Credit to Jahre : In late 2003, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of its 911 model, Porsche introduced a highly optioned special-edition model limited to 1963 numbered copies, each bearing the anniversary slogan "40 Jahre" representing "40 Fast Years". The "40 Jahre 911" is a normally-aspirated, rear-wheel drive, narrow-body Carrera with myriad of aesthetic and performance enhancements, including the vaunted X51 engine package, GT Silver exterior paint, natural grey full-leather interior, limited-slip differential, shot-blasted and polished 18" Carrera Il lightweight wheels, turbo front bumper with painted air-inlets, aluminium trim rings on the instrument cluster, and M030 suspension. The Engine The 40 Jahre 911 came standard with the 996 X51 engine (type designation M96/03S), which has historical importance and pure engineering at its heart. For two years this was the second most powerful naturally aspirated engine in the range of 911 before market introduction of the 997 Carrera S. Of significance, this engine package provided lubrication upgrades (high-G sump baffles, additional pump and oil lines). The lubrication upgrades alone were significant because 996 cylinder failures almost always involve the overheating and under lubrication of cylinder number 6, and these modifications helped to mitigate the seizures. The M96/01S (precursor to M96/03S) engine was the sister model to the GT3 (M96/76) during development. Porsche Motorsport Division in parallel developed the narrow body C2 with C4 strengthened front chassis/body structure, track suspension and roll cage and even the aerodynamic Cup AeroKit (note: it's not even officially called the GT3 kit), but with different engines. The GT3 3.6 (M96/76) and X51 PowerKit 3.4. M96/01S engines were both developed together, in case what became the actual GT3 3.6 (GT1 derived block) failed racing regulations and/or reliability requirements for a successful homologation (according to the book "Porsche 996 The Essential Companion: Supreme Porsche" by Adrian Streather).
