From the outside, this 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera looks just like any other. However, it is actually powered by a 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine and is up for sale.
This 996-gen 911 Carrera originally left the factory with a 3.4-liter naturally aspirated flat-six pumping out 300 hp and 258 lb-ft, but the seller decided to replace it with an LS3 V8 roughly 5,000 miles ago. This new engine is good for 495 hp and 473 lb-ft of torque and is coupled to the standard Porsche six-speed manual transmission.

The new engine is far from the only change made to the car. To support the V8, the 911 also features an upgraded cooling system as well as an electric water pump, electric power steering, Eibach springs and sway bars, Bilstein B8 Performance Plus struts, and Flowmaster mufflers.
The owner also finished the factory 18-inch wheels in black Plasti Dip and installed Litronic headlights, a GT2-inspired rear wing, tinted windows, Corbeau FX1 Pro seats, Simpson Racing six-point harnesses, a DAS Sport roll bar, UniWerks Design ball bearing short shifter, oil temperature gauge, and a quick-release fire extinguisher. There’s also a new infotainment system running Android.
Cars & Bids adds that the car has a clean Carfax report and has been registered in Alabama and Florida since new. While the engine only has 5,000 miles on the clock, the chassis has been driven 135,400 miles.
