Porsche 911 50 Years Edition revealed

Porsche is celebrating 50 years of its 911 with a special edition version.

Limited to 1963 units worldwide — 1963 being the year in which the 911 was born — the 50 Years Edition is based on the 395bhp 911 Carrera S.

Mechanical tweaks include a wider body that’s usually reserved for Carrera 4 models, dynamic cornering lights, a specially tuned PASM suspension system and a sports exhaust.

With the seven-speed manual transmission the 911 50 Years Edition can dispatch the 0-100kph sprint in 4.5sec and hit 300kph.

In dual-clutch automatic 'PDK' form, it can achieve 0-100kph in a quicker 4.3sec but reach a slightly slower 297kph.
