MOT: December 2025

  • Just 66,000 miles from new
  • Desirable UK-supplied 'C16' example fitted with 911 Turbo Aero Pack 'XAF'

  • Finished in Midnight Blue Metallic with a Graphite Grey leather interior

Introduced in 1999, the 996-generation of Porsche's evergreen 911 was faster, lighter and better handling than its predecessor. Perhaps best known for its switch from air to water-cooling, the newcomer had some well publicised engine woes. The exception to the rule was the Turbo variant which used an evolution of the Le Mans-winning Mezger flat-six. Displacing some 3.6 litres, this fearsome, forced-induction powerplant developed a quoted 414bhp and 413lbft of torque. Allied to either six-speed manual or five-speed Tiptronic transmission, it reputedly enabled the 2+2-seater to accelerate from 0-60mph in 3.9 seconds and on to 189mph. With four-wheel drive, Porsche Stability Management and brutally effective four-wheel ABS disc brakes, the flagship 911 was among the very fastest `A-to-B' cars that money could buy.

A product of the Porsche Factory Exclusive Programme, chassis 680357 was built to ‘C16’ (UK market) specification complete with Midnight Blue Metallic (L39C) paintwork, Graphite Grey full leather upholstery, upgraded BOSE stereo, hardbacked / heated Sports seats, White instrument faces, tinted windows, Litronic headlights and the preferred six-speed manual gearbox. Riding on correct-type ‘Turbo Twist’ hollow spoke alloys, the 2+2-seater also boasts the sought after ‘Aero Kit’ (jutting front spoiler, side skirts, fixed rear wing). Warranted to have covered a modest c.66,000 miles from new, the 996 Turbo has been serviced at 8,418, 18,500, 25,009, 27,074, 31,669, 38,533, 42,819, 43,199, 45,098, 46,620, 49,050, 54,694, 56,900, 57,091, 58,551, 59,160, 61,083 and 64,005 miles. The most recent invoice on file is from December 2024 with a Porsche Centre, where an oil service, MOT (until December 2025) and balancing of the wheels was carried out at a cost of £894.39. Still a phenomenally fast car and usefully more compact than its 992 equivalent, a well-sorted, manual transmission 996 Turbo is still a supercar to savour. Currently undergoing a cherished number plate transfer, this pampered Porsche is offered for sale with original book pack and sundry paperwork.
