Exceptional Porsche 911 (996) C4S Coupe Manual

Finished in stunning Polar Silver with a contrasting Black Leather interior, this cherished Porsche 911 (996) C4S Coupe Manual is presented in exceptional condition. A true blend of performance, reliability, and aesthetic appeal, this example has been meticulously maintained and enhanced to deliver an unparalleled driving experience.

Investment & Ownership:
Originally purchased for £25, 000 in August 2021, a further £25, 000 has been invested in preventative maintenance, upgrades, and performance enhancements. The result? A 996 C4S that not only looks fantastic but drives like a dream, with common ownership concerns fully addressed and the car optimised for spirited road and track use.

Comprehensive Maintenance & Performance Upgrades:

Engine & Performance Enhancements:
- Engine-out service by renowned Porsche specialist RPM Technik
- New clutch & flywheel for smooth and precise gear changes
- IMS bearing & RMS (Rear Main Seal) replacement for long-term reliability
- Air Oil Separator (AOS) & oil cooler replaced
- Over-engine and coolant pipes replaced for optimal engine cooling
- IPD Competition Air Intake Plenum & Bosch 82mm Throttle Body fitted
- Upgraded 997. 1 (3. 6) air intake box for improved response

Exhaust System & Sound:
- RPM CSR Performance Manifolds professionally installed
- Brand-new FVD Brombacher exhaust system, featuring:
- Brombacher Edition Sport Muffler Set
- 200 Cell X-Design Sport Catalytic Converters
- All four oxygen sensors replaced

Result: A thrilling exhaust note, deep RSR like tones at idle, a raspy motorsport inspired sound at high revs, and a GT3 Cup-style roar under full load, all with no intrusive cabin drone.

Suspension & Handling Upgrades:
- Bilstein B16 PSS10 Coilover Kit for adjustable ride height & 10-stage damping
- New coffin arms, drop links & worn bushes replaced
- Fast Road Geometry setup using Manthey Racing equipment
- Numeric Racing Short Shifter Kit for a bolt-action, ultra-precise gear change

Power & Tuning Gains:
Following these upgrades, the car underwent extensive tuning at Torque Developments International, optimising performance across the rev range. This process, costing £1, 380, resulted in a significant power increase above the stock power of 320 BHP (Approx. 250-260 Wheel Horse Power due to AWD drivetrain losses)

Porsche typically quotes engine (crankshaft) horsepower, which is measured at the flywheel rather than at the wheels. This means the horsepower figures they provide do not account for drivetrain losses, which can reduce the power that actually reaches the wheels.

Post Tuning Power: 308 Wheel Horse Power (WHP)

Estimated Flywheel Power:
- 376 BHP (at 18% drivetrain loss)
- 395 BHP (at 22% drivetrain loss)

This means the car now delivers power comparable to a 996 Turbo, offering an exhilarating and highly responsive driving experience.


Additional Enhancements:
- New windscreen for improved visibility
- New rear lights enhancing the car's aesthetic appeal
- New battery for electrical reliability
