I was very keen in getting the Turbo 50 Years hoping it would have a whale tail or some unique exterior design that would be timeless.
seeing the photos in configurator of Arctic Grey build. surprisingly look wise it is very similar to my current build with different wheels and no sport design package! but mine has red interior with red & blue tartan. mine is a turbo and the limited one is a Turbo S

A sticker package.

Cool.

Especially if you have ~35K to burn in your pocket.

A little underwelming in my opinion.

It will find buyers on the account of the limited edition and the "last of the line" mantra but the impression is Porsche pulled its punches with this one as not to create conflict with past products (SC) and future 992.2 turbo that will likely be very interesting with a wider variety.

Porsche is in the business of selling new cars every single quarter and has to be carefull not to give the customers all they want in a single product ... so as to have them coming back for more ...

Yes, very underwelming for me. The 991 exclusive was much more interesting.

Hugely underwhelming.
Should have been silver over red and blue tartan interior, rwd and manual, with fuchs-ish wheels.
Just like the ORIGINAL car but a modern interpretation.

@silversurfer6
You are 2/2 on the 992.2 GTS and the 50 Jahre Edition. Have no doubts the 992.2 Turbo Manual RWD would be a thing.

What the sht, Porsche. This is all the think tank could come up with? Decals and olive tartan. Blatant money grab.

Extremely underwhelming car. Interior package and decal set, wheels re-used from the sport classic, no special colour (bringing back the recently discontinued aventurine green doesn't count). Was really hoping to see unique wheels and a modern whale tail or tea tray spoiler, not to mention a little bump in power to send the 992.1 out. Not that I'd be in the market anyway, but certainly and weak effort compared to the S/T or sport classic.

All of Porsche’s line up is underwhelming minus a few groundbreaking things that they milk so well by trickling them down to many generations.

Disappointing. I'll wait for the 992 Turbo Manual. And if it comes with the brown/gold heritage interior of the Sports Classic even better.
