With supercar performance offered in a compact and practical
package, the turbocharged version of the Porsche 911 Type 996 first
appeared in 2000. Boasting four-wheel drive as standard, the new
911 Turbo was a thoroughly sophisticated and competent all-weather
supercar, and although it went out of production in 2005, in
day-to-day driving it is still as quick as nearly anything on the
road.
This stunning 2003 Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe, finished in Lapis Blue
Metallic over a Graphite Grey interior, has been carefully driven
fewer than 32,650 miles since new. The impressive list of factory
options on this car includes the highly desirable X50 Turbo Power
Kit, stainless steel exhaust pipes, carbon door sill model
insignia, leather sun visors with lighted mirror, a three-spoke
steering wheel trimmed in carbon and leather, a carbon-trimmed
shifter, aluminum trimmed pedals, and supple front and rear
full-leather seats with special-color interior stitching and
Porsche-crest headrests, all bringing the original manufacturer's
suggested retail price when new to $142,045.
The previous owner was a very astute Porsche enthusiast and only
installed proper and manageable extras that add to the car's
drivability. Some of the carefully chosen aftermarket upgrades
include a JRZ RS One adjustable suspension, GT2 clutch, GT2
decklid, Cobb Performance Tune with Access Port, Agency Power
carbon fiber intake, red Alcantara 997 shift knob, custom carbon
fiber trimmed steering wheel and center console, and a Pioneer head
unit with backup camera. A recently mounted set of Michelin Pilot
Sport tires compliment the high-quality list of upgrades.
Accompanying the car is a clean Carfax, a Porsche Certificate of
Authenticity, two keys, books, service records, tools, the original
decklid, original center console, original radio unit, original
steering wheel, and original suspension components. Attention to
detail, both mechanically and aesthetically, make this superb
X50-equipped 2003 Porsche 911 Turbo a thrilling proposition. To
