The Last Of Its Kind: It was developed during a time when the driving experience wasn’t overshadowed by a suite of electronic enhancements and features minimal driving aids; it encases the coveted Mezger engine, developed by the late Hans Mezger, that derived from the legendary 911 GT1 race-car and offers rampant, race-track performance that’s optimized for everyday usability; is also more analog and compact, as opposed to its Turbo successors; it’s modern with grand-touring-like comfort, but yet has a traditional mechanical feel that’s not readily available in cars today and has a lovely “just-rightness”!
Featured equipment/factory-ordered options (Original MSRP of $123,580): Tiptronic S; Wheel Caps with Colored Crest; Lumbar Support-Right Seat; Lumbar Support-Left Seat; Remote CD Changer (6 Disc); Black Top; Black Full Leather; Leather Package – Small; Black Mats – Porsche lettering; Porsche Crest in Headrest.
Upon viewing the exterior of this astounding Turbo, your presence is welcomed by its sultry Black finish; a streamlined gas lid that’s understatedly integrated into the right fender; 18-inch Sport Techno wheels showcased in front of red brake calipers that are accented by white ‘Porsche’ insignia; the rear’s fluidic and wide haunches set behind the iconic side intake scoops; an automatically deploying spoiler that raises at around 77 MPH and lowers at roughly 37 MPH; dual exhaust outlets.
Just before slipping inside of its impeccable Black Full Leather cabin, you’re first met by black door sills bearing ‘turbo’ insignia and when inside, one of the first things that’ll catch your attention are the perforated Comfort seats featuring an embossed ‘Porsche Crest’ on the headrest followed by the sumptuous leather that extends onto the dashboard, door regions and rear cabin wall areas and you can expect to find light-colored stitching, brushed metallic-coated surfacing on select areas and carpeting completed in Black. The driver is faced with a leather wrapped 3-spoke steering wheel; a leather covered instrumentation hood with Black instrumentation dials situated behind orange needles; a Porsche CDR23 radio with CD playback; the responsive Tiptronic S transmission’s sculpturally-shaped, shifter. Front occupants are embraced by seats offering multi-power adjustments and can expect in-cabin audio playback via the 12-speaker BOSE Audio System.
