Porsche 911 996 Carrera Cabriolet X51 (2004)
Kickdown's Take
by Moritz HelbichThis 996 Cabriolet is a highly sought-after and rare 911 featuring the X51 factory performance upgrade. This performance upgrade to 345 hp was extremely expensive at the time and is consequently in high demand among collectors today. The Porsche is also equipped with a manual transmission featuring shortened shift travel, extensive carbon fiber interior trim, and a Bose sound system. A 996 with top-of-the-line features in excellent condition!

Comments of this past auction
Liebe Bieter, der Verkäufer hat sich von Porsche bestätigen lassen, dass die X51-Leistungssteigerung im Porsche-System vermerkt ist. Damit handelt es sich um eine offizielle Porsche-Leistungssteigerung. Es gibt einen Screenshot aus dem Porsche-System, diesen laden wir hoch und er ist in den Dokumenten zu finden (Bild 198). Beste Grüße, Kickdown Team
Hallo. Um eine einigermaßen belastbare Basis zum Mitbieten zu erhalten, sollten die Fragen vom Verkäufer doch bitte beantwortet werden. Scheinbar ist das mit der X51-Leistungssteigerung auch anderen potenziellen Bietern aufgefallen. Danke vorab!
Hallo, Sie schrieben, dass das Fahrzeug eine X51 Leistungsteigerung hat. Diese sei original und von Porsche bestätigt. Auf dem Optionsaufkleber ist das X51 Paket nich vermerkt. Also ist die Leistungssteigerung nachträglich verbaut worden. Gibt es eine schriftliche Bestätigung von Porsche über den fachgerechten Einbau / Orginalität?
Technik: Der 996 ist das erste Modell der 911-Baureihe mit einem wassergekühlten Motor und (nach dem 1996 eingeführten Porsche Boxster) das zweite Porsche-Modell mit einem Boxermotor ohne Luftkühlung. Porsche gab 1997 dieses fünfzig Jahre lang verwendete Konzept endgültig auf. LG Tom
Hallo, es steht, das original Sportfahrwerk von Porsche sei verbaut, dies müsste aber den Ausstattungscode M030 haben. Wurde das Sportfahrwerk später verbaut? Wie alt sind die Reifen? Gibt es Bilder vom Unterboden, die man bekommen könnte? Gibt es Korrosion an den Kanten der Einstiegsleisten sowie am Türscharnier? Danke vorab!
Wir haben die Fragen weitergeleitet und warten auf eine Antwort. Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Danke!
Im Kombiinstrument blicken die beiden Digitalanzeigen: km/h und Uhrzeit auch während der Fahrt. Seit wann existiert der Fehler und wurde das Kombiinstrument geprüft?
Bin mir ziwmlich sicher, dass es an der dem Verhältnis zwischen Hz des Dispalys und der Bildrate des Videos liegt. Dann kann es auf dem Video so aussehen, als würde es flackern und man denkt es gibt einen Fehler. Würde auch dafür sprechen, weil das Foto in der Galerie die Displays normal zeigt. Ist meine Vermutung 👋🏻
