But when the iconic Porsche Design team wanted to celebrate its 50th anniversary, you could be sure this rendition of the classic Porsche 911 will be anything but a mediocre remake.

If you're one to celebrate classic look with modern design, you'll want to reserve your 2022 911 Edition 50 Years Porsche Design right away as the company will produce only 750 vehicles.

Details of the Porsche Design edition

The limited edition Porsche Design model is based on the 911 Targa 4 GTS with a 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine and eight-speed PDK automatic transmission. It still revs from zero to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds and can top out at 190 mph, per

As you would expect, the true differences appear in the exterior and interior design components. The Porsche Design edition, naturally, will be offered in two colors—factory black and Jet Black Metallic—a nod to the Chronograph 1 timepiece, the first creation of Porsche Design in 1972. "Porsche Design" is printed in racing stripes along the bottoms of the doors.

Platinum accents, such as the Targa bar in the roof and the rims, will serve as contrast to the black.

In another nod to the Chronograph 1, the dashboard clock features a red second hand. The interior also features embossed Porsche Design logo and a representative signature on the center console from F.A. Porsche, grandson of Porsche founder Ferdinand Porsche—designer of the original 911 in the 1960s and founder of Porsche Design.

The 18-way electronically adjustable seats are wrapped in black leather with the company's classic Pepita checkered seat inserts.
