What month does the assembly like switch years?
Just wondering if anyone knows what month the Porsche assembly line shuts down for the yearly changeover? My 2004 was built in 5-04, this must be near the end of the run? My recently purchased 2004 says “Turbo S” on the lid and I assume the previous owner added it. It is an X50 with PCCB so it looks like a real S.

Common is that August is the old model year and September is following year. There are exceptions though, as for introduction runs for car shows and unveiling.

According to my Porsche 996 Essential Companion Book, July is the last run..
They do mention that a S model was introduced in 2004?

My '04 TT Cab was built in June '03. This is 3 weeks before Porsche even officially announced the cab for the TT.
