2003 Porsche 911/966 TurboClean AutoCheck Vehicle History Report This is one fun car to drive, heads turn when you are cruzin down the road. This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION, IT WILL SELL!! My hardship is your gain, this is my personal vehicle which has been babied, sleeps in the garage under a cover, does not get to go out in the rain, it has also been taken care of, recently spent over 4k on full service, new brakes, clutch and slave cylinder. Recent professional detail and I have a two sets of keys. The fifth-generation 911 Turbo was not only the fastest-ever street-legal 911 in 2001; but it is also the most refined. Getting up to 125 miles an hour is utterly effortless in this all-wheel-drive sports car. And the urge to push the needle deeper, to tap into its extraordinary acceleration, is very difficult to resist. And you don't have to work the six-speed gearbox constantly to get that sensation. So broad and strong is the torque spread that even in the very tall sixth gear, you can summon real thrust. Above 70 mph you can leave the Turbo in high gear, forget the lower ratios, and still crush most rivals. Of course, dropping down a cog or two serves up even more blistering performance. Subjectively, this 911 feels closer in character to a big-capacity motorbike than a civilized supercar that weighs 3,400 pounds. Porsche has worked hard on the aerodynamics to produce a lift coefficient of minus 0.01 at the rear (slight downforce). In combination with the new 911's more predictable dynamics, the Turbo tracks dead straight above 150 mph and doesn't need as many corrections or quite the intense alertness of the previous model (also an all-wheel-drive car), let alone the wayward early cars. The water-cooled 24-valve 3.6-liter boxer is, in fact, a turbocharged version of the dry-sump 911 GT3/GT1 engine, rather than a blown and enlarged variant of the naturally aspirated 911's 3.4-liter powerplant. It shares the block, the pistons, and the camshaft's chain drive with the GT3 and uses the same head castings, smaller valves, and a different combustion-chamber shape. For the Turbo, Each turbo serves its own cylinder bank with up to 12.3 psi of intercooled boost. To cope with such high boost, the compression ratio drops to 9.4:1. Output is rated at 415 horsepower at 6000 rpm and, more significantly, 413 pound-feet of torque across a plateau from 2700 rpm to 4600. The boost is so progressive it's almost linear. It begins building at 1800 rpm, kicks a little at 2600, and delivers a fevered torrent of power all the way to the 6600-rpm redline and on to the 6750-rpm fuel cut-out. Porsche boasts that this Turbo offers 15 more horsepower than the old one. Porsche's conservative test numbers show a 4.2-second 0-to-62-mph time beats the previous Turbo's time by 0.3 second, and it beats the 911 GT3 by 0.6 second. Porsche also claims the new Turbo gets 18 percent better fuel economy than its predecessor. Porsche's VarioCam Plus system offers two intake timing positions rather than the infinitely variable setup of the GT3. Visually, the Turbo is easily the most radical of the 996-generation 911s. The wheel arches are swollen by 2.6 inches, a bi-wing is created by an active rear spoiler that rises 2.4 inches when the car reaches 75 mph (contributing to downforce), and air-inlet vents in the rear fenders feed air to the intercoolers. Vents reminiscent of the 959 supercar's are situated behind the rear wheels, adding to the Turbo's meaner, more squared-off appearance. The nose is rounder and longer to accommodate a third radiator and larger air intakes. These changes reportedly increase cooling capacity by 50 percent. The headlights, unique to the Turbo, arch down into the bumper and utilize xenon illumination for high- and low-beam lighting. Naturally, the new Turbo rides on the 911's optional Sport suspension. The Turbo's disc brakes are massive 13-inchers, cross-drilled and vented, with four-piston calipers at each corner. Standard is a wholly revised six-speed manual. In routine driving, just five percent of the power is delivered to the front wheels via a front-mounted viscous coupling, but front-wheel torque can increase to as much as 40 percent to discourage oversteer. This 911 Turbo is remarkably easy to drive and simply flies around corners. Just to approach the car's limits demands insanely high speeds, which eventually invoke Porsche's electronic stability control system (PSM). Even if you switch off the PSM, the system turns itself back on during braking, modulating each wheel individually to correct any loss of traction. PSM can't defeat physics, of course, but it provides the car with nearly drama-fee handling. Year 2003 Make Porsche Model 911 Turbo Details Engine: 6-cylinders Displacement: 220ci., 3,600cc.
