The X50 Performance Package transformed the 996 Turbo into an even more formidable machine, elevating its power output from 415 to 450 bhp and torque from 415 to 457 ft-lbs. This was achieved through larger K24 turbochargers, upgraded intercoolers, a revised ECU, and a quad-pipe exhaust system. The result was a sharper, more responsive driving experience with reduced turbo lag, a top speed increase to 192 mph, and a 0-60 mph time cut to just 4.1 seconds.

This 2002 911 Turbo Coupe 6-Speed was a remarkably well-preserved example finished in Carrara White over a Black Natural Leather interior with just 5,400 miles on the odometer. It came equipped with Porsche’s X50 package along with an impressive 14 “X-Code” extras, including premium leather and carbon fiber trim throughout the cabin. Accompanied by its original window sticker, books, and $7,000+ in recent service work, this pristine 996 Turbo also retained its original factory paintwork, as verified by paint meter - making it a standout example for any serious 996 lover.

Over the past twelve months, 996 Turbo Coupes have hovered around the $65,000 mark with a low of just $33,835 and a high of $120,000 for a 4,900-mile X50-equipped example that sold in June of last year. And while that example was nice, it wasn’t this car. Carrara White paint, low miles, and a hefty options list pushed our Spotlight car to a new twlve-month high at $173,600*. Not bad for fried eggs.
