In 2024, our friends in Zuffenhausen had a special reason to celebrate: the 50th anniversary of the 911 Turbo. They may not have suspected it at the time, but when Porsche presented the 930 Turbo at the 1974 Paris Motor Show, they laid the foundation for an icon within the 911 family—a model that’s still alive and kicking to this day. With racing-inspired technology, everyday usability, and a touch of quirkiness that always keeps you on your toes, the Turbo became an enduring legend.
The 996 Turbo, introduced in 2000, marked a new chapter in this tradition. For this model, Porsche opted for the legendary and largely indestructible ‘Mezger’ block, which, like the 996 GT3, was switched to water cooling. The block was based on the same engine that the 911 GT1 won Le Mans with in 1998. Porsche equipped the 996 Turbo with two relatively compact K16 turbos, good for an impressive 420 hp and 560 Nm of torque. A brilliant combination of advanced technology and brute force that did justice to the Turbo status.
