Porsche 911 / 966 Turbo 2000

Allmän beskrivning : Model History

In 2000, Porsche launched the turbocharged version of the 996 for the 2001 Model Year. As with the GT3, the new Turbo engine was derived from that used in the 911 GT1 and, like its predecessor the 993 Turbo, it featured twin-turbochargers. Also like its predecessor, the new Turbo was only available with all-wheel drive.

Equipment

Seal Grey Metallic paintwork, Nephrite Green leather upholstery, 18-inch hollow-spoke Turbo alloy wheels, 5-speed Tiptronic S transmission, Heated and electric Sports seats, Carbon fibre gearshift, Carbon fibre handbrake lever, PC1 satellite navigation, Porsche telephone handset, Cassette player, CD changer, Cruise control, Climate control AC, Electric sunroof, Electric windows, Heated and electric door mirrors, Bi-xenon headlights, Sports suspension, Red brake calipers, Alcantara headlining, Nephrite Green steering wheel with Millennium Edition silver Porsche crest, Door entry guards with ‘Turbo’ logo, Wheel centres with ‘Turbo’ logo, Nephrite Green Porsche overmats, Spare key, Porsche leather key fobs, Original sales brochure.

Exterior

This striking early example is finished in attractive Seal Grey Metallic with contrasting Nephrite Green upholstery. The paintwork presents in stunning condition with a deep, lustful shine and hardly a blemish in sight. There are very few stone chips at the front end and the bi-xenon headlights are crystal-clear with no hazing or discolouration to report. The car is entirely rust-free with absolutely no signs of bubbling in any of the usual 996 areas, and quite remarkably there is no unsightly road rash on either the sills or arches. Elsewhere, all the trims and plastics are absolutely first-rate, including commonly worn items such as the front splitter. A truly magnificent example looking every bit the low mileage of just 60k.

Interior

With eye-catching Nephrite Green adorning almost every surface, the interior of this low mileage Turbo is a spectacular place to be. Everything from the spotless carpets to the Alcantara headlining is green, and we love it. The car was also spec’d with the desirable Sports seat option along with a number of great features including the carbon fibre gear selector and complementing handbrake lever. Heated seats, cruise control, and the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system with a handy telephone are some of the other nice factory options.

Condition-wise the interior is very well presented indeed. The leather still feels really supple and, aside from some expected wrinkling to the driver’s outer bolster, the seats are fantastic. Being really picky there are a few light marks around the handbrake area but little else to detract from the cabin’s overall highly impressive finish. The rear seats still look new and the front luggage compartment is immaculate. Being an early car there is no glove box on the passenger side.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION

Reading through the paperwork it’s clear that this one has always been maintained to a high standard. There are 15 stamps in the original service booklet, 14 of which are from Porsche in Edinburgh and the last being from Autostore, a notable prestige dealer in Cambridge. The last service was carried out around 6k miles ago and, for the new keeper’s peace of mind, we have just had a full mechanical inspection carried out on arrival with us. The car has clearly never been thrashed, instead it has been owned by a small number of Porsche enthusiasts who have delighted in the Tiptronic system.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES

Filling the arches are the original 18-inch hollow spoke Turbo wheels, all in perfect unmarked condition having previously been refurbished to a very high standard; the correct Turbo centre caps are also immaculate. The wheels are shod in premium Continental tyres and the brakes remain in fine operational condition having been treated to new discs all round in September 2020. The red calipers present in their original finish and so do show some wear to the lacquer.

History File

First registered in June 2000 this lovely Tiptronic example is understood to be one of the very first 996 Turbos ever supplied to the UK. It has now driven just 60,392 miles in the hands of 6 registered keepers. Within the accompanying history file the lucky new owner will find the original leather Porsche wallet with all manuals, a thick raft of invoices and past MOT certificates, an original 996 UK launch sales brochure, a spare key, and the dealer-supplied maintenance booklet with 15 service stamps, as detailed below.

Varianter och evolution: Från de tidiga luftkylda modellerna till de mer moderna vattenkylda versionerna har 911 genomgått betydande tekniska framsteg och modellvariationer.
Porsche 914 (1969-1976):
Samarbete med Volkswagen: Gemensamt utvecklat med Volkswagen, Mid Engine 914, erbjöd ett mer prisvärt inträde i Porsche-ägandet.
Porsche 924/944/968 Series (1976-1995):
Frontmotormodeller: Dessa frontmotormodeller syftade till att locka en bredare publik och erbjuder en annan körupplevelse jämfört med bakmotorn 911.

Dess obevekliga strävan efter teknisk excellens och racing triumfer stelnade Porsches status som en av de mest vördade och ikoniska sporterna Biltillverkare globalt.
