Shown in the unassuming yet luminously grey shade of Meteor Grey Metallic that’s aesthetically supplemented by painted center cap bearing Turbo II Wheels boasting characteristic two-tone surface areas and a black soft top over a blatantly attractive Carrera Red Natural Leather interior that’s further visually elevated by a two-tone finished (Carrera Red and brushed-silver adjacent) Sports steering wheel, Guards Red instrumentation dials, Carrera Red stitching, silver trim on select regions and black carpeting, this achingly appealing specimen displays an odometer reading of a very low 27,XXX miles, and 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 $150,885 with a build sheet listing the following equipment: Carrera Red Natural Leather; Deviating Carpet; Heated Front Seats; Wheel Caps with Colored Crest; Bluetooth Phone Interface; XM Radio; Floor Mats in Interior Color; Leather Interior Natural Leather; Meteor Grey Metallic; Cabriolet roof in Black; Sport Shifter; Instrument dials in Guards Red.
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.
Performance: Powering the all-wheel-drive Turbo Cabriolet is a twin-turbocharged 3.8L DFI flat-six engine that delivers a vivacious 500 hp with 516 lb-ft of torque which results in an estimated 0-60 time of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of around 194 mph.
