EVO Magazine says: "The 911 Turbo is truly the stuff of legend. offering genuine supercar performance in a compact and practical package. In its early versions it was also infamous for its unforgiving handling. But the 996 version that appeared in 2000 was a different sort of animal. With four-wheel drive. a water-cooled engine. a smooth new bodyshell and radically updated cabin. it was a thoroughly sophisticated. all-weather. all-road supercar. And though it went out of production in 2005. in real terms it's still as quick as anything on the road. It's also a fantastically appealing second-hand buy. provided you're aware of the potential pitfalls.
Compared with the previous 993 model. the 996 represented a virtual redesign. Cosmetically. it moved Porsche on in many significant yet subtle ways: the lines were smoothed out. the windscreen was raked right back. the cabin was roomier and the facia finally looked like it had been styled. though some preferred the classic Porsche look. The structure managed the neat trick of being 45 per cent stiffer yet lighter than the older model. And the early 911 handling quirks were further ironed out. Unless you were absolutely determined to drive like an arse. the 996 Turbo was as surefooted as any 190mph. In short. it was the first of the modern 911 super cars.
The 996 generation was a particular milestone in being the first water-cooled 911. water cooling allowing an engine redesign that included four valves per cylinder. which achieved higher power outputs and much better fuel economy. But we need to clear one thing up immediately. Although the Turbo is water-cooled it's not the same engine that's in the regular 996s. The turbo engine can trace its ancestry back to the old air-cooled units and is directly related not only to the 996 GT3 but also the GT1 racer (3. 2 litres and 600bhp!). The other 996 engines were a completely different design and had gasket problems that could lead to catastrophic failures. but not so the Turbo. This engine is very strong and can be tuned up to well over 500bhp if the fancy takes you.

As standard the Turbo had 420bhp at 6000rpm. In 2002 you could order the X50 upgrade package. which pushed the output up to 450bhp with different turbos. intercoolers. ECU tune and a reinforced gearbox. The 2002 model. sometimes known as the mk2. also saw body revisions which increased stiffness. improving handling and crash safety.
