This 2004 Porsche 911 Turbo cabriolet is finished in Speed Yellow over black full leather and was ordered with the X50 Turbo Power Kit as part of the car’s over $26k in exclusive options. It is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.6L flat-six that drives all four wheels via a six-speed manual transaxle. Modifications include an IPD intake plenum, an EVOMS intake, Bilstein PSS9 coilovers, Forge Motorsport intercooler piping, carbon-fiber interior trim, a Kenwood touchscreen stereo, a short-shift kit, and 18″ SSR GT3 multi-piece wheels. Other equipment includes a power-operated black soft top, a body-color removable hardtop, xenon headlights, and heated front sport seats with body-color shells. The seller acquired the car in 2023 and has since added approximately 1k of the 82k indicated miles. This 996 Turbo cabriolet is now offered with the window sticker, a DME report, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Georgia title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Speed Yellow (12H) with a power-operated black convertible soft top as well as a removable body-color hardtop. Other exterior details include xenon headlights and stainless-steel exhaust outlets as well as wider rear bodywork, rear air intakes, and revised bumper covers in comparison to the contemporary Carrera. The seller notes an issue with the deployable rear spoiler.
Aftermarket 18″ SSR GT3 multi-piece wheels are mounted with 225/40 front and 295/30 rear Michelin Pilot Sport N3 tires. Bilstein PSS9 coilover suspension was installed in May 2012, and the car is also equipped with Porsche Stability Management (PSM) and an automatic brake differential. Braking is from vented and cross-drilled rotors at all four corners paired with yellow-painted calipers, a $3,825 option.
The cabin features heated front sport seats upholstered in black leather that extends to the dashboard and door panels. The car was ordered with a body-color center console, front seat shells, and seatbelts, and carbon-fiber trim adorns the shifter, center armrest, door panels, and door sills. Other features include a short-shift kit, a Bose sound system, automatic climate control, and a Kenwood touchscreen stereo.
The leather- and carbon-fiber-rimmed steering wheel frames a 200-mph speedometer, a central tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 82k miles, approximately 1k of which were added under current ownership.
The twin-turbocharged 3.6L Mezger flat-six was factory equipped with the X50 Turbo Power Kit, which included revised engine management software and larger turbochargers and intercoolers for a factory rating of 444 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque. Modifications include an IPD Plenums intake plenum, an Evolution Motorsports (EVOMS) air-intake system, and Forge Motorsport intercooler piping. Records indicate that the coolant pipes have been welded, the left turbocharger was replaced in 2012, and the engine mounts were replaced in 2020.
Power is sent to all four wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle. A Sachs Stage 2.5 clutch kit and a replacement dual-mass flywheel were installed in May 2020 at which time the driveshaft flex joint and crankshaft seal were replaced.
The window sticker notes initial delivery to Inskip Porsche of Warwick, Rhode Island, and lists factory equipment, colors, options, and a total price of $157,860. A battery tender and service records dating back to 2007 are also included in the sale.
The Carfax report is free of accidents or other reported damage.
