1996 Porsche 993 Turbo

This 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.6L flat-six that drives all four wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle with a limited-slip differential. The car is finished in Arena Red Metallic over Cashmere Beige leather and features 18″ Turbo Twist wheels, fog lights, a fixed rear spoiler, a power-operated sunroof, power-adjustable front seats, and automatic climate control. It was sold new in California and was owned by actress Patricia Arquette before it spent time in Idaho and was exported to Alberta, Canada in 2004. This 993 Turbo is now offered on dealer consignment with service records, a tool kit, US and Canadian Carfax reports, and an Alberta registration document. The 993 Turbo featured wider bodywork, revised bumper covers, and a fixed rear spoiler to accommodate top-mount intercoolers when compared with the standard 993 Carrera coupe. This example was repainted in Arena Red Metallic in 2007 and features headlight washers, integrated fog lights, a power sunroof, a rear window wiper, dual polished exhaust outlets and front and rear bumperettes. Turbo Twist 18″ alloy wheels are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport tires measuring 225/40 in front and 285/30 at the rear. The car features an Automatic Brake Differential (ABD), and the 993 was the first 911 to feature multi-link rear suspension. Braking is provided by Porsche-branded four-piston calipers over cross-drilled rotors. Modifications include a strut tower brace in the front trunk and Bilstein coilovers with H&R springs. The seats are trimmed in supple Cashmere Beige leather, with color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Amenities include power-adjustable front seats, aluminum pedals, a leather-wrapped dashboard, a CD stereo, black turbo-branded floor mats, cruise control, air conditioning, and stainless-steel turbo door sills. The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation including a central tachometer, a 200-mph speedometer, an analog Quarz clock, and gauges for oil pressure, oil temperature, oil level, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 43k miles miles, approximately 22k of which were added under current ownership. The twin-turbocharged 3.6L flat-six was factory rated at 400 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque. An oil change was completed in preparation for the sale., and additional work completed in the last three years included service to address an oil leak and replacement of the the turbochargers, a rear main seal service, and a rebuild of the top-end of the engine and the cylinder heads. Power is sent to all four wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle with a limited-slip differential. A Fabspeed exhaust system was installed in March 2006. The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists registration history in California, Idaho, and Alberta, Canada. A copy of the Canadian Carfax report is provided in the gallery below.
