It looks like a schuco.

The water pumpers are definitely more voluminous, but to be fair, that 997 is an S widebody.

I second the camera angle problem as well-
We need a second shot with the cars flipped in their
position- 993 first and 997 in the distance.....

But yes; classic and proper and not "hopped up"

I compare it to expensive wine, it just gets better. I feel that the beauty of the legendary 993 is that you actually slip it on sort of speak...just like a tailored suit. Not like the down to your a$$, low wearing hanging jeans. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

"I'd like to make her look a little more attractive, how far can you pull back?"

"How do you feel about Cleveland?"

+1...can't compare NB to WB. Doesn't look "old", and is just as sexy.

Well, in the 997, the wider body comes with the AWD, not necessarily the S. Thus, Carrera 2 and 2S are narrow, Carrera 4 and 4S are wide.

It looks like the 997 pictured is a 4S, thus it is a widebody as you said, but just for a different reason.

Off thread, but.....

Why isn't a C2S a widebody anymore?

I had a friend years ago ask me what's the difference between 911, a Carerra, 930, a Targa and a 993. Told him there are differences, but they were all 911s. It can be confusing to new folks because Porsche puts some many different emblems on 911s.
