Arrow Who Thinks Their 997 is a Unicorn (1 of 1)??

Hey everyone,

I was just sitting here contemplating the idea that my car could in fact be a one off build setup!

I am not sure whether or not it is, but I do think that it is at least limited. With my modifications like OEM X51 setup, I am almost sure it would be, but since it’s not on the window sticker, it doesn’t count! Obviously if that were the case there would be tons of so called unicorns running around.

Anyways, I am well aware that Arctic Silver is very common and that when the 997 came out, they liked to pair it with Cocoa as per the Sales Brochure at the time. What I do find interesting, however, is that my car was built with some rare or "Exclusive Options" such as –

- PCCB’s, Sport Shifter, Sport Wheel in Leather, A/B Pillars in Leather and the Roof Liner in Leather plus the Instrument Surround in leather. Below I have added my build sheet. Do you guys think there’s a chance that my build has a twin somewhere? If so, does anyone know of the car? That would be crazy to find…

My Porsche was built with the following specs:

BASE Carrera S Coupe $81,400
X1 Arctic Silver Metallic 825.00
X1 Arctic Silver Metallic Top 0.00
RA Special Leather Cocoa 3,795.00
C02 US Standard Emissions 0.00
342 Heated Front Seats 480.00
680 Bose High End Sound Package 1,390
640 Sport Chrono Package Plus 920.00
M6C Cocoa Floor Mats 115.00
P01L Adaptive Sport Seats Leather Interior 2,695.00
450 Ceramic Composite Brakes – PCCB 8,150.00
670 Navigation for PCM 2,070.00
XCZ Sport Shifter 765.00
460 Sport Steering Wheel Leather 490.00
XMA A/B Pillar/ Roof Liner Leather 1,180.00
XNG Instrument Surround Leather 260.00



Total With Options $104,535.00

DSTCHG Destination Charge 795.00

Total Charges 795.00

Total Order $105,330.00



***Please share your build sheets as well! Let’s see how many Unicorns we have here on the board!

I'm pretty sure mine is, but with all of the permutations of options, there are probably many unicorns out there. Anyone that picked two or three rare options will make it hard for anyone to unintentionally match. Whoever did the build spec on mine ticked a lot of boxes...

Sure they did. Do you know how many silver/black low option cars were made? black/black?

For example, the GTS's are all VERY similar if not the same and the Black Edition is literally 1,911 of the SAME car as a matter of fact

I think I might have the most unique option. My car has the "Aquas" option.

I just went from a Cayman S to this 2010 997 S. Just picked it up last week......from what I am told/researched, sounds pretty rare.
Hopefully I should be able to take some better pictures of it this weekend, but so far, I love it!

I think mine is a quadricorn, even more rare, lol. Porsche gives you a bazillion options so it's no surprised if many are one of a kind. Makes no difference to the world except yourself. You still have a common silver 997 and I have a black one.

I really like the way the original/previous owner spec'd this out. Lapis Blue with aero is probably no unicorn, but pretty rare and I love it.

When I was looking for my car, I was surprised to see how freaking hard it was to find a black on black w/manual ! (In California) It seemed like everything was silver or black w/pdk
