Car doesn't look special enough to command that kind of $$ Seats look on the cheap side to me. JMHO

AutoBlog reports a price of $124,100 + $950 destination.

I like it.

I like it.
That price is from the Porsche USA press release +1 on liking it from a visual perspective. I have yet to drive a 991 but for what this edition comes with it checks the right boxes.

I'm glad they're not offering this car in Grand Prix White with black Fuchs and 930 style stone guards, otherwise I might have to buy one.

I dont know. I actually like the wheels and the overall look of the car. Not for $158k, but for $124k, if you're in the market for an S anyway this seems like a pretty interesting alternative.

Wow kinda disappointed. The limited edition is the only reason I was going to sell my 2009 PDK C2S
but thats not enough to make me move. At least some more colors.

If I were to get a 991, this would be the ONE for me!

Another vote from me. It's a stunning 991.

Overall, I think the Porsche 911 Sport Classic, looks way nicer and more exclusive than this.







I cannot +1 this comment enough!

That's a great video - thanks for posting that Gabe.

I recently had a day at the Porsche World Roadshow, and got to drive 4 different 991s. My impression was that the 991 is not head-and-shoulders better than the 997, but it is lovely, and refined and still a blast to drive.

I'm not in love with those Fuchs, but otherwise, I could be quite happy with that 911/50 asking me to come out and play every day.
