2005 PORSCHE 911 (996) TURBO S

KEY FACTS

• A great example of the flagship Turbo of its era, with performance modifications and very low mileage.
• Under the engine lid is the 3.6-litre twin-turbocharged flat-six ‘Mezger’ engine, tuned to produce around 570hp (and 515hp at the wheels), coupled to the desirable six-speed manual transmission.
• It benefits from a comprehensive service history and an upgrade package from renowned Porsche specialist Nine Excellence.
• The car has just four owners from new.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• With a very rare factory specification, this 996 left the factory with Dark Olive paintwork (which was introduced just before the 997 generation), tan leather upholstery and the aerodynamic body kit.
• The cabin features satellite navigation, air-conditioning and a Bose sound system.
• Its Nine Excellence upgrade package comprises GT2 RS intercoolers, a switchable exhaust, semi-solid engine mounts, one-bar actuators and a Sachs 890nm clutch.
• Its original owner’s manuals and service book will be included, alongside a detailed folder of maintenance invoices.

CONDITION
