This 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo is a Rest-of-World coupe that was modified in the style of a 993 911 GT2 by AP Car Design of Göttingen, Germany in the 2020s. The car has been repainted yellow and fitted with an aluminum hood and doors along with a three-piece front spoiler, a GT-style rear wing, and riveted fenders. Power is provided by a twin-turbocharged, twin-plug flat-six that was overhauled and modified to displace 3.8-liters, and all four wheels are driven through a six-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. It rides on 18? BBS three-piece wheels in addition to adjustable Bilstein coilovers, GT2-specification front disc brakes, and front and rear anti-roll bars. Inside, the cockpit has been fitted with a pair of Recaro bucket seats as well as a Matter roll cage, while the factory automatic climate control, power windows, and CD stereo are retained. This GT2-style 993 Turbo is now offered on dealer consignment in California with manufacturer’s literature, build photos, previous German registration documents, and a clean Colorado title.
