I think we have been looking at a bit a of a bubble with all Porsches over the last few years that even the 996 got dragged in to. I think we can expect prices to drop a bit, before going up again for the actually low mileage and interesting colour combo 996's
It’s crazy cause I just watched the gt350 video struggle to do 300 with 520hp! I don’t get how these German cars always reach very high top speeds with lower hp.
@@jonasbaine3538The latest Gt350 weighs about 225 kg more than this 996 Turbo, has the motor in the front and the 520hp are likely measured at the engine not the wheels. 15% drivetrain loss would put the Gt350 from 533 to just 453. So basically same power output (although porsche usually underrates their cars) but the gt350 is heavier, bigger, less aerodynamic and the porsche has all the weight at the back not the front. So yeah not really a surprise if you ask me
power to weight, and a very good tune can go a long way. Most people just don't realize how fast 300 to 500 horsepower is these days because of how under tuned most stock cars that "come with" 300 or more horsepower are, along with them being very common as well in newer cars. And also the porsche 996 turbo was kind of built centered around just how much top speed they could suck out of it. Hope this was informative and wish you the best of days
There’s a quote in the car community that “Porsche power” is very different to normal power in other cars. Generally, the rule of thumb is that BHP is equivalent to WHP for most Porsche 911 Turbo’s.
Back in 2000 Auto Motor und Sport made a topspeed event in Papenburg, Germany where the brand-new, "stock" 420 hp 996 Turbo managed a two-way average topspeed of 313 km/h (its claimed figure was 305). Later, in their single test a different testcar reached 307, so this 310 for the more powerful version is very accurate. :)
it was the 996 turbo with revised mapping and k24 turbos, it was a power option package, basically a "turbo s" before they actually released the 996 turbo s, I tuned mine to 575 hp easily with decat and tune, also with wheels and exhaust its exceptional looking and sounding
That's a very healthy 450 hp.
All those 450hp are at the back, right above rear axel. It's Porsche.
Also extremely slippery. Once you get over 200 it matters alot.
Small car
The value of these 996 turbo manuals are only going to go up over the years.
Not so loud 🤫

310 GPS Topspeed with 450 HP, what a great car! :)
Porsche power,
Given how conservative they tend to be with numbers, possibly 450 hp at the wheels, so we can expect some 500hp or above at the flywheel.

@@jonasbaine3538 They're specially attentive to aerodynamic coefficient, for example...built to cut through the air like a hot knife through butter.

450hp?
These are very fast horses, I presume.
Wtf are you talking about

Great car, very underrated.
One of my dream cars
The scene cut right when you were shouting Godver***** when the GoPro fell had me laughing out loud 😄
I hoped to see X50 manual here at some point. Thank you for the video!🎉
1:56 GODVERDOMME! 🤣
Manual Porsche 👌
I really like how Porsche puts in a ton of torque in their cars.
Looks like an absolute riot to drive. What a car !
Manual 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Damn that older Porsche can move.
Just beautiful
1:38 You don't even flinch!! Hell, I thought the steering wheel fell off...
The guy is going 300 km/h, what did you expect him to let go of the steering wheel and scream or something?
310 km/h with room to spare.
my heart's racing from just watching
Nice launch ! god damn !
Dude this car is one of those cars that ya just ….want.
Finally a 6 SPD. Wicked cars
gosh I had one of these...... Matt Farah drove it on one takes too.... my friend has it now, cool car
what does the X50 stand for? Seems like a normal 996 Turbo to me.
power package option, rare and nice k24 turbos
+30HP
X50 on 996 Turbo is the same as 996 Turbo S. At first you could not buy Turbo S. That came later. So the only option was x50 pack 😊
@@nali9345 Ah thx.
I have a tuned X50. Fantastic car.
Mag ik deze een keer lenen

What’s X50? Any special edition?
it was the 996 turbo with revised mapping and k24 turbos, it was a power option package, basically a "turbo s" before they actually released the 996 turbo s, I tuned mine to 575 hp easily with decat and tune, also with wheels and exhaust its exceptional looking and sounding
@@Nyx_88888 awesome! Thanks for the info.
Que carro foda!
fortnite
First
So reach 500 kmh will no drag ?
@@szymon6207 I don´t know what you are trying to say but I meant to say that I am the first comment
It is a powerful, fast, and fantastic car!🏁
However, when purchasing a Porsche 996, make sure to choose a later model.
