No kidding. There was my funny read for the day. But, between the lines, with it maybe being a "3.8".........could this engine have been busted down and modified somewhere along the way? (God forbid if it IS a 3.8, and they did it with slip-in cylinders.)

Despite our source claiming a 3.8, chances are it's still a 3.6, so we've edited the article accordingly.

Where did you get 560 HP? Those are standard US bumpers for the TTS.

For $450k I would prefer it to be stock power output... A modded 993tts with 11k miles is not going to bring top money.

I love it!
The color combo is interesting but not ugly.

$450k is too rich for my blood. Wouldnt be able to drive it on a routine basis.

But somebody will pay $400k range for it. The porsche market is hot. Even a non porsche buyer would buy this assuming it is a holy grail or something...

I really like it.

Sold for about $420k including commission. It is in the range of the Ocean jade car at Goodings earlier. The market on 993s has cooled a little but certainly not tanking.
