not sure if i read it here or not, but i remember reading most 1998 carrera models (of what was produced) were the balance of parts porsche had left over from 1997, which explains why productions numbers are so low. well, at least the public version. lol
can someone confirm or deny?

This model overlap has continued to this day.

Any idea on C2S's and C4S production worldwide in 1998? The reason I ask is there are implications here locally of cheaper licensing if models are really low volume, typically less than 1500 produced worldwide of a particular model.

Somewhere in the deep dark recesses of the RL computer banks there is verification. Only Adrian Streather knows for sure.
(Had that '97 cab Garage Queen out a couple of times over the last few days in glorious Rocky Mountain autumn weather. Now I remember...)

In BC Canada it can be under 1500 produced for that model year and it can be lowered up to 1" (2.5cm)
I looked into it for my C4S but more than 1500 were produced in 97 by my research. For collector status I will need to wait until it is 25 yrs old.

- 1997 993TT made worldwide - 1468
- 1997 993TT made worldwide with the X50 option - 370
- 1997 993TT S's worldwide made - 182
Since ICBC would group the X50 builds in with the standard product, my world-wide production count would be 1838, which is above 1500, so my car does not qualify. I was going to argue that the X50 package is a different model, but I would really be out on a limb there.
I have never seen world wide production numbers for any 98's 993C2S's for instance - one of the guys up here was trying to get collector status for his 98 C2S but could not confirm the numbers from a reliable source.
Cheers,
Mike

Thanks! yes, i was mistaken it is a 1997 and not 1998 - i'm new to the porsche community. I did find a 1997 turbo coupe with 50k miles going for $80k from a family friend which does seem like a good deal i'd like to jump in but just wanted to check in with others to see if that is reasonable.
