Porsche 911 50 Years Edition stars at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show

The Porsche 911 is 50 years old this year – just in case you missed the memo – and the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show represents the final culmination of the celebrations. The 911 was originally launched at this very event, way back in 1963. At the 2013 Frankfurt IAA, Porsche is paying homage to its home-grown hero with a new 911 50 Years Edition, based on the latest 991-series Carrera S.

Already shown on TV in the UK at the weekend (during the new series of Britain’s Got Talent), the moggie in question – William, apparently – glides effortlessly over the CLA’s slippery shape to a soundtrack playing Rossini’s Duetto buffo di due gatti (which you may not think you know, but you do).
