Positioned on the 997 Turbo generation’s familiar 19-inch Turbo wheels featuring a bright finish and set just before red calipers with a body draped in Porsche’s famed red tone of Guards Red over a Black Full Leather upholstered cabin that is visually heightened by intricate stitchwork, Guards Red seat belts, and instrumentation dials in Carrara White with the option of allowing the atmosphere to be fully invited in by way of retracting the Black finished soft top, this sultry turbo displays an odometer reading of just 40,XXX miles and featured an original MSRP of $142,155 with a build sheet listing the following equipment: Heated Seats; 19-inch Turbo wheels; Standard Seats; Manual gearbox; Sport Chrono Package Turbo; Black Full Leather; Guards Red; Sport Shifter; Instrument Dials in Carrara White; Thicker Steering Wheel in Leather; Seat belts in Guards Red; Footrest in Aluminum.
The 997.1 Turbo’s Significance: It’s the last 911 Turbo (and Turbo convertible) to house the iconic 911 GT1-derived Mezger twin-turbocharged engine in conjunction with a manual transmission. The 997.2 Turbos feature an all-new engine, while the 991 and now 992 turbos are only seen in PDK. Though the latter cars are more dynamic, powerful, and are even more technological wonders than the 997.1 Turbo, the Turbos preceding the 997.1 Turbo are larger in size, don’t feature the sought-after favorable sizing and mechanicalness as offered by the 997.1 generation Turbo. The 997.1 turbo is very much a new-age Porsche 959 with heightened usability for everyday use and is that car that will not be replicated again.
