Hope it'll be of some use.

PS : Feel free to ask for translation, although..

[rhudeboye]

Le type de moteur pour les coupés, cabriolet et CS = M44/43 - Turbo S = M44/60
Le types de boite de vitesse pour les coupés, cabriolet et CS = G44/00 - Turbo S = G44/01
Seulement 3 modèles de turbo S ont été produit en 1994 (96PS896061-63).
RoW = Reste du monde (hors Amérique du Nord)

Is my translation is accurate?

The type of motor put in the coupés are better then the cabriolets & match the CS = M44/43 - Turbo S = M44/60
The type of Chassis put in the coupés are stiffer then the cabriolets & match the CS = G44/00 - Turbo S = G44/01
Coupes are better stronger and faster. The fastest coupes were produced in 1994 (96PS896061-63).
RoW = assembled from spare parts (hors Amérique du Nord)

I can't speak to the Row figures but the USA/Canada figures are wrong. They are the same incorrect numbers you see in Morgan's book.

[flash]

technically they aren't wrong, they just also show the in house numbers - there is a difference between production numbers and sales numbers - by the way, some of those chassis numbers have shown up, they just weren't sold as complete cars

[jeff968]

That list has some VINs that are missing (were produced, were sold) as well as many VINs that were never produced (sold).

[laurentdebrue]

Porsche reserved the first 60 or something VIN each year...

Translation is :

Engine type for Coupé's, Cab's & CS = M44/43 - Engine type for Turbo S = M44/60
Gearbox type for Coupé's, Cab's & CS = G44/00 - Gearbox type for Turbo S = G44/01
Only 3 Turbo S produced in 1994
RoW = Rest of World (outside North America)

Where's the part that says Polar Silver is fastest?

[laurentdebrue]

Rhudeboy,

Just got it now ! Excellent translation
Except for one thing : best coupé's were produced in 1992 !

[jeff968]

"Porsche reserved the first 60 or something VIN each year..."

Exactly! And the list has a few missing as well.

[flash]

yup - they made a bunch of the first 60, but used them mostly for in house testing and such - some ended up on race tracks later on (we've seen a couple over the years), but were not ever sold as cars

so, the production numbers are likely fairly accurate - they just aren't sales numbers - two entirely different things though

[Fox944]

the Turbo S numbers as usual, are not accurate.
