My Porsche 964 Limited Edition

In march 1993 Porsche launched a Limited Edition 911, celebrating 30 years model 911. This anniversary or 'Jubiläums-modell' was technically based on a Porsche 964 Carrera4 (4-wheel drive) coupe (M-Code M96). Body-wise it was equipped with a wide Turbo-body...it's best feature as far as I am concerned. The Turbo whale-tail spoiler was left off, keeping the original 911-shape in it's purest form. In total 911 numbered cars were produced globally. Most cars feature the exclusive (Jubi-only) special 'Viola metallic' -paint, while some cars were sprayed in PolarSilber or Amethyst. There are strong indications that, on special customers order, some of these Limited Edition Models were finished in other colours. All cars were produced to the specifications of the ROW-Market (Rest of the World). The selling-price in Germany for the basic car was: 145.900,- DM (Source: Porsche Preisliste Modelljahr 1994 - 01.08.1993, WVK 140 411)

It goes around that there were also an additional number of 964 Turbo Look Coupe (Wide-Body-Coupe or 'Werks Turbo-Look/WTL) produced in 1993/1994, which were not specified according to the above mentioned M-096 specification-code, and which were not part of the Limited Edition of 911 pieces. Figures, specifications and countries of delivery of these additional 964 Turbo Look Coupes are still discussed among specialists.
 

How to recognise an original Anniversary?

First of all the original Anniversary is basically and in most of it's parts a 911 / 964 Carrera4. That means that this Porsche is a four-wheel drive. No exception of this specification is known.

The original Anniversary is fitted with the wide-body-shell of the 964 Turbo. Therefore the wider suspension-arms of the Turbo had to be fitted in. Brake system and suspension including anti-role bars are a compilation of serial and special parts. This was necessary because the Special Model was not as fast as the Turbo, but it was heavier then the C4 and had different weight-distribution then both versions.

The model was not fitted with the drilled brake-discs of the Turbo, nor with the huge Turbo-Rear-Spoiler, but with the smaller and automatically operated one of the regular Carrera 2/4.

Wheels are composed of: 7 und 9 J x 17 (both ET 55) and 205/50 ZR 17 und 255/40 ZR 17 on alloy-rims (Cup I-Design).

Serial Equipment covers: Full leather seats with integrated heat restraint, electrically operated windows and rear mirrors, two airbags, full leather treatment and coloured central instruments in "Rubicon-grey" colour if the interior-colour was Rubicon-Grey as well in the car.

Optional Equipment: Radio/Tape and Radio/CD/Changer by Blaupunkt, automatic full climate control, on-board computer, electrically operated sunroof, sport-seats, in car telephone point, 92 litre fuel tank and many more.

Special insignia: A special alloy-tag is plugged into the gear lever and the backside of the rear seats show the embroided letters: "911". On the rear hat rack a leather covered block carries two metal tags. One shows the limitation number of the particular car and the other one is readable from the drivers-mirror telling the letters "30 Jahre 911" in mirror writing. The engine cover is mounted with an additional application displaying the underlined letters of "911" once more at the car.
