| The swan song of the 996 Porsche 911 was the "40 Jahre 911", designed to commemorate the car's 40th anniversary. Although it was a rear-drive, naturally aspirated Carrera, it shared the widebody look of the all-wheel drive and turbo cars, and inspired legions of badge concious buyers to check the option box the the "911″ badge, rather than suffer the indignity of having "Carrera" without an accompanying "S".
Now that the 911 is 50 years old, Porsche is introducing…you guessed it, the 50 Jahre 911, officially dubbed the "Porsche 911 50 Years Edition." It follows the same rear-drive-widebody formula, and there are retro touches abound. An old-school 911 badge, faux-Fuchs wheels and tartan seat fabric have all been deployed. Sadly, manual steering was decided to be too retro. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com | |||
