2001 Porsche 996 Turbo

The Targa Terror

A chance to own a piece of Targa history that was campaigned by none other than “Gentleman” Jim Richards. This car won back to back Targa Tasmania events in 2001, 2002 and 2003, as well as Rally Tasmania 2002 and 2003 and is one of the best known competition Porsches in Australia.

An extensively campaigned car with a CAMS logbooks, this car has been continuously evolved and improved over its whole life. On top of the previous upgrades, the current owner invested upwards of $250,000 in the last 5 years to make this car one of the most comprehensive and capable targa/track cars in the market today. As an added bonus, this car runs full NSW registration to make ownership that bit easier.

With such an extensive history and options list there is far too much to list below, however some of the highlights are:

- Fully built engine with competition grade components.

- Currently running at 540hp at the wheels (dynograph upon request) on street/mild tune, the engine is built to reliably make 800hp+.

- Holinger AMFT sequential transaxle with pneumatic shifting (approximately $100K upgrade).

- Surface Transforms carbon-ceramic brake package.

- Competition multi-stage traction control system (adjustable for full wet through to full dry).

- Flex-fuel sensor.

- Cobra race seats and harnesses.

- Full CAMS spec roll-cage (front half removable for street use).

- OMP Steering Wheel.

- Rally safe tracking system.

- Stilo intercom (with Bluetooth connectivity).

This car is for the serious driver looking to campaign the car competitively or have the ultimate track day weapon with a comprehensively engineered drivetrain and setup for reliability and longevity.

This car has been maintained by PR Tech for many years with every component systematically upgraded with no expense spared.
