The 996 model is a superb car; quick, reliable, well made and the birth of the water cooled Porsche 911. With a wide range of models on offer, the most iconic is, of course, the Turbo. Featuring four-wheel drive and a 3.6 litre, intercooled engine, derived from the 1998 Le Mans winning GT-1 car, pushing out 420bhp and hitting 60mph in a whisker over four seconds, this is genuine supercar territory. The 996 was seen as a more relaxed and usable 911; however, in Turbo guise, the driver would get the best of both worlds; a luxury leather interior with every creature comfort combined with the ability to drop the hammer and reach a top speed of a claimed 190 mph. The 996 Turbo was available with either a six-speed manual or a five-speed tiptronic transmission with revised styling and a wider stance than the naturally aspirated 996 Carreras along with new bi-xenon headlamps. The Turbo also came with Vario Cam Plus as well as stability management - a necessity with over 400 bhp under your right foot.

Registered new on 28th November 2001 this UK supplied right hand drive example is the desirable manual derivative and is presented in its original colour combination of Silver coachwork over a Navy Blue interior. The 996 has had just four former keepers and comes complete with an extensive service history along with many bills and invoices for maintenance work, many old MoT records, the current UK registration document, and a MoT valid until August 2025. These 996 Turbo's seem excellent value for money and this example is no exception. Consigned by Daniel Godin
