2004 Porsche 911 40th Anniversary Edition

Description

What's more valuable than a Porsche? How about a special edition that offers unique features and more horsepower! This 2004 Porsche 911 40th Anniversary Edition is an exclusive Carrera with special paint, more power, performance suspension, and a unique Turbo appearance. Best of all, this low-mileage collectable has been kept in the excellent condition a limited edition like this deserves.

Take a good look at the original paint. It's a shade called GT Metallic Silver, and it's a color reserved specially only for this anniversary car and the famed Carrera GT supercar. You'll also notice the special front end, which is adapted from the 911 Turbo and given unique colored slats. In the rear is an exclusive aluminum 911 script. All of this combined tells you how great Porsche is about celebrating a milestone by subtly making all the right upgrades. Beyond the unique look is the iconic evolutionary design that has made the 911 one of the most celebrated automotive icons. But just because it's classically designed doesn't mean it's lacking in modern features such as bi-xenon headlights with dynamic beam angle control and special 18-inch polished alloy wheels.

German cars are some of the best at ergonomics, and the 996 proves it the moment you sit in the contoured gray leather bucket seats. Thoroughly modern, comfortable enough to drive every day, and still aimed at enthusiastic drivers, it's everything you'd expect from one of the world's most storied marques. The three-spoke sports steering wheel give a clear view to the full gauge package (the tach is the most prominent piece in these competition-inspired Porsches.) The shifter falls easily to hand and slips through the gears with race-car-like precision. Just ahead of that, you'll notice the commemorative plaque listing this car as #0525 of the 1,963 worldwide production run. As expected from a limited edition premium coupe, this one come loaded. It includes features like power seats, power windows, power locks, keyless entry, cruise control, power steering, sunroof, and ice-cold air conditioning. A modern classic also means modern safety features such as dual front air bags, side air bags, and ABS. Bose powers the AM/FM/CD stereo, so you know you can hear it even when the motor is making it joyful noise, too.

The original 3.6-liter is key to this special edition package. It has been tuned to make 25 more horsepower than the standard '04 Carrera for a grand total of 345. That makes this anniversary model a tenth of a second faster to 60 mph and one second quicker to 120 mph than a standard coupe. The six-speed manual keep you connected with the precision machine, and the upgraded sport suspension and Porsche Stability Management make sure you maximize your experience behind the wheel. Add in four-wheel vented disc brakes and Continental Extreme Contact tires, and this is a limited edition that's truly an unbeatable package.

Complete with owner's manual and maintenance records, as well as averaging less than 1,900 miles over the last dozen years, this has always been treated as a true collectable. They only made 1,963 of these (get it? The 911 debuted in 1963) so finding an anniversary model in this condition is a true rare find. Premium rarity has never been so affordable. Call today!!!
