The Appeal

There had, of course, been 911s with forced induction before. The 996 Turbo was something new, a sorted and planted 911 that took some mastering, but was predictable and surefooted thanks to four wheel drive. Key to its appeal was a 420bhp 3.6L flat six derived from Porsche’s Le Mans GT1 racer.

This attractive dark blue metallic late model 2004 Turbo Convertible dials up the drama yet further with its uprated alloys and full body kit. Inside there is a well kept fully leather cabin with carbon trim that belies the car’s age and mileage.

The car has spent its life in the USA before arriving recently in Europe. It will make a potent car for long and short drives.
