Default Special edition 996 Turbo ?

Hello,

First post in the forum for me. Friend of mine is thinking of buying a 996 2001 turbo and he found this kind of badge inside the car. We've been trying google but no luck. Was wondering if someone here knew something about it ?

Looks like the car was owned by someone with an engraving or routing machine.

AFAIK the Turbo never had the Carrera GT monicker applied. This was the name of the sports car Porsche released back in early/mid-2000. (There was IIRC an earlier use of the Carrera GT tag with a 924/?)

The car has some sort of bodykit on it and a roll cage. 4000km on the clock so a good find. I know the Carrera GT but I thought this could be something else than badge tuning.

+1 to what Macster said.
The guy may have had the plaque made up at the trophy shop too.

Badget tuning. I like that.

I have to say I googled AB Tough Art and didn't come up with one hit linking it to any cars Porsche or any other brands.

Got a nice link to an AB workout regime though. Just in time. I need to toughen my abs, at least firm them up. I can't see my feet.
