About this car
This 2003 Porsche 911 Carrera Turbo presents in Speed Yellow over Black leather, combining the classic 996-generation design with a significant Vivid Racing turbo conversion on its 3.6L H6 engine. The all-wheel-drive coupe delivers over 400 horsepower to the rear wheels through its six-speed manual transmission, achieving a gain of 130 horsepower and 150 ft-lbs at the wheels on just 5.5 psi of boost while producing an aggressive GT3-like exhaust note.
With only 26,769 miles, the car rides on new Toyo Proxes tires sized 235/35/ZR19 front and 315/25/ZR19 rear, mounted to custom three-piece wheels. The Vivid Racing complete Porsche 996 Carrera Turbo kit transforms the C4S platform into a machine faster than a standard 996 Turbo, backed by all service records, two keys, and complete documentation.
Factory equipment includes the Xenon Headlamp Package, Heated Front Seats, Bose High End Sound Package, and Automatic Full Climate Control System, all preserved in virtually perfect condition with a clean Carfax and AutoCheck report showing no accidents.

The Porsche 911 Carrera 996, produced from 1997 to 2006, marks the fifth generation of the iconic 911 lineup and was a significant shift for the model with its water-cooled engine, departing from the traditional air-cooled design. Approximately 175,000 units were produced worldwide across various trims, making it one of the more accessible generations for collectors, though specific variants remain rare. The base Carrera featured a 3.4-liter flat-six engine, later upgraded to 3.6 liters, delivering between 296 and 320 horsepower depending on the model year. Performance highlights include a 0-60 mph time of around 5 seconds for the Carrera and a top speed nearing 174 mph.
For exotic car collectors, the 996 offers intrigue with limited editions like the Carrera 4S and the 40th Anniversary Edition (2004), which are sought after for their unique styling and performance tweaks. While initially less favored due to its design changes, the 996 has seen rising value in recent years, particularly for well-maintained, low-mileage examples and rare variants like the GT3. Its historical significance lies in bridging Porsche’s classic era with modern engineering, making it a pivotal model in the 911’s evolution.
