16k-Mile 2002 Porsche 911 Turbo 6-Speed

Description

“The new, fifth-generation 911 Turbo is not only the fastest-ever street-legal 911, it’s also the most refined,” wrote Car and Driver magazine in 2001. “Subjectively, this 911 feels closer in character to a big-capacity motorbike than a civilized supercar that weighs 3400 pounds... The 911 Turbo’s performance is simply intoxicating.” 

The 996-generation 911 Turbo (2001-2005) is one of those unique performance opportunities, especially among luxury automakers with devoted followings, that are few and far between. A well-regarded model that outperformed its relative value for far too long, the word is now out about the first water-cooled generation 911 Turbo’s startling power and performance figures. Featuring a 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque that drives all four wheels via a six-speed manual transaxle, 996 Turbos were one of the most potent and capable sports cars of its time yet with extraordinary refinement, an impressive feat even by today’s standards. 

Second chances are rare in life. Showing just 16,278 miles, this striking Arctic Silver Metallic 2002 Porsche 911 Turbo is one of those opportunities to experience the 996-generation Turbo in near showroom condition.
