Porsche numenclature: Is it really TYP or TYPE?
When the factory refers to a model (ie., 911, 930, etc.), is it really a TYP911 or TYPE911? Is using the "E" mostly an American thing? I've seen it used both ways and was wondering which is correct.
Mahalos. |

ATE "gold" brake fluid is "TYP 200" so maybe "TYP" is the German word for "type"?

Typ is German for "type" and German slang for "guy, fellow, character".

Germans don't like ending words with silent "e"s

Which explains why MAHLE is actually pronounced "molly" not "mall" as I used to think when i was a kid poring over the racing mags.....;-)
