Originally, the 996 Turbo developed 415 bhp @ 6000 rpm and torque of 415 ft lbs @ 2700 rpm. And, in addition to a 6-speed manual or optional 5-speed automatic, all 996 Turbos came with all-wheel drive. 0-60 mph took only 4 seconds flat and the quarter mile was over in just 12.4 seconds. To help with high-speed stability, US models had an electronically-adjusting rear spoiler, helping the 996 Turbo hit a top speed of 189 mph.
The 996 Turbo was the first water-cooled Porsche Turbo and it was an instant hit for the German car-maker. When it was introduced, it suddenly made its competition look outdated. Its all-wheel-drive system and the mix of performance and comfort it added, made it one of the best choices on the market, and new buyers didn’t care too much about the fact that it didn’t feature an air-cooled engine. It was faster than most of its competitors, and it was almost as comfortable as a British GT car.
From the outside, the front bumper attracted views due to its large three air-intakes needed to cool the radiators. On its sides, another pair of air-intakes needed to feed the big turbochargers were installed in front of the rear wheels. The wide rear fenders looked muscular. A fixed-wing was added on top of the engine lid.
