Aside from powertrain enhancements and tweaks, there are also exterior changes for the 50th Anniversary 911 Porsche. The low riding wide model sits on 20-inch Fuch wheels, a brand that Porsche has used since the 1960s. The number 50 is strategically placed throughout the car to commemorate the milestone. To add a sense of history, 60s style Pepita fabric coats the seats while an aluminum brushed center console sets it off. Chrome strips and fins finish off the overall exterior effects. The 911 50th Anniversary car will only be offered in grey or light grey, no 50 Shades here. It will be available this September, with prices starting at $124,100 USD.
