Welcome to part three of 911&PW's Porsche 911 at 50 celebrations. We've reached the '80s, the decade of conspicuous consumption and the decade that embraced the 911 like no other. We look at what that meant for Porsche's image and celebrate some of the great 911's of the era by bringing together the space-age 959, the flat-nose 930 Turbo, the Speedster and, of course, the 964.
