    The joke is that it’s a 911 but I’m not a car guy and Porsche has a complicated naming/numbering system for 911 versions.

    Ninja edit. On the other hand - maybe I was wrong and it’s simply a 911 Carrera.

        I googled 997.

        The Porsche 997 is the sixth generation of the Porsche 911 sports car.

            And the current generation is the 992, but they can’t call the next generation the 993 because that was fourth generation (which ended in 1998)! I thought Germans were supposed to be OCD about orderly numbering sequences.

              German car companies are knowing for being trash at naming, and we’re talking about Porsche here, the same people behind the Porsche Taycan Turbo s, yk the Taycan the fully electric car.

                Turbo means it goes fast, how is this confusing?

              Getting the tank problem named after you is a hard one to recover from

        Isn’t the one on the picture a 996? Or do they look so similar from behind?
