1996 Porsche 911 Turbo

[ translate ]

Chassis No. WP0AC2992TS375129
The 993 is widely considered the best of all worlds; classic 911 family styling combined with Porsche's superb engineering and legendary reliability. When the 993-generation 911 Turbo was introduced at Geneva International Motor Show in early 1995, Porsche's press release discussing the new model stated, “In the 911 Turbo from the 993 model line, twin-turbocharging was used for the first time, with one smaller turbocharger installed in each cylinder bank. It is also the first Turbo model to feature all-wheel drive.” The M64/60 engine, new to the 993 series, was a 3600 cc alloy-cased, dry-sumped SOHC design with two valves per cylinder. Compression was set at 8:1 to safely accommodate the boost provided by a pair of K16 turbochargers, the first such application of this layout since the iconic Porsche 959. These were partnered with full-width air-to-air intercoolers and wastegates located below the fixed rear spoiler. This powerplant developed a strong 408-horsepower in standard form. It also produced a significant amount of torque – 398 lb-ft at 4500 rpm – with most of that available at just 2500 rpm. New cylinder heads were designed for the M64/60 and the latest Bosch Motronic engine management package handled fuel and spark duties.
\
Power was fed through a beefy six-speed, fully-synchronized G64/51 transmission with longer gearing, and then to a sophisticated full-time AWD system with limited-slip. First developed for the 959, it split power delivery between the front and rear axles, with as much as 20 percent of the available torque going to the front when circumstances demanded, ensuring stability under hard acceleration. The greatly-increased output demanded larger brakes, sourced from the 911 Carrera RS. Porsche-labeled four-piston red-painted calipers clamped cross-drilled and ventilated 322 mm rotors. The newest version of ABS was included. The new Turbo retained most of the 993-generation suspension layout, with MacPherson gas-filled struts in front and a light-alloy multi-link on a sub-frame in the rear. Larger anti-roll bars were installed at both ends.
Under designer Tony Hatter's guidance, the exterior styling was suitably revised, with widened rear quarter panels, a redesigned rear bumper, and a new front fascia with integrated driving lamps. As one would expect from Porsche's flagship model, the 911 Turbo came fully equipped, with a standard electric sliding sunroof, electric windows and outside mirrors, a rear wiper, headlamp washers, cruise control, air conditioning with automatic climate control, tinted glass, airbags, and a full leather interior. Hollow spoke “turbo twist” 18-inch alloy wheels, nine inches wide in front and 10 inches at the rear, were standard. The 911 Turbo was capable of mind-bending performance, with a claimed 0-60 time of 4.5 seconds and a maximum speed of 184 miles per hour.
This low-mileage 911 Turbo is one of just 1,357 produced for the North American market for 1996. Finished in the visually-exciting hue of Speed Yellow (L12G) and complemented by a dark Midnight Blue (US) leather interior, not only does this all-wheel-drive Porsche Turbo thrill the eye, but it offers supercar over-the-road performance. Delivered with optional heated driver and passenger seats with lumbar support and a Becker six-disc CD changer, this example retains a clean CARFAX report showing no reported accidents or damage. First registered in Florida, and subsequently in New York, California, and Georgia service records on file indicated that a substantial amount of work has been carried out since May 2022. A brake fluid flush with brake lines, front brake pads, and sensors was completed. Updated oil lines, a power-steering rack rebuild, and replacement of the air filter, spark plugs, and belts. Additionally, the air conditioning was converted to R134a in May 2022, with a replacement air conditioning compressor installed in December 2022.
When new, the 911 Turbo was lauded by critics as being, as one author claimed, “The last complete modern classic”. Currently displaying 16,220 miles at cataloging, this 911 Turbo is supplied with its trunk-mounted spare wheel, a jack, and a tool kit. It would make a great addition to any serious Porsche collection, especially one with an emphasis on well-equipped examples with an uncommon specification.
