This 2002 Porsche 911 Turbo (996), model year 2003, is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic (L92U) with a full Boxster Red leather interior (ME) a breathtakingly elegant and historically significant color combination.
The silver-red pairing pays homage to the iconic Porsche 550 Spyder of the 1950s, and was revived again for the launch of the first Boxster (986).
It perfectly blends cool metallic precision with warm, classic sportscar character and is extremely rare to find on a 996 Turbo.
Beneath the skin lies the legendary 3.6-litre twin-turbocharged Mezger engine (M96/70), producing 420 PS (309 kW) and 560 Nm of torque.Paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox and permanent all-wheel drive, the 996 Turbo accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 4.2 seconds and reaches a top speed of 305 km/h.
Unlike later generations, the 996 Turbo is powered by the Mezger dry-sump engine directly derived from the Le Mans–winning GT1 race car.
This makes it one of the last truly analog and bulletproof 911 Turbos, free from the intermediate shaft issues found in standard 996 models.
This particular example was delivered new in Germany (C00) and has remained there ever since.

Its history is exceptionally well-documented, with over 34 recorded mileage entries, the original German Fahrzeugbrief, old Tüv reports, 111p Checks Porsche, complete service book, and an extensive folder of Porsche service invoices totalling over €13,500.
Recently, the car underwent a full inspection by Porsche Classic, with the report and invoice available for review.
It remains 100% original, in first paint, and in outstanding cosmetic and mechanical condition.
The Boxster Red full leather interior is exceptionally well preserved it truly looks like a one-year-old Jahreswagen rather than a 23-year-old car.
The car also benefits from new tyres and a particularly rare feature for collectors: it is a slicktop (code 652 – no sunroof), giving it a purer silhouette and slightly lighter weight.

Launch Background
When introduced in 2000, the 996 Turbo represented a technological leap for Porsche.It was the first Turbo to feature water-cooled cylinder heads, VarioCam Plus variable valve timing, and twin K16 turbochargers with integrated intercoolers.Its performance placed it squarely in supercar territory yet it remained an everyday usable 911, with impeccable build quality and reliability.
Today, the 996 Turbo is rightly recognised as a modern classic, especially the manual slicktop Mezger cars, which combine analog feel with race-derived engineering.
