Hi Loren. The Anniversary model appears to sit a little lower in the front than a standard Carrera. How does the suspension of the Anniversary model differ from the standard Carrera? Does the Anniversary car come with the ROW 030 suspension?

Not exactly...

The US 40th anniversary car gets special springs and shocks for the rear only (spring color code grey/grey) that are different than the RoW M030. As a matter of fact the RoW version of the 40th anniversary car gets yet a different set of rear springs and shocks (spring color code green/green). I think the shocks are just a little stiffer. The spring and "official" ride heights have not yet been published in the tech manuals.

Then could the ride height appearance come from a stiffer setup in the rear, possibly making the rear height just a little higher and, in doing so, giving the car a more "nose down" appearance?

Whatever they did, it looks good.

Ouch, I thought that "sports" suspension meant the M030 option! I don't quite understand why Porsche chose to change the rear suspension, leaving the front suspension alone. Nonetheless, I love the way my 40th Anniversary 911 handles versus my previous 2003 M3.

I would love to know where I can get more detailed information on this model.

Just to clarify... I did not say the front was not an M030 variety. I said the rear is different from any other rear spring/shock configuration.

quote from the Porsche UK official website:

"The extra, mechanical, rear differential lock, standard in the anniversary model, ensures improved rear wheel drive traction and thus improved acceleration potential."

Maybe that's the reason for the different set-up at the rear axel!?!

cheers,

Tony
