Vehicle Description
Chassis No. WP0AC2995TS376226
Borrowing technology from the revolutionary 959 supercar, the 993
generation of Porsche's venerable 911 would simultaneously mark the
first 911 Turbo to feature all-wheel drive and the last with an
air-cooled engine. Offering a twenty percent improvement in
torsional strength under acceleration over its rear-wheel drive
predecessor thanks to the new all-wheel drive, 0-60 miles per hour
would take just 4.4 seconds. With widened rear wheel arches and
fixed "whale tail" rear wing housing the intercoolers, the 993
Turbo offered attractive, yet purposeful exterior styling. Ready to
tackle any situation, Porsche would aptly describe the 993 as a car
not built for just looking good but a true performance machine
"built to depart for everywhere."
Offered with fewer than 31,000 miles at the time of cataloging,
this U.S.-market 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo is finished in Black over a
striking Leather-to-Sample Can-Can Red interior. Its accompanying
Porsche-issued Certificate of Authenticity records that the Turbo
was completed on 26 April 1996 and lists the following optional
equipment: Lumbar Support - Left Seat, Self Dimming Mirrors & Rain
Sensor, Supple Leather F/R, Shift Lever Knob/Boot in Leather, Front
Floor Mats w/ 'Porsche,' Leather Parking Brake Lever, AM/FM Radio
w/ CD Player, Rim Caps w/ Porsche Crest, Leather Welting Interior,
Pirelli Tires. This full complement of desirable options brought
the original MSRP to $114,226 when new.
The accompanying clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report notes that the
Turbo was first registered in California in February 1997 showing
281 miles, with subsequent registration history in Washington,
Arizona, Colorado, Virginia, and Montana. Invoices on file also
note consistent service visits over the past decade, including
replacement of the clutch disc and resealing of the transmission in
2019 at 29,693 miles, an annual service in 2018 at 29,530 miles,
and an annual service and replacement of the air conditioning
condenser in 2017 at 29,243 miles. Further invoices from Intersport
in McLean, Virginia detail a major service in 2016 at 28,801 miles,
encompassing a full fluid change, replacing the drive belts, upper
and lower valve covers, ignition wires, intercooler hoses, front
hood struts, and resealing the sunroof. This highly collectible 911
Turbo is an ideal way to experience the last turbocharged Porsche
of the air-cooled era, in an uncommon and exciting color
combination no less.
