However, the star status of the car and the recent tragic death of Diego Maradona have increased interest in the 911 and driven up its price. A real battle has broken out for the Porsche sports car.
Diego Maradona decided to buy a Porsche 911 in 1992 when he played for the Spanish club Sevilla. He chose a Carrera 2 cabriolet in the rare Worlds Turbo Look version – only 1,200 such cars were produced.
The Porsche 911 cabriolet managed to become famous, because Maradona drove it around Seville at a speed of 180 km/h and ran a red light, for which he was stopped by the Spanish police. True, the footballer owned the car for only a year, and then the sports car changed hands.
The Porsche 911 Carrera 2 is equipped with a 3.6-liter naturally aspirated six-cylinder engine producing 253 hp and a 5-speed manual gearbox. It accelerates to 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 260 km/h. The car's mileage is 120,000 km.
