It's a German thing that he and Andy cooked up describing ....I think...the LE. Think of it as one of his pics...fuzzy and inconceivable....

in germany the LE's were sometimes called "Jubiläumsmodell", meaning "Celebration Model" because the LE was supposed to be a celebration of porsche's involvement in the "Can Am" series.

and "Hummel" is the german word for "Bumble Bee" ...

Andy

Did you just make that up...???????????

Like Howard does...?????????

What was the german model that came with a plaque on the dash?

they called it Jubiläumsmodell to celebrate the 100,000 sold (or built ??) cars

the CanAm idea was rejected with the end of Porsche's racing activities in the CanAm series

just take a look at Jeff's page - you already posted the link

this car....

correct, but the truth is, the "100,000 sold" thing was very much a (marketing)afterthought.
the LE's were already in planning/production when porsche's involvement in the CanAm went belly up and they had to come up with something new to promote the LE cars. that's when they came up with the "Jubiläumsmodell".

either way, i still want to do a widebody GT style bumblebee ...
