I'm new to the whole Porsche thing. A recent convert from Corvettes. I've been seeing the term "unicorn" and wonder is this a term referencing a particular type/color Porsche or just hard to find models of any car? Thanks

 

since porsche originally was built in small select batches, unicorn was mostly referred to the rare optioned or unique low production color or a paint to sample car which may be the only color ever ordered. until the rise of the water cooled cars it wasn't unusual to see a certain porsche say a 993 turbo built to 150 units or less. a 959S built was 20 units total with maybe 15? left in the world . my personal favorite unicorn

 

unicorn in porsche 996 turbo parlance = white lol

 

in the next 5 ys unicorn= unmodded!!

 

hah! 100%

 

meh, what fun is that

 

How rare are 996TT without sunroof? I seldom see them!

 

These are unicorns.

 

In order of 996 Unicorn-ness:

Any wild PTS GT2
Anything White
Late model year X50 cars w/o Sunroof

Low mileage and bone stock cars increase at any level

 

Someone had to lol..................

 

^^^ We have a winner! ^^^

 

This

Mod her and thrash that *****, drove mine in the rain today to see how bad Toyo R888s really are in puddles... result not as bad as I heard

 

I really hate my sun roof... at high speed I am scared it will fly off and decap me !

 

thats an easy fix! unicorn.... any 1000 rwhp car that doesn't break more than it runs!

 

If you watch "Crazy Hot Matrix" on You Tube you will understand a Unicorn. You will also fully understand a Unicorn doesn't exist. And if you have not watched it, it will truly put things in perspective that you may never have thought of.
