The Model

In 2000, Porsche introduced the 996 Turbo, equipped with four-wheel-drive and a 3.6 litre, twin-turbocharged and intercooled flat-six engine derived from the GT1 race car producing 420bhp. In 2002, the X50 package was offered as an option to the Turbo that included larger K24 turbochargers and intercoolers. Performance for the standard 996 Turbo was phenomenal at the time and the X50 package cars were faster still with a 0 to 60 mph coming up in 4.0 seconds and a top speed of 192mph.

Available with either a 5-speed Tiptronic transmission or a 6-speed manual gearbox, we think the original owner ticked the better option box!
