2003 Porsche 911 Turbo (996)

The 996 Turbo was released at the Frankfurt Motor show in September 1999 and was on sale in the second half of 2000 as a 2001 model. It was the first water-cooled Porsche 911 turbo and the first 911 Turbo available with either a 6-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic, known as a Tiptronic gearbox.

The 996 Turbo is powered by a water-cooled twin-turbocharged, 3.6 L flat-6 engine, derived from the 1998 Le Mans winning GT1 race car. It produces 309kW or 420Hp with 563Nm of torque available. Zero to 100km/h take 4.2 seconds and top speed is 310km/h.

This specific car is one of a few 911 Turbos that came to SA in 2003. It is a one owner car and has done only 83000kms from new, with a full-service history by Porsche SA. Finished in Carrara white with blue leather interior the car has been meticulously maintained and is in near perfect condition!  It is a six-speed manual and has the following factory fitted standard and optional extras:

• Sunroof
• Xenon headlights with washers
• Extended leather interior
• Bose sound system
• Cruise control
• On board computer
• Navigation system, and lots more

Current pricing on Porsche 996 Turbos allows for potential growth and it is the right time to get into a good example. This car must be one of the best examples available.
