The vehicle in detail

Offered with both keys, original manuals, a clean California title, and a rare original delivery letter from Porsche Cars North America to the first owner, this launch-spec 996 Turbo represents a collector-grade example of one of the most usable and reliable analog-era 911 Turbos.

The 996 Turbo was a major milestone in the 911 lineage — the first Turbo model to feature water-cooling, and the first to pair supercar-level performance with everyday usability. Powered by a Mezger-designed 3.6L flat-six derived from the GT1 Le Mans program, the 996 Turbo produced 415 hp and delivered a 0–60 time under four seconds with all-wheel drive, a 6-speed manual, and near-bulletproof reliability.

Unlike previous Turbos, the 996 could be driven daily without compromise, yet it still offered raw engagement and analog charm that has since vanished from newer generations. Today, it represents one of the best value propositions in the modern Porsche world — a Mezger engine, manual transmission, and timeless styling in a package that remains highly usable and collectable. Launch cars, like this one, hold additional historical appeal as early, well-optioned builds delivered to high-profile Porsche clients.

Designated as an official launch car by Porsche, this 2001 911 Turbo was delivered new to Le Mans racer Jack Griffin in April 2000 and remains in exceptional condition with just 39,561 miles. Finished in Arctic Silver over a full Black leather interior, it was ordered with Supple Leather, xenon headlights, heated and power-adjustable Comfort Seats, and a rear wiper, among other factory options.
