History:
These turbocharged Porsches are the successors to the famous G-series 911 Turbos. The engine has a capacity of 3,600 cubic centimetres, with the main difference being the liquid-cooled engine. This powerful sports car, launched in 2000, was initially fitted with a 6-speed manual gearbox, but an automatic version was introduced very shortly afterwards.
The advanced engineering of this twin-turbo car gives it a real boost; the 420 chevaux of initial power are very well distributed throughout the vehicle, with a top speed on the track of 298 kilometres per hour, according to the manufacturer’s figures. The model’s modern design incorporates a wide range of features, including a rear spoiler integrated into the boot lid to enhance the car’s stability during acceleration and at high speeds on the track. The design is innovative, with twin front headlights and rear lights that blend seamlessly into the car’s overall silhouette, creating a striking sense of fluidity. It is also worth noting that the car has all-wheel drive, which requires experience when driving on a circuit. It was a technological gem upon its release, and few can rival a model that sticks to the road so well whilst also serving as a practical everyday city car. All in all, a great success for the manufacturer at the time of this model’s launch.
Condition:
A very fine car in its black livery, fitted with the options available at the time for a top-of-the-range sports car. Electrically adjustable leather seats with memory function, CD player, integrated telephone, ABS and other safety systems.
Its service history was maintained by Porsche for around ten years; subsequent servicing was partly carried out outside the Porsche network but at specialist garages. The car shows no signs of impact visible to the naked eye, no leaks, nor any significant seepage; the tyres are the original fitment. It is not possible to say whether this 996 is fully ‘Matching Numbers’, despite the well-maintained service history book provided, as routine repairs and servicing, whilst carried out, do not guarantee everything.
There are no visible signs of impact or scratches; on the underside of the car, there are a few slight traces of corrosion around the manifolds, but overall it is in very good condition.
The front bumper is undamaged, which is quite rare.
This is a rare and sought-after model, both for its styling and its performance.
Before taking it onto a circuit, the oil will need to be changed and the tyres replaced to ensure the best results.
