The special edition 911 celebrates the manufacturer's rich history of endurance racing at Le Mans

The Porsche 911 Carrera S Endurance Racing Edition has made its UK debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed where it tackled the hill climb.

Unveiled at Le Mans last weekend, where the manufacturer won its 18th title, the special edition model costs around £21,000 more than the Carrera S, at £107,216, and is available to order now.

It gets the same 414bhp 3.0-litre flat-six twin turbo engine that powers the standard model, and is available with a manual gearbox or Porsche's PDK automatic; it gets some extra kit as standard as well. Dynamic Chassis Control and Active Suspension Management, as well as rear wheel steering and a sports exhaust system are all included.

It also gets the Sports Chrono package, which brings a lap-timer and launch control, and an electric sunroof, and the car sits 20mm lower than the Carrera S.

The 20in wheels come as standard, and its exterior features a colour scheme inspired by past World Endurance Championship 919 Hybrid cars from Porsche.

Inside, the cabin gets a black leather interior and carbon trim with some red detailing, and there's a 12 o'clock marking on the steering wheel as a nod to its motorsport inspiration.
