The Porsche 911 (991) 50th Anniversary Edition is a special vehicle that was produced to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the iconic Porsche 911 model. The Porsche 911 was first introduced in 1963 and has undergone an impressive evolution since then. The 991 is the seventh generation of this model and was built from 2011 to 2019. The 50th Anniversary Edition is based on the Carrera S platform and was developed to honor the longstanding tradition and heritage of the original Porsche 911.
The Porsche 911 (991) 50th Anniversary Edition features a 3.8-liter boxer engine that delivers 430 horsepower and reaches a top speed of 186 mph (300 km/h). The vehicle is capable of accelerating from 0 to 62 mph (0 to 100 km/h) in just 4.2 seconds. Special features of the model include the Sport Chrono Package, the active suspension system PASM, and the sports exhaust system. The 50th Anniversary Edition is equipped with unique 20-inch Fuchs wheels that pay homage to the design of the original Fuchs wheels, which historically have been a defining feature of earlier Porsche 911 models.
One of the special design elements of the 50th Anniversary Edition is the two-tone metallic paint in Graphite Grey and Black. The interior features classic elements such as Houndstooth fabric seats, a leather dashboard, and special 50th Anniversary emblems. These design elements are not only aesthetically pleasing but also harken back to the classic design of the original Porsche 911. It was designer Michael Mauer who crafted this anniversary edition, allowing the vehicle to bridge the gap between tradition and modernity.
