Room in the back of later 911's

[Mas]

LO all, not to give anything away at this stage as all options are open at the mo re my next Porsche except I cant have a 2 seater.

So the question is , which varient has the most room in the back ( if any). I have been told that the cab has less room as the seats angle foreward which is fine since I cant stand cabs in any car. Is there a difference between carrera 2 // 993 // 996 etc ? , I could do with knowing for sure.

That is a good question.

My impression between a 993 and 996 is that the 996 has a little more room in terms of leg room and the width of the actual seat (due to the tunnel and side body. Also, I think the seat belt locking mechanism in a 993 can protrude and be a little uncomfortable for the passenger.

I haven't measured any of this but this is my impression from getting my 10 year old to sit in the back of a 993 C2S and a 996 Turbo.

More views would be welcomed.

agreed
996-997 not much difference

you said it Andy!

My kids struggled in the back of the 993 with seats etc, it felt quite small. The 996 appears to have a lot more room and they fit well

Rule of thumb is

993 - Squeeze them in
996 - Comfortable
996 TT - scare them half to death and keep them very very quiet !!!

Best thing is to sell the kids, then buy a GT2RS

Trust me on this, no one would buy them. Very costly to run, very noisy and refuse to sleep in a garage.

I should add on the plus side their hands can get between calipers and inner wheel with a cloth, so they have uses right now.
