This 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo is finished in black over black leather and powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.6L flat-six that drives all four wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes 18″ wheels, an adjustable Bilstein coilover suspension, a sunroof, power-adjustable front seats, cruise control, air conditioning, and a Pioneer stereo. The car was first registered in Connecticut, and spent time in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Texas before it relocated to California. It was previously listed on BaT in July 2019, and the current owner subsequently purchased the car and added approximately 1k of the 51k miles now shown. Service performed during current ownership included resealing the timing-chain boxes, a brake fluid exchange, an air-conditioning system service, and an oil change, as well as replacement of the front control arm bushings, crank sensor, rear CV Boots, engine belts, and hood shocks. This 993 Turbo is now offered on dealer consignment with recent service records, a tool kit, the removed factory stereo, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title.
The exterior is finished in black (L741) and is said to have been partially refinished during prior ownership to address a scratch. The Turbo differed visually from the standard 993 with its wider rear bodywork, revised front bumper cover, and fixed rear wing. This example features headlight washers, a sunroof, and a rear window wiper, and during current ownership the hood shocks, sunroof seal, and fog lights were replaced. The selling dealer states that a paint correction was performed and a ceramic coating was applied during current ownership, and photos of paint meter readings are provided in the gallery below.
Factory 18″ wheels wear Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires measuring 225/40 up front and 285/30 out back. Standard equipment on the Turbo includes red-finished brake calipers as well as cross-drilled and vented rotors all around. Height-adjustable Bilstein coilover shocks are fitted, and service during current ownership included a brake fluid flush, an alignment, and replacement of the front control arm bushings.
The cabin features power-adjustable front seats upholstered in black leather, which extends to the dashboard, rear seats, and door panel inserts. Additional amenities include air conditioning, cruise control, a Pioneer stereo, and a rootwood shift knob. The right-side HVAC heater blend flap has reportedly been replaced, and the air-conditioning system was recently serviced. The removed factory radio is included in the sale and shown in the gallery below.
Instrumentation set behind the leather-wrapped steering wheel consists of a central tachometer, 200-mph speedometer, and an analog clock, as well as combination gauges for monitoring fuel level, oil level, oil temperature, and oil pressure. The six-digit odometer shows 51k miles, approximately 1k of which were added by the current owner.
The twin-turbo 3.6L flat-six was rated for 408 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque when new. Maintenance completed within the last year included an oil change, resealing the timing-chain boxes, and replacement of the engine belts and the crank sensor. An engine start video is provided here.
Power is sent to all four wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle with a limited-slip differential, and the rear CV boots were replaced by the current owner. Additional underside photos are provided in the gallery below.
The underhood option tag decodes as follows:
- XC8 – Light rootwood shifter

The August 2020 Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists history in Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Texas, and California through its most recent entry in October 2019. There is currently a lien on the car, and the seller’s lender will need to be paid off before the title can be transferred to the next owner.
