Porsche 911's in Dhaka, Bangladesh

Post by rezwan »

Putting this thread together to document all the Porsche 911s that are present in the country. The 911 is such an icon and I clearly remember when the first 996 911 was imported by a neighbour in Baridhara, it was such a sight to see it on Dhaka roads and one of the primary reasons why I really wanted a 911 one day.

I am aware of the following 911s in the country
1. 996.1 Carrera - it was originally GT silver with a GT3 kit, then it was painted white by the second owner and a 996 Turbo bumper added. Its now back with its original owner in Baridhara, although hardly seen on the road
2. 996.2 Turbo - this was a dark blue 996 with a striking tan interior. Its changed hands a few times, was repainted Speed Yellow but is now back to the original dark blue colour.
3. 997.1 Turbo - this was imported by the Porsche dealer at the time in 2007 for a close friend of mine. GT silver with an orange interior. This car was heavily modified with a Techart kit but in my opinion it looked best stock. It was sold by the original owner, I haven't seen this car on the road for a while.
4. 991.2 Targa 4 GTS - this car is finished in Agate Grey, very similar in spec to my own 911, its amazing for me to see this car in Dhaka, the twin turbo 3.0 litre engine is really fast and can be tuned heavily. This car was wrapped in purple, which I think ruined the looks, but everyone has different tastes.

I don't think there are any other 911s in Dhaka apart from the ones listed above. Would love to hear any more news or insights. Does anyone know how many 718 Boxsters and Caymans there are? I think at least 7/8, but could be more.
