Default Options / 2014 50th anniversary

Looks like you can get a 3.8 / 7 speed manual / 430 HP / Wider rear and some cool retro seats.. Wonder where the price point will fall?

Seems like a special C2S except wider...

Houndstooth was cool in the 60's and 70's, but I wouldn't want it in a new Porsche

I like it, very sharp. Difficult to blend some of the classic details with the new.

I'd much rather have 997 SC than this, although it is quite a bit more expensive.

I agree with Porsche having too many 911 models but you certainly can't expect them to allow a 50 year anniversary to come and go without a model to celebrate the achievement of producing it for so long. Corvette probably did it as well as Mustang?
