Anyone seen the video featuring the 63 911 matched with the 911-50? It is really good and the car is absolutely outstanding. 430 horses and about 125K LIST FOR STARTERS. I caught the video on my weekly newsletter from my regional PCA club. Check it out. Only 1963 will be produced for obvious reasons.

Another victory for the Porsche marketing department ![thumbup](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/thumbup.gif)
I saw pics of the car; it comes with 20" Fuchs, some chrome detail work on the front intake fins and rear engine lid, different badging and interior bits such as houndstooth seats.
More hat than cattle, but still, it's one of the nicer 991s.
Is it worth the extra price for these little details? Hmm who knows...

Can't say I'm a fan, especially from the rear. The clothe inserts in the seats look a little naff too. Less said about the 'Fuchs' homage rims the better..... hmmm

Nice, then again it is a 911, what's not to like. It took a while but the newest rear end on the newest 911 looks really good - took them a while to get it right.

The new 911-50 is a substitute for those who like the 911 tradition but dare not risk buying a decades old car. But, the truth is there is no substitute. Even Porsche said so.
Only air-cooled 911s are real 911s. There is no substitute.

It's pretty clear the Cayman/Boxster is Porsche's answer to the sports car segment that the old 911s used to inhabit. The modern 911 is their luxury grand tourer.
The modern 911 (991) makes no bones that it's not even the same philosophy that the old air-cooled 911s used to be, no matter how videos they made with them together having similar design cues.
The 991 is a great car. A great luxury GT. Sports car? No. Sporty car? Sure why not. Anything like an old air-cooled 911? Kinda sorta maybe, but mostly very very different. it's also so much larger than the old 911 in that video that the 991 looks like a 911 in the first stage of turning into The Hulk in comparison.
