The Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 is a rare modern classic supercar, and even more special among those are cars fitted with the hallowed ‘X88’ power package. You can therefore imagine the buzz among our team in bringing to market not only one of these remarkable performance cars, but the example belonging to 2009 Formula One World Champion, Jenson Button.
Jenson’s Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6 was originally a special order for the Sultan of Brunei, equipped at the factory with the ‘X88’ power package that boosts output to 380bhp. It is the only X88 package car painted in the eye-catching Horizon Blue colour, while the interior is trimmed in Marine Blue leather.
The interior specification includes electrically adjustable comfort seats, a matching leather-trimmed airbag steering wheel, air conditioning, and sliding sunroof. The car wears the correct set of polished 18-inch split-rim Speedline alloy wheels, and remains original and unmodified.
Fresh from a full service at classic car specialist Tudor & Black, this Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6 ‘X88’ is also covered by a clean current MOT certificate, and is running and driving superbly.
Bidders can see the car on the move in this video that introduces this rare 911 Turbo, where ‪@ChrisHarrisonCars‬ gets behind the wheel to deliver his verdict on this uniquely finished 964-generation car.
While any Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6 is a sought-after collector car, this ‘X88’ power package-equipped supercar is an especially rare machine, and is a true one-off in the stunning hue of Horizon Blue Metallic. The auction is expected to attract strong interest from Porsche collectors around the world, and with the car offered at ‘No Reserve’ it will be selling to the highest bidder.

I’ve had classic bikes and know the sheer wallet emptying delight of owning “old stuff”. This I’m sure would lead you down a very similar path. The Porsche looks great, can’t carry the detritus of modern life and may well have to be ground anchored to your air conditioned garage to keep the “Bad Boys” at bay. I’ll keep the shopping trolley rocket and admire Chris’s wonderful commentary for a vehicle I have no wish to own. But maybe that Citroen Mehari for the summer, now there’s a thought…..

Three gentlemen. Learned friend Harris has some humor, but I doubt there would be any sitcom in there. The other two have their occasional joke that render them dry to the point you'd think their male output comes in powder. With collectibles, there will not be doughnuts or burnt rubber, like in this video, and it becomes a rather nerdy thing. That's not a value judgment, I might like it, as I do like the YT work of each of these. What hangs over these ideas is the shadow of one uncivilized brutal loudmouth punk who thought that his celeb status gave him more freedom in the social behavior and ethics arena than is acceptable in the real world. Mainly funny situations because of the antisocial core. These three you mention are not going to even try to copy that old format, good for them. Nor do I see them stoop to Benny Hill or Carry On levels attempted at incidentally by the original fab three of Bottoms Up Gear - what was it called again?
