Last Year there was a very good Sixt offer on the M3 which I took them up on as I flew into Munich and had a meeting about a 3 hour drive away. With the M3 it was a two hour drive (although certainly not risk free).
At least the 911 is being offered, previous offers charged more for the 911 than Panamera or Boxster. Probably the 99EUR covers insurance, cleaning and fuel.
I took the Sixt M3 convertible offer last year from Munich, never got the 6000 miles they promised, M&M said they couldn't find any such promo which was featured when HONs log in to the M&M website.
Similarly there's an offer from Sixt for HON now for an Aston Martin DB9 Volante from 675EUR for 3 days, or any number of days for 225EUR (with 200km/day, insurance), but may charge the premium location surcharge from the airport. They offer 2000 award miles with it.
