“In the world of internal-combustion power plays, essentially no production car sold in America can outmuscle the '96 Porsche 911 Turbo in flat-out acceleration. With a staggering 400 horsepower pumping from the loins of its twin-turbocharged, twin-intercooled, 3.6-liter SOHC flat-six, with all-wheel drive and 18-inch rubber to claw the ground, with a close-ratio six-speed gearbox to stir your soul, and with high-downforce bodywork of scoops, slats, grilles, and appendages, the most brutal street Porsche ever produced is also the ultimate roadside predator.
,,,How forceful? Try 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds and 0-100 mph in 9.1. Try a 12.1-second/113.1-mph quarter mile. Try a 0-100-0 mph go/stop blitzkrieg in 13 seconds flat. Try that more than a couple of times, and you'll have to pull to the side of the road to let your internal fluids settle back into their proper receptacles.”

One of only 2000 Turbos built that year, and one of only 1,357 sold in the USA & Canada, this rare car has been well cared for and is in excellent, low mileage condition. Finished in Polar Silver Metallic with a Black Leather Interior, this Turbo’s options include the Cellular Phone and Charger Console, Aluminum Instrument Dials, Digital Sound Package with AM/FM/CD Radio, Head Restraints and wheels with Porsche Crests - in addition to its lengthy list of Standard Turbo Equipment. A Valentine One radar/laser detector and remote display have been installed, and are included. This is a two owner car, with current ownership since May of 2000.
The Carfax report is available on request, and shows a “very minor damage” incident in 2006, (a result of wet road surface hydroplaning, leading to a safe agricultural excursion). The resulting damage required refinishing the front fascia and related parts, and the replacement of the engine splash shield. Detailed records and receipts from the body shop (a good, “go to” one used by many Porsche owners in the area) are included. Also included are the window sticker, books, and all records & receipts since current ownership, two key fobs (one new) plus one mechanical “valet” key, and a full car cover.
This car has been well cared for by its owner of 22 years, always garaged. In addition to its outstanding powerful performance, this Turbo is also docile at low speeds, drives easily and comfortably around town – while always ready for the push of acceleration, even from low revs in any gear.
