I heard that the world will end when we get to 999.
...that or they're turn the number upsidedown to 666 and start over again.

Not only 911s get a 9xx designation... the Boxster generations are 986 and 987, there are the 956 and 962 race cars, the Cayenne is the 955, etc. etc.

Don't forget, these are Porsche internal project designations. They are not externally marketed. We the enthusiast community do that, but not Porsche, so there really is no copyright issue.

Why would they jump from 964 to 993, then skip 994 and 995 and go to 996, and then 997?
