About this car
This 2001 Porsche 911 Turbo pairs Polar Silver Metallic paint with a Boxster Red Special Leather interior and shows just 17,361 miles. Powered by a 3.6L H6 engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission and all-wheel drive, the coupe delivers the signature Turbo experience in a low-mileage example.
The cabin was specified with supple leather throughout, Porsche crests embossed in the headrests, a carbon-and-leather three-spoke steering wheel, carbon-and-aluminum shifter and handbrake, plus carbon trim on the center vents, dashboard molding, and lower instrument cluster. Additional equipment includes xenon headlights, power comfort seats with driver memory, self-dimming mirrors with rain sensor, cruise control, a rear wiper, and the deletion of the front bumperettes.
Further distinguishing this example is equipment commissioned through Porsche’s Special Wishes Program, setting it apart from more conventionally optioned Turbos of the era.

The Porsche 911 Turbo (996 generation) was produced from 2001 to 2005 as part of the 996 lineup, marking the first water-cooled Turbo model in the 911 series. Approximately 20,000 units were built worldwide across its variants, making it less rare than some earlier Turbo models but still desirable among collectors for its transitional significance in Porsche’s engineering history. It is powered by a 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engine, delivering 415 horsepower in standard form, with later S variants reaching up to 450 horsepower. Performance highlights include a 0-60 mph time of around 4.2 seconds and a top speed nearing 190 mph, showcasing its supercar credentials at the time.
For exotic car collectors, the 996 Turbo stands out due to its relative affordability compared to newer 911 Turbos, though values have been appreciating, often ranging between $50,000 and $80,000 for well-maintained examples as of recent market trends. Special editions like the Turbo S, available in coupe and cabriolet forms, add to its appeal with enhanced performance and exclusivity. Its historical significance lies in bridging Porsche’s air-cooled past with modern technology, while features like all-wheel drive and advanced aerodynamics remain noteworthy.
