Although it may not quite be Germany’s best-known racetrack, the Hockenheimring remains one of the world’s great motorsport venues and this year it’s celebrating its 90th anniversary. Porsche has decided to celebrate with a special edition.
The Porsche Taycan GTS Hockenheimring Edition not only celebrates the history of the famed track, it is also the automaker’s very first special edition based on an electric vehicle, potentially making this quite the collector’s item. Porsche says that the idea behind the car was to combine the track’s mottos of “mobile evolution” and “traditional elegance.”
The highlights are, of course, special badges that feature a map of the track and the number 90, as well as Stone Grey paint from the custom color program that is balanced against Bronzite accents. That color extends to the spokes of the 21-inch Mission E Design wheels, while the rim edge is finished in Stone Grey.

The interior, meanwhile, is customized with black leather that is contrasted by Island Green decorative stitching. Decorative trim, meanwhile, comes in Paldao open-pore wood to give this Taycan a classic flair. The selector lever, the cup holders, and the air vents are finished in Bronzite, to match the exterior. The GT multifunction steering wheel also gets Bronzite trim, while the 12-o’clock marking is finished in Island Green.
“We congratulate the legendary racetrack on a rich, 90-year history,” said Alexander Pollich, head of Porsche Deutschland. “With this exclusive special edition, we are not only delighting fans of our all-electric sports car, but also highlighting our attachment to the Hockenheimring.”
In addition to the unique design touches, owners of the vehicle will be given special perks at the track. With their special edition key, owners can drive straight to the Porsche Experience Center Hockenheimring, which is located at the heart of the track. It also comes with two years of free charging at the track, and owners will be given preferential parking at Porsche’s monthly gatherings for enthusiasts.
As you might expect, given those perks, the Porsche Taycan GTS Hockenheimring Edition will only be available in Germany and other select European markets, presumably those within driving distance of the track.
