It’s fairly shocking that for around the same price as a fairly lightly optioned base model Cayman, you can leap into entirely another world of performance with a 911 Turbo. Of course, there’s a price to pay for this relative leap in performance, and that’s that you have to settle at this price point for the current ugly duckling of the Porsche world – the 996. Now, of course there will be drawbacks to buying into an older car – for one, it’s not new with a warranty, and the 996 isn’t the prettiest Porsche ever built. But in terms of performance for dollar spent, right now it’s pretty hard to beat a package like the 996 Twin Turbo with the X50 option.

Please give me a call if you would like to discuss this Turbo in more detail. I am a PCA member and would love to talk Porsches with you! I am also able to assist with vehicle transport service as I have access to a variety of reliable transport companies, many with whom I have done business with over the past several years. Thanks!

With 450 horsepower on tap from the factory with the X50 option kit, the 996 Twin Turbo wasn’t exactly slow to begin with, but this car has been even further upgraded. Power isn’t quoted, but figure “enough” is likely the general figure you’re looking at. Additionally, this car has the suspension upgrade which is certainly nice. Miles are lower and the condition overall appears great. Unfortunately, I’ve got two gripes with this car – I’m not really a fan of the Techart “GT2” body kit – the rear isn’t bad, but the gaping holes in the front bumper just look a bit off to me. Second, I’m just not a fan of the wheels. Still, both of those items could be pretty easily sorted and for under $60,000 you could have a screaming performance deal. If you just want to go fast – ludicrously fast – all the time, this is the best way to do it.

Entering the modified exotic market for 60K seems like an absolute steal. Porsche purists would never criticize your choice, most of them have already written off 996’s anyway. I doubt the dream of owning a 911 Turbo on a photo copier salesman’s salary will be alive for long, now is the time.
So modified, yet so tasteful. This car would look very nice in my garage.
These, and the RUF, cars are the best looking of all the Porsches.
assuming the car is as represented….this is a bargain!….
don’t know why the P-Car purists poo-poo the 996…..would be nice to have this or a GT3 in my driveway
Honestly, I really don’t care much for any Techart cars. The styling is just weird and the wheels are far too Fast and Furious for me. Actually, the whole car is too F&F for me. The body kit does not flow with the lines on the car…in the least. Shame, because I’d assume that Techart is far from cheap.
[…] in near-new and perfect condition. Does that justify the nearly $400,000 price when you can buy a faster 911 Turbo for $60,000? . Well, I’m willing to bet 993 fans will find some way to justify it. For the rest of us, […]
