A True Driver’s 996 Turbo — Uncompromised Performance, Timeless Design

Few cars capture the duality of precision and passion like the 2001 Porsche 911 Turbo. Dressed in Arctic Silver Metallic over Black full leather, this example presents the quintessential blend of understated sophistication and relentless capability. With just 41,000 miles and equipped with the 6-speed manual transmission, twin-turbocharged all-wheel drive, and completely stock mechanicals, this 996 Turbo stands as one of the most rewarding modern classics on the road today.

​

A Modern Classic Built for Purists

The 996-generation Turbo marked a turning point for Porsche — the first Turbo to benefit from the race-bred Mezger engine, a direct descendant of the powerplant used in the 911 GT1. With 415 horsepower and all-wheel drive, it delivers a balance of precision and confidence that defined Porsche’s engineering prowess in the early 2000s. The visceral punch of twin turbos spooling behind you, paired with the engagement of the manual gearbox, reminds you why the analog era remains unmatched.

​

Condition & Details

This example remains 100% stock, preserving the original character that makes the 996 Turbo so desirable. The Arctic Silver paint retains its deep metallic luster, with some minor rock chips on the front bumper and hood — honest signs of use on a car meant to be driven. Inside, the black leather interior shows light wear consistent with age, including gentle scuffing on the seats, but still offers the unmistakable Porsche feel of quality and purpose.

​

Mechanical Integrity

Mechanically, this Turbo is in excellent condition. A fresh oil change was just completed in preparation for the sale, ensuring it’s ready for its next enthusiast caretaker. The car starts, runs, and drives exactly as it should — tight, smooth, and with the kind of linear boost delivery that made the Mezger Turbo legendary.

​

The Experience

Owning this car isn’t just about performance numbers — it’s about what it represents. This 911 Turbo bridges the analog and digital worlds: raw, connected, and unapologetically engaging, yet refined enough for grand touring. It’s the kind of car that transforms an ordinary morning commute into something memorable — a reminder of how special true driver’s cars used to be.
