    About the car:

    What we have here is a Porsche that is a paint to sample one of one which originally was $133k combined with about over $100k in receipts. This car is a no holds barred monster. It is a teleportation machine. You lean into throttle at around 2500 RPM and you hear the instant whistles of the hybrid turbos and suddenly the sea of power transports you to a different place and time regardless of what gear you are in. There is no less than 494 AWHP and 580 AWTQ available at your command on 91 octane (extensive dyno graphing included). The car is a monster just like a 997.2 GT2 RS would be but with AWD. This car is made for the track. The transmission is built and bulletproof, as is the motor with welded coolant fittings, large GT2 RS intercoolers, Moton adjustables and every upgraded suspension component known to man.
    This car will destroy most street and track cars for a fraction of what it would take to reproduce. Priced to sell only to someone who recognized how well appointed this car is.

    Price reduced to $89K. PM me or email me at [email protected] to arrange a showing / PPI / Shipping.

    Simply WOW. What a rare opportunity. RUF is a magic word in Porsche-ville. This example is amazing. I cannot imagine what the reproduction cost might be on this. This is a 200 mph autobahn rocket. Makes a GT2 look like a toy. GLWS.

    Beautiful car. Color is very close to Ferrari's Azzurro Monaco. Looks as good on the Porsche as it does on my 360.

    Thanks future. Azzuro Monaco is very close. It just depends on the lighting. One off colors from the factory are what dreams are made of. It's another level of emotional attachment for us owners

    This is a great car but suffers the challenge with selling all modded cars. You have to find someone who wants EXACTLY what you have done AND is willing to pay for it. To many buyers, modifications diminish value, rather than enhance it.

    I've had cars that I've modded languish on the market for just that reason. Then there is the factor that many guys want unmolested cars. I've learned to keep the old parts and return to stock.

    I think this would be a great car to have, but not at this price.

    Dino, I totally agree with your point. This car is geared towards someone who wants a one of one.

    It's a buyer that will recognize the base stock form value of the car somewhere in the 60's. And then add up how much entry level mods would cost ($5k entry level coilers installed, $3-4k decent exhaust installed, Tune and small turbo kit with no other supporting mods $7-8k, Clutch $3k installed) $18k-$20k. That's well into the $80's for far less mods then what you see here (by a large margin).

    I agree with you 100%, except that 996TTs can be had all day with the same miles for low 40s.

    You may want to look closer to the 2014 996TT market. They have up-ticked to the point where a compared car to mine in Black or Silver with the same options and miles trades right around $47-52k. The color does matter as do all of the other upgrades. Maybe not to all but it's a special car. Whether I drive it to starbucks or to car events, it breaks necks regardless.

    I agree--I've never really been into the 996s, but this one is spectacular looking.

    Your car is incredible and I love the color. I agree with the others that yeah it will take a special buyer but I don't think you have priced it unreasonably. I wish I were looking for a car like this. I wish you GLWS.

    Beautiful car.




    Sorry, I can't help myself.

    I think the phrase is "ado" as in Shakespeare's "Much ado about nothing."

    'adieu' means 'good bye."

    Thanks and yes it should be "ado". I blame autocorrect for this error.

    Thanks for all the comments. Considering the following:

    -Return to stock K16 turbos, intercoolers, stock suspension, turbo twists, big red brakes and list for $60k in over the winter

    -Reduce price as it sits to $76k

    Any takers at either price point?
