The Porsche 911 996 Turbo debuted at the Frankfurt Auto Show in September 1999. The Turbo featured four-wheel drive and a 3.6 litre, intercooled engine, derived from the 1998 Le Mans winning GT-1 car. This impressive power plant could achieve 420bhp and was capable of reaching 60mph in a whisker over four seconds, the Turbo provides genuine supercar performance. 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 reach a top speed of 190 mph. The 996 Turbo had revised and wider stance and revised styling over the normally aspirated 996 Carreras and was available with either a purist’s 6-speed manual or a 5-speed tiptronic transmission. The Turbo also came with VarioCam Plus as well as stability management, a necessity with over 400 bhp on offer.
