Porsche's 911, the world's most successful sports car with over 820,000 units built since 1963, is celebrating half a century on the market.
Widely known as "the benchmark of all sports car", the Porsche 911 can now look back on a 50 year long tradition, and the German automaker has announced a wide variety of anniversary events for 2013.
The celebration will officially debut with the "Retro Classics" automobile show in Stuttgart, and it will be followed by a special Porsche Museum exhibit from 7 to 10 March. But the most exciting event the Germans are planning is sending an authentic 1967 Porsche 911 on a world tour, including five continents and prestigious shows, like the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance or the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
The Porsche Museum will be officially celebrating "50 Years of the Porsche 911" from June 4 to September 29 with an exhibit featuring the history and development of their iconic sports car.
"For five decades, the 911 has been the heart of the Porsche brand. Today, it is considered the quintessential sports car, the benchmark for all others. The 911 is also the central point of reference for all other Porsche series," said the Stuttgart-based manufacturer.
