Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition

In 2013, Porsche unveiled a limited edition model to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Porsche 911. Just like the original 911, the Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition is a coupe with a flat-six engine and rear wheel drive.

Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition

The Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition is based on the 991-generation Porsche 911 Carrera S model, but features the wide body, which is typically reserved for the all-wheel drive models. This limited edition Carrera S provides 400 hp (294 kW). It can sprint from zero to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 300 km/h. With the PDK transmission the sprint takes 4.3 seconds and the top speed is 298 km/h. The standard sport exhaust system outputs a fitting emotional sound.

Special 20-inch wheels are a visual tribute to the legendary Fuchs wheels and are finished in matte black paint with machine-polished centres. Chrome trim strips on the front air inlets, the fins of the engine compartment grille and the panel between the rear lights emphasise the distinctive appearance of this limited edition model.

Special Colour Options

Two unique colours were available for the Anniversary model, a darker graphite grey and a lighter geyser grey metallic. Special details of the car include a “911 50” badge on the rear lid, embroidery on the headrest and a logo on the tachometer and the aluminium door sill plates. The same marking can also be found on the cup holder panel together with the limited edition number of the individual vehicle. Other exterior characteristics of the special model are high-gloss window frames and sport design exterior mirrors on the doors panels.

There are some cool tributes to the original 911 in the interior as well. These include the green labelling on the instruments with white pointer needles. Another special feature is the centre panels of the leather seats. They are designed with a fabric pattern reminiscent of the “Pepita” tartan design from the 1960s. The full-leather interior is designed in agate grey or black with decorative stitching, some in contrasting colour. The gear shift or selector lever, which matches the decorative panels on the dashboard, doors and centre console in brushed aluminium, comes from the Porsche Exclusive program

The special edition was limited to 1963 cars. 1963 also happens to be the year the original 911 was unveiled.
