Notes: One year old, the new 911 received only minor changes, mostly
to paint colors. A new exhaust system debuted, which boosted horsepower
to an even 300bhp. Tinkering was also performed on the fuel metering
system for the engine. The 911 Turbo debuted in 2000, but it waited until
the 2001 model year.
