FWIW, I just spent several years in the Netherlands and the naming is not consistent. The most common is "negen elf" or "nine-eleven". My German friends generally went with the 9-1-1 form (although most of THEM drove Mercedes! :>
....
After 09/11/01, I generally prefer just to say "Carrera" or "9-9-3", and avoid the confusion...

Either way, 9-11 or 9-1-1, they are great cars and we all love them.
BTW, I did not mention which UK mag had the article/s on the numbering.
