white 1999 996 with some very unusual factory options...

[m5steveo]

Hi, i'm very interested in a 996 i've seen for sale. Trouble is I can't quite figure out the spec, it's just too unusual for me to think it's legit.

Ok, the car is a 1999 white 996 with factory fitted options listed as: Uprated quaife LSD and gearbox, Uprated Suspension (either Turbo or GT3 - i havent seen the car yet to find out which), Uprated brakes (again either Turbo ir GT3) and Cup ECU. The car certainly sits a lot lower than any other 996 I've seen (!).

Obviously I know that any of these mods could have been done aftermarket but the owner swears these were all fitted at the factory. Is this possible and has anyone else seen a 996 with any of these options ? :huh:

Lastly the car also has a GT3 bodykit along with a huge carbon GT3RS rear spoiler. It has colour coded white seat backs and white stitching to the seats, cowling and steering wheel. It also has a lot of carbon fibre trim. I know these bits where available from the factory it's just the chassis, engine upgrades i'm dubious about.

Any help much appreciated.

cheers,

steve

None of the items you mention are factory installed options. They maybe actual Porsche parts but not factory installed.

Is the car a US car or ?

Use the our VIN decoder here to see what the car originally shipped as.

Then look under the front hood for the option codes sticker and you can look up the factory options here.

Hi Guys, thanks for the reply.

The car is in the UK, local to me. I'll view the car this week and be sure to write down the VIN and options codes under the hood.

Cheers,
