THE PORSCHE TYPE 996

Within Porsche, evolution not revolution has ruled as the primary directive in the development of their various offerings over the course of the company's 80-year history. With the design of the latest 996 generation of the perennial 911 model, the platform would see its greatest single leap forward yet. Being the first clean sheet design since the original in 1965, Porsche was given the opportunity to greatly modernize their beloved, yet aged product. While the rear engine layout was retained, a fully water cooled flat six now powered the rear wheels. From a design perspective, the lines maintained the immediately recognizable 911 shape, but with a clean, succinct modern twist. Gone were the dual circular headlights of old with detached corner lights, instead a fully integrated lighting cluster formed the primary characteristic of the new Porsche face.

THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

Originally ordered by the owner of a St. Louis area Porsche dealership, the car would be used sparingly in its first term. To date, just a little over 10,000 miles show on the odometer and as a result, the 911 appears in remarkable condition. Free from major wear unlike most 996's, this example's interior appears to have not seen too many occupants over the years and is free from any sort of serious deterioration. Just 3 years ago, its most recent owner purchased the Turbo, and went about cleaning the car up. Furthermore, the hydraulic spoiler also received some mechanical servicing.

Featuring what must have been a wallet shrinking amount of options back in the 2000, the Turbo comes incredibly well appointed. With leather as far as the eye can see, even surrounding the ignition switch, and carbon fiber coating nearly every trim piece, this vehicle is an excellent display of how Porsche would've intended for every 911 leaving its factory doors. It is recommended to gander at the option tag affixed to the car, as it is truly extensive, and fully displays the extent of the specifications.

When it comes to collector quality Porsches, having a well optioned car ensures continued desirability going into the future. This is the perfect opportunity to get ahead of the market on this top of the range model for the 2001 model year.
