The 997.1 Turbo is arguably the best 911 turbo ever made.
Porsche took the legendary Mezger engine and fitted it with variable turbine geometry turbos (VGT). The result is a twin-turbo flat-six that eliminates lag almost entirely while delivering massive power. The 3.6-litre engine produces 480 hp with almost constant torque across the rev range, and a top speed above 300km/h. Combined with the six-speed manual gearbox, this is one of the most engaging and analog Turbo that enthusiasts are craving for right now.
This particular 997 Turbo is exceptionally specified. PCCB ceramic brakes provide massive stopping power with charismatic yellow calipers behind the 19-inch Turbo wheels. The interior features full carbon trim throughout: carbon gear knob, carbon handbrake, carbon center console, carbon dashboard trim. This creates a genuinely special cabin feel, a very sporty configuration. Numerous Porsche Exclusive options complete the spec: short shifter kit, leather-covered PCM, Porsche crests in headrests, 3-spoke sport steering wheel, and many more.
The car was delivered new in France in 2008 and has always been carefully maintained. It comes with its original documentation and a fully stamped service book. A major service has just been completed ahead of sale, along with new Michelin PS4 tires fitted. The car retains mostly original paint and shows a clean PIWIS report with ignitions only in ranges 1-3, showing it always lived under careful ownership.
The 997 Turbo market is booming. Values are climbing rapidly as collectors recognize these Mezger-powered manuals as the last of their kind. Finding examples with this kind of spec and proper maintenance is getting harder and harder. This is a serious investment opportunity in one of the best 997 Turbos available. Don’t miss your chance!
