First unveiled in September 1999, Porsche’s new 996-generation Turbo featured all-wheel drive and a new water-cooled 420 horsepower engine derived from the spectacular 911 GT1 race car. Both attributes were instrumental in the car achieving a 0 to 100 km/h time of just 4.2 seconds and a top speed of 305 km/h.

This magnificent early production version was originally ordered by former Porsche factory driver Paul-Ernst Strähle, whose illustrious racing career included an overall 2nd-place finish in the 1959 Targa Florio as well as class wins in the Mille Miglia, Nürburgring 1000 kms, and at the place of his great 1959 triumph, the Circuito delle Madonie. Finished in the eye-catching colour of Gelb Orange—similar to the 914/6 GT that Strähle had once raced—the car was specified with driver and passenger bucket seats, a race-specification roll-cage, electronic air conditioning, and with its rear seats omitted. Duly delivered to Herr Strähle’s eponymous Porsche dealership on 28 July 2000, he covered approximately 8,500 kilometres in the car before its sale later that year.

With its most recent service coming less than 2,000 kilometres ago—and offering a fascinating backstory with unique specification—chassis “681143” remains among the most distinctive of all 996 Turbos and undoubtedly warrants close inspection by any committed Porsche aficionado.

Dévoilée en septembre 1999, la Porsche Turbo de la nouvelle génération 996 était dotée d'une transmission intégrale et d'un nouveau moteur à refroidissement liquide de 420 ch, issu de la spectaculaire 911 GT1 de compétition. Ces deux caractéristiques permettaient à cette voiture d'accélérer de 0 à 100 km/h en 4,2 secondes et d'atteindre 305 km/h en pointe.

Ce magnifique exemplaire datant du début de la série a été commandé neuf par Paul-Ernst Strähle, ancien pilote Porsche d'usine dont le glorieux palmarès comportait une deuxième place au classement général de la Targa Florio 1959 ainsi que des victoires de catégorie aux Mille Miglia, aux 1000 Km du Nürburgring et sur les lieux de son triomphe de 1959, le circuit des Madonies, en Sicile. Affichant une spectaculaire couleur "Gelb Orange" — identique à la 914/6 pilotée par Strähle lors d'une compétition — la voiture a été commandée avec des sièges baquets pour le pilote et le passager, un arceau de sécurité homologué compétition, une climatisation électrique, et dépourvue de sièges arrière.

Livrée le 28 juillet 2000 au garage Porsche de Paul-Ernst Strähle, la voiture a parcouru entre les mains de son propriétaire quelque 8 500 km avant d'être vendue plus tard dans l'année.

Avec une dernière révision effectuée il y a moins de 2 000 km — et riche d'un historique fascinant et de spécifications uniques — cette voiture (châssis 681143) est une des plus spécifiques de toutes les 996 Turbo et mérite indiscutablement d'être examinée de près par tout véritable amateur de Porsche.
