Though the latter cars are more dynamic, powerful, and are even more technological wonders than the 997.1 Turbo, the Turbos preceding the 997.1 Turbo are larger in size, don’t feature the sought-after favorable sizing and mechanicalness as offered by the 997.1 generation Turbo. The 997.1 turbo is very much a new-age Porsche 959 with heightened usability for everyday use and is that car that will not be replicated again.
This absolutely beautiful Turbo displays an odometer reading of a very low 6,XXX miles, shows a Clean CARFAX Report, boasts a rear view mirror integrated K40 radar detector, short shifter kit and featured an original MSRP of $148,085 with a build sheet listing the following equipment: Axle-Differential Lock Rear; Heated Front Seats; Rear Window Wiper; Ceramic Composite Brakes-PCCB; Rod Antenna; Parking Assist System; Sport Chrono Package Turbo; Remote CD Changer (6 Disc); Black; Black Full Leather; Gear Lever Trim in Leather; Floor Mats With Colored Trim; Headlight Cleaner Cvr Ext.Clr; Spoiler Lip Painted; Front Air Intakes Painted; Metal Door Sill Model Insignia; Sport Shifter; Instrument Dials Speed Yellow; Rear Center Console – Leather; Porsche Crest in Headrest; Seat Belts – Speed Yellow; Red Taillights; Foot Rest Aluminum.
