Thats amazing about the option 718 , so this 968 was originally a 1993 year type( 1993 wheels , interior ,whole car in fact with a 1993 Vin ) , then was it PCNA that changed the Vin to make it a 1994 year type ? or was it Porsche Germany that decided to hide the actual year type ?
Sounds like fraud , or deception on the actual year type
What about the engine number ? , it would show that it has a 1993 year type engine , because that would not have been changed ( that I can be sure on )
There is no mention of a M 718 on the PET , no wonder , an option that the owner can have a different Vin number to make the appear a year younger ( Yikes )

Interesting fact, there were 718 optioned 911s and 928s as well. It was a difficult time for Porsche sales.

Someone will probably post the answer before I have time to find it but I have the TSB from Porsche which states the date and (if I remember correctly) the engine number at which the improved rods were installed. All '94 and '95 I believe.
I have no proof of this but I believe the stronger rods were in anticipation of producing a consumer version of the turbo car. We have no proof that any of the "weaker" rods ever failed. But then came the Boxster and the 968s death.......
