Porsche 996 Turbo S

Le véhicule en détail

The 911 (996) Turbo offers genuine supercar performance in a compact and practical package. The turbocharged version of the 996 appeared in 2000, three years after the normally aspirated 996 had replaced the much loved 993. Arriving with four-wheel drive as standard, a water-cooled engine, a new bodyshell and a radically updated cabin, the new 996 Turbo was a thoroughly sophisticated, all-weather, competent supercar and although it went out of production in 2005, in real terms it’s still as quick as anything on the road.

Like the GT3, the new Turbo engine was derived from the engine used in the 1998 Le Mans winning 911 GT1 race car and, like its predecessor, featured twin-turbos and now developed 420 hp. In 2002, the X50 package was offered as an option on the Turbo that included larger K24 turbochargers and intercoolers, a revised ECU and quad-pipe exhaust which raised power output to 331 kW (450 hp). With the X50 package, the car could accelerate from 0-100km/h in 3.9 seconds. Later-on towards the end of the 996 life cycle, the Turbo S arrived, having the X50 package standard. The Turbo S with a limited production-run and a remarkable top-speed of 317km/h has become a very collectable car in recent years.

Out of a total production of 600 Turbo S coupés build, 186 manual transmission cars left the factory, however only ONE was delivered in the color Leinen metallic. Leinen metallic was available for 911’sin the 80’s.
