The 997.2 Turbo’s Notoriety: The 997.2 generation Turbo denotes the very last of the 6-speed manual-equipped 911 Turbos with the 2013 model year signaling the end of the manual-operated 911 Turbo. The 991 Turbo’s transmission offering was only limited to PDK and the 992 Turbo will more than likely continue to utilize PDK. Not only are its successors lacking a manual transmission, but the 991s and 992 911s lack the preferable sizing that this example offers as it’s really the last of the svelte-shaped and „right-sized“ Turbos that are in line with the original 911 Turbo’s (930) design philosophy.
This delectably daunting Turbo displays an odometer reading of just 20,XXX miles, benefits from a recent and complete servicing rendered by our in-house Porsche Tech with 30 years of expertise (servicing specifics are available), and featured an original MSRP of $162,545 with a build sheet listing the following equipment: Heated Front Seats; 19-inch RS Spyder Whl w/Center Lock; Dynamic Cornering Lights; Bluetooth Phone Interface; Parking Assist System; Sport Chrono Package Turbo; XM Radio; PAG Code – Launch code; Floor Mats in Interior Color; Universal Audio Interface; Stone Grey Full Leather; Adaptive Sport Seats; GT Silver Metallic; Cabriolet roof in Stone Grey; Side Skirts in Exterior Color; Rear Ctr Cons Painted Extr Clr; Steering Column in Leather; Seat Belts – Silver.
Upon viewing the Turbo’s aerodynamically optimized body, your presence is welcomed by its ablazing GT Silver Metallic finish that subtly accentuates the Turbo’s sensual surfaces; front bumper boasting integrated and aesthetically unobstructive headlight washers, intake duct incorporated LED turn signals, and compact fog lights that are aptly stationed on the bumper’s outermost region; Bi-Xenon headlights; a sleek gas lid that’s understatedly incorporated into the right fender; a soft-top completed in Stone Grey that alluringly complements the cab’s GT Silver finish and can be operated at speeds of up to 31 mph; 19-inch RS Spyder Center Lock wheels (showcased in front of red brake calipers which are accented by white ‚Porsche‘ insignia); the rear’s pronounced, muscular fenders that are accentuated by the model’s signature air intakes; a bi-plane rear spoiler featuring an automatically deploying top wing that raises at around 77 MPH and lowers at roughly 37 MPH; LED taillights; twin exhaust outlets that subtly protrudes from the distinctive, twin-vented, rear bumper.
Just before slipping inside of its ultra-contemporary Stone Grey Full Leather cabin, you’re first met by black door sills with ‚turbo‘ insignia plated in brushed-look aluminum and one of the first things that’ll catch your attention is the GT Silver finished console tunnel followed by Silver Seat Belts and the Adaptive Sports seats that are emphasized by perforations and light-colored stitching along with bright-metallic finishing that covers the backs and lower region of the front seats and when inside you can expect to find light-colored stitching and bright-finished metallic-coated surfacing on select areas with carpeting completed in grey and sumptuous leather that extends onto the upper dashboard and door areas. The driver is greeted by a Stone Grey Leather-wrapped 3-spoke steering wheel; titanium-colored instrumentation dials with „turbo“ insignia bearing tachometer; a centrally located dash-mounted SportChrono dial also with a titanium-colored finish; 6.5-inch touchscreen navigation display; the dazzling, 6-speed shifter offering clear-cut throws and possessing a gear lever design that’s native the Turbo model. Front occupants are embraced by Adaptive Sport seats which offers heating for both occupants and memory settings for the driver and can expect in-cabin audio playback via the BOSE Surround Sound System, featuring 12-speakers.
