• “40 Jahre 911” badging on the rear.
• Enhanced Performance:It came standard with the X51 Powerkit, boosting the 3.6-liter flat-six engine’s output to 345 horsepower (254 kW), which was even more than the standard 997 Carrera that followed.
• Sport exhaust system (often dealer-installed).
• Sport suspension lowered by 10mm.
• Luxurious Interior:Full leather interior in Natural Grey.
• Sports seats.
• “40 Jahre 911” lettering on the door sills and headrests.

In summary, the 996 40 Jahre Anniversary Edition is considered a desirable and collectible 911 due to its:

• Rarity: Limited production numbers.
• Unique Aesthetics: Distinct color, Turbo-style front, and special badging.
