The C4S coupe is a 996?

Bingo!
I thought it was funny that a brochure describing the 2006 cars had a 996 in it.

That's because that brochure is from 05. They did not offer a C4S in 05 in 997 Chassis.

But they offered a C4S Cab in 997 Chasis?
I would think the Cab would have come out either at the same time or after the coupe.

I don't think there were any 997 AWD models for model year 2005.

It's a 2006 model range brochure
In the middle of the same brochure is this:

I don't recall that all the other AWD 997's were released prior to the 997 C4S Coupe, but I could be wrong.
However, there was no 2005 996 C4S.
PCNA simply goofed and put the wrong photo in the brochure. PCNA is notorious for confusing marketing materials both in print and on their website.

The truth is: The 996 C4S is soooo COOL that it's included just for reference/comparison.
Like a Hall of Fame model, you know....
