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 2012 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 inline to the original 911 Turbo’s (930) design philosophy.
This intriguingly specced Turbo displays an odometer reading of a low 22,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 $164,305 with a build sheet listing the following equipment: Multi-stage Heating System for Front Seats; Heated Steering Wheel; 19-inch 911 Turbo II Wheel; Manual transmission; Dynamic Cornering Light; Bluetooth Interface for Mobile Phone; Sport Chrono Package Turbo Including Dynamic Engine Mounting; XM Radio; Floor Mats in Interior Color; Universal Audio Interface; Black; Black Full Leather; Exterior Package Painted; Adaptive Sports Seats; Wheels Painted in Exterior Color; Decorative Trim on Gear Lever Painted; Trim Strip Switch Painted in Exterior Color; Preparation for illuminated door sill guards; Rear Section of Center Console in Exterior Color; Door entry guards in Carbon, illuminated.
Upon viewing the Turbo’s aerodynamically optimized body, your presence is welcomed by its appealing Black finish; 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 Black that can be operated at speeds of up to 31 mph; 19-inch Turbo II wheels with black painted centers and full-color Porsche Crest center caps and are set before 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 differentiating Black Full Leather cabin, you’re first met by Carbon Fiber door inlays featuring illuminated ‚turbo‘ script and one of the first things that’ll catch your attention is the Adaptive Sports seats featuring matte-metallic finished shells, perforations, and light-colored stitching along with the bright-metallic finish that covers the lower region of the front seats and when inside you can expect to find a black painted central tunnel/door pulls/handles/trim surrounds/center dashboard strip trim, light-colored stitching with carpeting completed in black and sumptuous leather that extends onto the upper dashboard and door areas. The driver is met by a heated and black 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 to the Turbo model. Front occupants are embraced by the very embracing Adaptive Sports seats which feature 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.
