This 2002 Porsche 996 Turbo Coupe comes finished in the rare shade of Zanzibar Red Metallic over a Black full leather interior and features a 6-speed manual transmission. It has undergone extensive performance upgrades including a rear-wheel drive conversion, Sachs Stage 2 clutch, Europipe exhaust, European Motor Werks tune, a GT3 gearbox, GT2-style spoiler, KW coilovers, 997 BBS widebody wheels, and much more. Previously listed on PCARMARKET, this 996 is being offered for auction by its seller out of California with approximately 100k miles on the odometer.
The 996 Turbo model is defined by distinct model-specific bumpers, wide fenders with side air intakes, and flared rocker panels. This example, featuring a Zanzibar Red Metallic finish, has been fitted with an aftermarket GT2-style carbon fiber rear spoiler and enhanced with KW coilover suspension and 997 BBS wheels dressed in Michelin Pilot Sport tires. The seller notes the front bumper underwent a repaint to its original color after 21 years from its initial production. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin showcases Black full leather upholstery with aluminum trim accents. It comes equipped with a Pioneer CD media player faceplate and Black floor mats with Porsche lettering. All gauges, electronics, and accessories are reported to be in proper working order.
Power is derived from a twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter Mezger flat-six engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The seller adds that a rear-wheel drive conversion has been performed and the car produces approximately 580 HP. Recent maintenance, conducted by Auto Strasse in Newport Beach, included a full inspection, fresh fluids, and an oil change. The seller has listed the following performance upgrades:
This sale will include the owner’s manuals, a set of stock 18” 996 Turbo Twist OEM wheels, the original front differential, and a clean title.

I looked up HRE C21 and that's the wheels in photo 104. Funny all the pictures show a different wheel except the last few. And what tires are on those wheels? Are the 5 spoke available for a swap or what. Lot of confusion here at the end.
@seller
To clarify, do the wheels in photo 103 or 104 come on the car along with the turbo twist?
Bid in the amount of $35,000

IMO, the 5-spoke wheels in the majority of the photos are my personal favorite. Are those no longer available?

Is there a DME report?
