At The Cars Debut, The 996 Featured The Most Significant Change From The Classic 911 Series, This Was The Controversial Water Cooled Engine, Which Replaced The Previously Air Cooled Unit. The 996 Turbo Was Introduced At The Frankfurt Motor Show In September 1999, With The Production To Start In 2000 And Since This Point A True Legend Was Born. The Then New 996 Turbo Offered Genuine Supercar Performance In A Compact, But Surprisingly Practical Package And Unlike The Early Infamous Turbo 911`s, The 996 Version Became A Different Sort Of Animal, With Four Wheel Drive, A Smooth New Body Shell And A Radically Updated Cabin. Powerful Sophistication Was Porsche`s Main Goal. The 996 Turbo, Like All The Other 911 Turbo Cars Of The Past, Has Instantly Fallen Into The Collectable Classic Porsche Title. With A New Breed Of Enthusiast Owners Wanting To Own Their Very Own Piece Of Stuttgart Motoring History And With The Dramatic Climb Of The 993 Turbo Values, Who Can Blame Them On Jumping Aboard That Happy Band Wagon. The Power Offered From The Trouble Free Mezger Engine Is Astonishing And Even With The Age Of This Model, It Can Still Delight And Exhilarate. In 2005 The Porsche Factory Gave The Ultimate Offering, With The Introduction Of The Turbo S Model And With The Initial Low Numbers, These Now Rare Examples Are Becoming Increasing Interesting To The New Breed Of Porsche Enthusiast And Motoring Collector Across The Globe. The Turbo S Came As Standard With Increased Power From The Factory X50 Package, Along With The Recognisable And Expensive Ceramic Brakes And Of Course The Signature Chromed Rear Turbo S Badge. Today This Rare Model Is Highly Attractive, With Many Collectors Wanting This As Part Of Their Personal Portfolio, But Numbers Are Few And Far Between, Which Will Only Ever Mean That Prices Will Continue To Climb Quickly.
The Provenance Will Continue For The Next Lucky Custodian With An Excellent Past Porsche And Porsche Specialist Service Inventory With Visits Logged At 10543, 16871, 20163, 23490, 31676 & 31925 Miles, With The Last Carried Out By An OPC Porsche Centre In May 2017. We Also Have Past MOT Logs To Validate The Low Mileage And The Factory Build Card From New, Which Will Add To The Cars Perfection.
An Excellent Opportunity.
