996 is the internal designation for the 911 model manufactured by Porsche between 1997 and 2006.
The Porsche 996 had little in common with its predecessor, and was the first all-new chassis platform since the launch of the first 911, as well as introducing a water-cooled engine for the first time. Technically it was a very big and innovative change from the original 911 design.
In terms of design, a lot has also changed, with the main changes being a slimmer body, with a steeper windshield and “starred egg” headlamps, so called due to the integrated amber turn signals, instead of the more vertical «beetle-type» headlamps. Also the interior has been completely redesigned.
Turbo versions of the 996 were unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1999. They use a 3.6-litre, water-cooled turbo-charged flat-6 engine derived from the one used in the Porsche 911 GT1 that won the Le Mans 24h in 1998. With 420 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 563 N⋅m of torque, four-wheel drive and, in this case, with the traditional 6-speed manual gearbox.
The Porsche 996 Turbo offered here was delivered on 24.04.2001 to its first owner by Hong Kong Jebsen Porsche dealer. For the next 20 years the vehicle was well cared for and that's why this 996 Turbo presents itself even today in a visually as well as technically pristine condition.
