Porsche 911 50 Years Edition
With the 918 Spyder hybrid dominating proceedings at the Porsche stand, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the story ended there. However, Porsche had another car up its sleeve; in the form of the 50 Years Edition 911. Based on the Carrera 4/4S, the 50 Years Edition gets the wider body of the Carrera 4 models plus the Porsche Active Suspension Management system. Just 1963 cars will be built and each will be powered by a 3.8-litre flat-six engine with 400PS. Top speed will be a respectable 186mph, while it will return 30mpg on the combined cycle.
