The 993 Turbo, introduced in mid-1995 as a 1996, continued to hold the torch of the most powerful 911 variant while continuing to improve the breed as a whole. Among the new features on the 993 Turbo was an electronically controlled viscous coupling all-wheel drive system—something Porsche had not offered on a turbocharged model since the 959 and a system that greatly improved the performance of the Turbo. Under the engine lid—now topped with a sculpted spoiler tail with downturned edges—resided the 3.6 liter flat six fed by twin KKK K16 turbos, each featuring integrated wastegates and two air-to-air intercoolers. Combined with bigger brakes, fatter tires, a wide body and stance, specially designed 'Technologie-Rad' cast alloy wheels with hollow spokes, the 993 Turbo was one of the fastest cars on the planet. With all four wheels tearing into the pavement, 0-60mph came in a face melting 3.7 seconds, 100mph ticked by in 5.7 seconds, and the forward progression continued until the speedometer had crossed 180mph. Beyond just going fast in a straight line though, the car could pull up to 1.00g on the skid pad and haul to a stop from 60mph in just 111 feet. In reviewing the 993 Turbo in June of 1995, Motor Trend magazine proclaimed, "To beat this Stuttgart screamer into submission requires a force no less wieldy than the million-dollar 627-horsepower V-12 McLaren F1."
This 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo was optioned with black metallic paintwork over a gray leather interior along with a 6-speed manual transmission. In addition to many of the standard options that 911 Turbos included, this example received a number of special touches through the Exclusive Program, designated by the 09991-option code. These special features included a host of carbon fiber components inside: carbon dashboard trim, carbon door trim panel, carbon shifter lever, and a carbon handbrake level. CD Storage behind the hand brake lever, stainless steel door entry guards with the Turbo logo, both driver’s and passenger’s heated seats, steel grey wheel caps, cruise control, an electric sunroof, a Nokia DSP (digital sound processing) audio system, and a CD-radio Becker Porsche CDR-210 system for the US.
The car’s first owner was located in North Carolina who had the car registered for the first time on November 15th, 1995. On December 17th, 1997 with 14,454 miles, the second owner was reported in Texas. This second owner, based in Dallas, Texas, would keep the car from 1997 until only recently, keeping the car for close to 23 years. During his 23-year ownership, he serviced the car annually himself and drove the car sparingly. Based on the condition inside and out, it takes no stretch of the imagination that the car was stored for most of its life and impeccably maintained and cared for.
When the car recently arrived at Canepa, the odometer had only seen 25,295 miles for the past 25 years of ownership. Being approximately 1,000 miles a year, the car presents in fantastic condition and looks and performs as if it only had a quarter of the miles. Without wasting time, the Turbo was given a complete mechanical inspection and servicing it as needed. Then it received a concours-level detailing top to bottom, ensuring that every surface was spotless and that each surface presented as new. Once the paint presented with a showroom-like gloss and the interior was spotless, the car was given a complete mechanical inspection and test drive. Satisfied with the car overall, Canepa is now proud to present this excellent 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo for sale. With a laundry list of special options from Porsche’s Exclusive Programme and longtime single ownership for the past 23 years, this is a fantastic example that represents the 911 Turbo name proudly.
