Vehicle Description
If you haven't owned Porsche's 50th edition 911, here is your
chance for one of our favorite late model Porsches produced thus
far. This low mile example in elegant Geyser Grey has had only 2
owners, both happen to be long time clients and friends of ours.
Outfitted appropriately with no sunroof and the 7-speed manual
transmission.
Nowadays, Porsche seems to be feeding all 918 owners and VIP
clients plenty of new toys and getting away from the exclusivity in
the 991 models. Indeed, Porsche is cranking out some special late
model GT and RS 911s, but rarely knocking it out of the park on
more affordable 911s as they did with the 50th. Porsche Ag. did a
tremendous job designing and building these 50th anniversary
models, which are essentially the first "limited production" 911s
on the 991 chassis. Totaling 1,963 for the world, a chosen number
to remind enthusiasts of the year Porsche introduced the 911 as the
901. Fast forward 50 years, and you have a 911 with 430 HP which
will race to 60 mph in just over 4 seconds and thoughtfully retains
elements from previous years. You can almost imagine the engineers
at Weissach going through past decades and deciding on unmistakable
wheels reminding Porsche loyalists of the Fuchs wheels standard on
911s for years. The "pepita" fabric or the iconic "hounds tooth"
upholstery pattern seat inserts, or the dash instruments in green
with white needles recreating the look of the first 911s. Then find
a rare optioned example with no sunroof and manual transmission,
park it alongside a 901 and you see two resembling 911s separated
by 50 years. Five decades of brilliance behind this iconic sports
car, the 911 leading the way for Porsche with exhilarating drives
in the most elegant fashion.
