The fifth generation of the classic sports car was radically new - and for the first time used water cooling instead of the previously fiercely defended air cooling.
The 996 therefore had to prove itself right from the start in order to convince even skeptics.
Porsche finally dispelled any remaining doubts with the Turbo: 420 hp from 3.6 liters of displacement with twin turbocharging caused quite a stir at the time.
The engine was based on the design of the legendary Hans Mezger, who had already played a key role in the construction of the first 911 Turbo.
The "Mezger engine" is still referred to today and was used in the Turbo and GT models up to the 997 model series.
The engine is characterized by its two-part aluminium crankcase.
In contrast to other designs, this allows a perfect oil supply even at high lateral acceleration and is therefore particularly suitable for use on the race track.
In addition, the engine is extremely durable and reliable - as it proved in a slightly modified form with a double victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1998.
The 996 Turbo still impresses today: the biturbo sends 560 Nm of torque to all four wheels.
Even in a world of high-torque diesels and powerful electric cars, that still feels beefy.
Accompanied by the typical roaring sound that characterizes a turbocharged 911.
The 911 Turbo of the 996 generation therefore has what it takes to become a classic.
It is an important model in the company's history, the technology has written racing history and the Turbo, with a total of around 22,000 vehicles produced, is significantly rarer than the Carrera models, of which more than 150,000 were produced.
The 996 Turbo on offer was delivered to the Porsche Center Ulm/Neu-Ulm on 31.07.2001 and comes with a fresh MOT (06/2027) and a major service.
The shock absorbers and strut bearings were replaced in June 2025.
The configuration of the 996 Turbo was not spared. An electric sunroof, Tiptronic, Cognac interior, heated seats, passive handset for the telephone module (PCM), CD changer, PCM1 system with navigation, Turbo LM wheels and Alcantara headlining were included in the configuration alongside the standard BiXenon headlights.
It is certainly not a collector's car and also has its traces of use, but it has a very nice color combination and represents a light-footed entry into the Porsche Turbo world. It is untouched, the tires are from 2023 and 2025 and the original Turbo rims were recently refreshed and repainted.
All previous owners are known and it was only registered in Bavaria and Baden Württemberg. The owners were born in 1937, 1949 and 1959.
The checkbook is available and was filled out regularly. Up to 180Tkm it was always at the Porsche Center (Ulm/Neu-Ulm). The last two services were at 199Tkm and at 204Tkm at the Porsche specialist in the Munich area (invoice available).
