Built in only 1,963 units, the Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition was introduced to celebrate half a century since the iconic 911 was launched. Gifted with “styling touches reminiscent of the original 911”, like chrome trim and unique Fuchs-inspired alloy wheels, the sportscar can be had in only two exterior colors - Graphite Grey and Geyser Grey.
Showcased at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show earlier this year, the vehicle is already on sale in the United Kingdom (£92,257) and the United States ($124,000), the 911 50 Years version is probably quite attractive for customers looking for a limited edition model, although we think it’s way to expensive compared to the standard Carrera S.

However, the guys over at Porsche are convinced that the 50 Years edition is worth the effort and have released a video in which company design manager Tony Hatter talks about the sportscar’s styling. Grab a hammer and your piggy bank before watching it, you might want to charge to the nearest Porsche dealership afterwards. Yes, it’s not even funny...
