This is in fact a 911 [993] Turbo

This can't be a turbo because A) Clarkson would've mentioned it and B) He says it's RWD whereas Turbos are 4WD aren't they? So this is probably a Carrera 2 and (judging by the press plate) a 1997 model.

It's a 1997 Carrera S then.

Turbo bodyshell - Turbo - 4wheel drive.

EDIT: But no rear wing? Back to the drawing board then.

Let's wait for plate decoding.

DVLA says it's a yellow 2009 Porsche.

Obviously Porsche UK still hold the plate.

EDIT: Some guy on Porsche forum UK says they also put that personalised plate on a Turbo.

It's been a Porsche UK press car plate for magazine road test cars for 30? years - possibly back to the first 911 turbo. Reappears on a new car every 2-3 years.

Here it is on a 2003 car: /vehicle_36176-Porsche-911-Turbo-996-2003.html

Similarly I'm doing Spooks series 5 and the numberplate on one of the cars comes back to a 2009 Infinity FX50S rather than a Nissan Patrol as Nissan held on to the plate.

It's not the 94, it's like a 95 or 97, but not a 94. Bad boys porsche was a 94'.

It's no Turbo, because it doesn't have a mounted rear wing. And it's no Carrera 4S, because JC said it's got RWD.

So it is a 993 Carrera S!
