Vehicle Description
2003 Porsche 911 Turbo X50. Vin# WP0AB29913S686425. 12,563 Miles. 6-Speed Manual. Guards Red (L84A). Savanna Beige Full Leather Interior (SD). One Owner Car. Clean Carfax. Books, Manuals, Tools, Spare & Jack .. This astonishingly low mile 996 Twin Turbo comes in the original Guards Red paint on Savanna Beige full leather Interior. Both in and out, the condition is spectacular! There has never been any paintwork! The car comes fitted with the highly desirable and expensive factory X50 option, which stands for larger turbochargers, intercoolers, revised ECU and exhaust. All these sum up to higher horsepower, taking the motor from the standard 415 HP to 444 HP! Another expensive option that this car is fitted with is the factory Turbo Aerokit, which gives the car a a much sleeker and racier look. The Turbo spent its entire life in Charlotte, North Caroline, and was regularly serviced at the Authorized Porsche dealership. All the service is documented via stamps in the Porsche Maintenance Book, which ads to the value of this pristine collectors gem. The 996 Turbos have been steadily climbing in price, and it would not be a big surprise if the best low mile examples sky rocket in the near future. The modern era of new Porsche buyers still thirst for classics, but the majority of this new crowd wish for comfort combined with unchallenging drivability. The 996 Turbos fit this criteria perfectly!

I would like to share my personal observations about the 996 Turbo's! The engine was designed by Hans Metzger, probably the best Porsche engine designer ever. Mr. Metzger designed the engines for my Porsche factory team cars that we won the 2000 American Le Mans Series with. They were absolutely bulletproof, enabling us to win 10 out of 12 races. We also won the European Le Mans Series in 2000. The 996 Turbo engines are not the same design as used in the normal 996 911's. There was a intermediate shaft bearing problem with those cars and some have thought the Turbo's also had a problem. Not true, Mr. Metzger's engines feature a totally different design. Serviced properly, they will provide many hundred's of thousands of miles with spectacular performance. Dick Barbour .. Collector car financing available at competitive rates.
