During the 70s and 80s, the Turbo cars were synonymous with the term ‘widowmaker’ as the cars were extremely toxic and slightly erratic. with the 993 generation, the car got four-wheel drive for the first time to make them more user-friendly and this combined with better and better chassis and turbo response thanks to twin turbos made the Turbo the ultimate sports car. The generation that followed refined the recipe.
996 Turbo. Perhaps the most beautiful thing that Porsche produced at the time. A wide and aggressive but restrained exterior. A car that the average person would walk by on the street without reacting but who knows… This example is specified in an elegant Seal Gray and stands proudly on its timeless 18″ hollow spoke ‘Turbo Twist’ rims shod in fresh Michelin rubber. The exterior is a symphony of round shapes and soft lines that somehow inexplicably shape something sharp and aggressive. The rear fender has been given a well-sized intake to feed the engine with fresh air and for the first time on a 911 Turbo we see active aerodynamics in shape of a hydraulic wing at the back.
The inside continues the same shape and color palette. Gray leather throughout that dresses round shapes and in the contemporary ‘Raff’ style over seats and door sides. The driver’s seat is simple and functional. No multifunction steering wheel or digital gauge cluster. The center console houses the PCM with GPS which, some 23 years later, may not be in the same class as Google Maps, but something that immediately pleases the driver as a look back to 2001. The handset for the built-in telephone is also found here. Of course not wireless. As it should. This is an extremely well-maintained example of one of our favorite variants of Porsche’s phenomenal 996. Sold in Sweden with a wonderful history and sparingly used.
