2001 PORSCHE 911 (996) CARRERA CSR

KEY FACTS

• The appropriate registration ‘Y20 CSR’ is included in the sale.
• It is powered by a modified version of the 3.4-litre engine, producing 296bhp and 258lb-ft of torque, coupled to an automatic transmission with AMG paddle shift conversion, and a Wavetrac Torsen limited-slip differential.
• The car benefits from a comprehensive service history made up of Official Porsche Centres and specialist garages.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• As part of the CSR conversion, RPM Technik has modified the 3.4-litre engine with an upgraded intermediate shaft bearing, low temp thermostat, third radiator kit and added a deep sump extension.
• The car rides on three-way adjustable KW coilover suspension with new top mounts, drop links, Powerflex bushes and hollow Eibach anti-roll bars.
• GT3 side skirts and front bumper have been installed, along with a painted carbon-fibre ducktail spoiler, bespoke stainless steel exhaust and Fuchs alloy wheels.
• The seats have been re-trimmed in Scottish Tartan with black leather bolsters, plus the steering wheel and handbrake in Alcantara. Signature CSR carbon door sill inserts complete the interior upgrades.
• Its original owner’s manuals, satellite navigation discs and toolkit will be included, along with the original spare wheel/tyre and a large history folder.
