Love the interior. It would have been cool if they customized it just a bit more--maybe chrome metal grilles in the front fascia and rear grille areas, retro badging, etc.

Funny how it has taken Porsche 50 years to build a million 911s, compared to other cars. Ford built its millionth Mustang just one year into Mustang production. Henry Ford built his millionth Model T after only 7 years of production and built over 15 million of them in less than 20 years.

Then again, if Porsche sold 911s for $850, they could sell a ton of them, too.

Love the interior and the Irish green! The green numbers on the dash is a very nice touch too.

Truly wonderful choice by Porsche for the overall treatment on this car. If it was for sale the ticket would be over the moon for sure.

Looks good, but I don't think the LCD that looks like a Tube TV is going to age well.

OK, if we're putting on our technical hats ...

It technically is 1 of 1 million. But so are all 911's now. Each element of a set is 1 of the set. To refer to its sequence number (the 1 millionth 911) is what makes it special.

I think that's what he means--this car is number 1,000,000 of 1,000,000--at least that's how I took it.

The more I look at that interior, the more I like it.

Porsche should do a run of special edition 50th anniversary cars with original colors and that interior (color coordinated, of course). They would sell like hotcakes.

Too bad this beauty is going to a museum to sit and do nothing all its life. But, there can only be one!

I didn't like the steering wheel - at first. Now I want one for my car. I wonder how much board room time was spent picking out the options for number 1,000,000?
