I saw a 997 wide-body
Yesterday, while visiting a P dealer, I saw a 2006 test car parked there which happened to be passing through. It was a 997 with wide rear fenders. The car was not a turbo. It had all wheel drive. The interior was the same as a regular 997. The VIN indicated a 2006 model. We couldn't tell if it was an 'S' model, but it was probably not; the brake calipers were just black, and the exhaust tips were the same as the non-S 997. The door sills said "Carrera 4". The front bumper was no different than other 997s. The wheels looked like the 5-spoke ones on the Turbo spy pics. They had winter tires on them. Sorry, but I didn't have a camera. It was noticably wider, and even noticable from the side. Pretty cool

The pictures aren't really distorted or stretched. The picture shot straight on the rear end is exactly what it looked like - really wide.
