Porsche 996 Carrera "40 Years of 911" special model The Porsche 911 special model "40 Years of 911", limited to just 1,963 units, marked a high point in the "996" series. It is particularly sporty and has very high-quality features. The basis of the special model is the 911 Carrera with rear-wheel drive. The 911 anniversary model was only available in GT silver metallic – a color that had previously been reserved for the 612 hp high-performance sports car Carrera GT. The optical identifying feature is the cooling air openings in the front, which were taken from the 911 Turbo. The side air intake grilles (front) are painted in the vehicle color. Sill panels on the left and right as well as shot-blasted 18-inch Carrera wheels and high-gloss polished tailpipes ensure an expressive look down to the last detail. The power of the 3.6-liter boxer engine is 345 hp (254 kW).
