Default Dimensions 993TT vs. 996TT ??

On first glance the 993TT appears to be a fair bit smaller. Is this really the case? Does anyone have lenght, width, height and weight comparisons for the 2 cars?

ps. Posted this in the 996TT forum as well so my apologies if you've seen this twice.

go to a dealer or repair shop. you will find na 993 and 996 to compare same size as tts. should be easy to find.
btw the 996 needs to be wider to accomadate all that water stuff!

That's not as much difference as I thought... especially in the width...

I am with spartan. the numbers lie !!
Park the 2 side by side, and the 996TT dwarfs the 993TT [ even more obvious in the carrera ]

I'm with you in that it looks smaller than the #s suggest.

Would be curious to see if anyone else has different dimensions.

I think the 996/7 have significantly wider passenger cells which gives the perception of a much bigger car.

993 = le femme 36-26-38
996 = le femme 37-37-39

Almost the same maximum width, but, you get the picture ??

When you get a minute please measure the width of the passenger compartment from the tops of the door trim panels across the car. Curious to see the difference.

PS. Nice toy collection!

More passenger leg room in the 996. Wife is constantly complaining about the 993 TT versus the 996.
