Porsche "911"

[mjdavis]

I was in New Jersey the other day, and saw a Porsche model that I couldn't identify. It said "911" on the rear, and looked like it had Cayman fog lights (lights were inside of the side nose intakes). Didn't get a great look at it, so I'm not even sure if it's a 996 or 997 (didn't see the front long enough to notice the headlights or side mirrors - the usual 997 clues for me).

Anyone out there know what this model is called? I thought it looked a bit nicer than the "usual" 911 for some reason, not sure why. Of course, about a mile down the road I saw a 997 Turbo, which sort of overshadowed it's sibling. Then driving into NYC later in the day I saw a Ferrari 599 on 11th Ave, which overshadowed them both. Quite a day!

The car you probably saw was a 996 "Anniversary" edition to celebrate 40(?) years of the 911 build.

They are a stock Carrera 2 with the turbo front end, different wheels and a special silver colour

got 911 written on the bootlid with "anniversary" underneath

That looks like the one. Thanks for the response.

There's one for sale at www.cridfords.co.uk

The wheels were part of the spec but are a bit 'blingy' in my opinion , the bhp is up , quoted at 345 ..
