Porsche has pushed the new 911 firmly into the 21st century, but has not forgotten its heritage. That's a bit of an understatement, since the Stuttgart carmaker relies heavily on its classic appeal, never missing an opportunity to sell us a nostalgic special edition.
The 50th anniversary of the iconic 911 is a huge opportunity for them to attract buyers, and they will surely do so with the 50th Anniversary Special Edition. Based on the 911 Carrera S, this has a few classic touches, like wider hips and a special alloys and chrome trim. However, power remains the sale 400 hp for the flat-six 3.8-liter engine.
Porsche didn't tell us how many of the 1,963 examples to be produced will be headed to the US, but it did reveal that prices will start at $124,100, not including a $950 destination charge. That's a whole lot more than the $98,900 of the standard Carrera S.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
