Hexagon Classics are delighted to offer this highly-specified, low mileage Porsche 997 Turbo Generation II coupe with a large options list. Generation II of the all-wheel drive 997 Turbo was an instant hit, and our example int classic all-black combination will certainly appeal to a buyer who is looking for an individual example that will also offer strong investment potential.
The new 997.2 models received a new 6-cylinder, 3.8 litre boxer engine delivering 500hp with revised Borg-Warner (VTG) turbos. Porsche’s figures showed that the 911 Turbo would travel from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 195 mph, although many automotive publications proved that Porsche may have been a little modest in their claims.
The Generation II cars shed up to 50kg as part of the improvement process, and Porsche dialled back the turbo boost pressure a little for extra driveability and a keener throttle response. Porsche also revised the engine mounts that came with the Sports Chrono pack to improve chassis tautness. Most important of all were the changes to the ride, improvements to the spring and damper rates meant this car’s whole attitude to poor road surfaces became far more forgiving.
