom 300E business jet. That $14 million is reportedly the average cost to buy one.

The Turbo S Duet, as Porsche calls it, comes from Stuttgart’s highly regarded Design and Exclusiv Manufaktur departments, and features highly customised features that complement the Brazilian-built executive plane.

Given the standard 911 Turbo S will run someone up $473,500 if they walked into a dealer – a fraction of the jet’s worth – you could say the overlap is stretched between the two.

But it’s not lost.

It’s also capable of reaching a 13.7km altitude and travelling 3724km in a single hop.

Porsche recently unleashed us in its new 911 Turbo S at Kingsford Smith International Airport, where it reached 300km/h in around 26.6 seconds – making it somewhat of a ground-bound jet itself.

But Porsche has worked hard to ensure the Turbo S matches the high flier on a higher level than just mere metaphor.

So, for the 10 available to mega-rich clientele customers, a two-tone paint job matched to the 300E jet comes in Platinum Silver Metallic gloss on top complementing a matt Jet Grey Metallic below.

Trim strips in Brilliant Chrome and Speed Blue split the hues, and Porsche says all paintwork is done by hand – just like on the Embraer.

Meanwhile, the jet’s individual registration is painted on the underside of the Turbo S’s wing.

The Sport Chrono dial sitting plumb in the dash’s centre, like a jewel, now features a horizontal graphic like the jet’s own cabin gyroscope.

Now, where’s that damn chequebook…
