Porsche 997 Turbo

The vehicle in detail

Something that of course is not obvious when you first arrive at the car. At a glance, this is a Meteor gray mk1 Turbo. Nothing on the exterior gives away how unique the car is. On the other hand, the eyes fall on the now classic Turbo rims that hide large ceramic disks with yellow yokes. The exterior is well preserved. Partly thanks to a sparse use over the years but also thanks to the PPF film that sits over the front sections to protect against stone chips. The big differences come when you open the driver’s door. You are greeted by a symphony of leather and alcantara. Sports seats with embossed Porsche crests and a sports steering wheel completely covered in alcantara. Your eyes wander further and it takes a while to connect. Although the center console in a mk1 997 is a pretty elegant design, the updated version in the mk2 was a big step forward. Which makes this car feel a lot more modern. In front of the driver, five white dials and a white SportChrono in the center of the dashboard. You continue down past the PCM 3.0 unit and are greeted by a manual gear selector also covered in alcantara. Every 997 Turbo is a special driving experience. But this one stands a head above the rest. A car with all the best features. Mezger engine and the new interior. Manual gearbox and the right equipment. Sold in Sweden on top of that.
