HEAD & Porsche: Two Titans Of Speed Celebrate 50 Years of the 911 Turbo

COLLABORATE TO ACCELERATE – together we are even faster: HEAD and Porsche have been committed to this tagline for a number of years. Once again, HEAD and Porsche pool their industry-leading technical know-how to construct three exclusive skis with the highest performance. And in addition, there is a  collection of high-end sportswear and accessories influenced by the multifaceted history of the legendary 911 Turbo sports car.

Technical excellence, uncompromising performance, and a passion for speed – HEAD and Porsche share the same DNA. That is why the two high-performance brands continue to expand their successful cooperation and bring a real icon to life in 2024/25: the 911 Turbo sports car gets a unique, handmade, limited-edition ski collection for its 50th birthday.

Three High-Octane Ski Models in Tartan

Since its debut, the 911 Turbo has stood out with its unique design and exceptional performance. Features that HEAD and Porsche made the foundation of their ski collection in recognition of five decades of 911 Turbo and eight generations of Porsche 911. They have created three high-octane ski models, where the design was inspired by the tartan pattern of the first Turbo generation. The timeless design of the silver PORSCHE | HEAD 8 Series is based on the very first Turbo from 1974. This Porsche was built exclusively for Ferdinand Porsche’s daughter Louise Piëch as a one-off for her 70th birthday on the 29th of August. Its counterpart, the black PORSCHE | HEAD 7 Series with design elements in light green, is inspired by the first Turbo produced in series, and its world début in Paris on October 3, 1974. The ski collection is complemented by the PORSCHE | HEAD W Series for women, featuring the iconic tartan pattern  in black, blue and red.

An Overview of the PORSCHE | HEAD Collection 2024/25:

Three ski models are being launched: the racing inspired 7 Series, the versatile all-mountain 8 Series, and the athletic women’s W series.
