Porsche 996

3.6 Coupé Carrera 40 Jahre

This Porsche 996 40 Jahre Anniversary Edition is a limited-production model launched in 2003 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the iconic Porsche 911. Here’s what makes it special:
Key Features:

• Limited Production: Only 1,963 units were produced worldwide, a nod to the 911’s original launch year.
• Exclusive Styling:It features the wider front bumper from the 996 Turbo.
• Unique GT Silver Metallic paint, a color initially exclusive to the Carrera GT supercar.
• Polished 18-inch Carrera wheels.
• High-gloss polished exhaust tailpipes.
• “40 Jahre 911” badging on the rear.
• Enhanced Performance:It came standard with the X51 Powerkit, boosting the 3.6-liter flat-six engine’s output to 345 horsepower (254 kW), which was even more than the standard 997 Carrera that followed.
• Sport exhaust system (often dealer-installed).
• Sport suspension lowered by 10mm.
• Luxurious Interior:Full leather interior in Natural Grey.
• Sports seats.
• “40 Jahre 911” lettering on the door sills and headrests.
• Aluminum-look trim.

• Desirable Options: Many came equipped with options like Porsche Communication Management (PCM), Bose sound system, and a sunroof.

In summary, the 996 40 Jahre Anniversary Edition is considered a desirable and collectible 911 due to its:

• Rarity: Limited production numbers.
• Unique Aesthetics: Distinct color, Turbo-style front, and special badging.
• Improved Performance: Standard Powerkit and sportier handling.
• Luxurious Touches: Upgraded interior materials and exclusive details.
