The Iconic 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo.


Behold the 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo, a paragon of German automotive engineering that has cruised the roads of various states, finding its way to its present owner in 2017. In their devoted care, this automotive gem has revved an additional 2k miles to the existing 39k on its odometer. Underneath its sleek hood roars a potent twin-turbocharged 3.6L flat-six engine, effortlessly delivering power to its all-wheel-drive system via a six-speed manual transaxle complemented by a limited-slip differential.

The Timeless Exterior:

Dressed in the ethereal Polar Silver Metallic shade, this 993 Turbo stands out with its widened bodywork, a revamped bumper design, and a distinctive rear spoiler specially designed to house top-mount intercoolers. This sets it apart from the standard 993 coupe variants. It further boasts features like integrated fog lights, a nifty power sunroof, and the signature dual exhaust outlets, asserting its luxurious yet sporty aesthetics. Interestingly, the front bumper has undergone a repaint, and in a proactive move in 2018, clear paint protection film was meticulously layered over parts like the nose, mirror caps, and rocker panels.

Wheels & Handling:

A set of shimmering 18″ RUF five-spoke wheels, crafted by the esteemed OZ Racing, are perfectly paired with high-performance Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. The car also pioneers with the Automatic Brake Differential (ABD) and takes pride in being the first 911 with a multi-link rear suspension. Ensuring impeccable stopping power are Porsche’s signature four-piston calipers which hug the cross-drilled rotors. An additional touch of finesse is seen in the carbon-fiber front strut tower brace.
