Porsche 997 Turbo

Il veicolo in dettaglio

the 997.1 turbo’s significance: it’s the last 911 turbo (and turbo convertible) to house the iconic 911 gt1-derived mezger twin-turbocharged engine in conjunction with a manual transmission. the 997.2 turbos feature an all-new engine, while the 991 and now 992 turbos are only seen in pdk. 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.

upon viewing the turbo’s aerodynamically optimized body, your presence is welcomed by its understatedly exuberant carrara white finish that delectably drapes of its famed form, 19-inch forged alloy turbo wheels accentuated by carrara white painted inserts and showcased in front of the pccb system’s yellow brake calipers that are accented by black ‘porsche’ script providing for an outstanding visual that only elevates when the sand beige becomes fully visible; black soft-top; front bumper boasting integrated and aesthetically unobstructive headlight washers, intake duct incorporated led turn signals, compact fog lights that are aptly stationed on the bumper’s outermost region and a lower lip finished in white; bi-xenon headlights; a sleek gas lid that’s understatedly incorporated into the right fender; side skirt lower region completed in white; the rear’s pronounced, muscular fenders that are accentuated by the model’s signature air intakes; a bi-plane rear spoiler featuring an automatically deploying top wing that raises at around 77 mph and lowers at roughly 37 mph; red tail lights; twin exhaust outlets that subtly protrudes from the distinctive, twin-vented, rear bumper boasting a painted lower region in white.

just before slipping inside of its beautiful black/sand beige leather cabin, you’re first met by stainless steel inlays featuring illuminated ‘turbo’ script and one of the first things that’ll catch your attention are the adaptive sport seats emphasized by perforations, light-colored stitching and bright-metallic finished rear shells and when inside you can expect to find light-colored twin-stitching and aluminum/brushed aluminum/metallic-coated surfacing on select areas with carpeting completed in sand beige and sumptuous leather in black that extends onto the upper dashboard and door areas. the driver is faced with a leather-wrapped 3-spoke steering wheel; titanium-colored instrumentation dials situated behind orange needles; a centrally located dash-mounted sportchrono dial also sporting a titanium-color finish; 5.8-inch navigation display; the dazzling, 6-speed shifter offering clear-cut throws and possessing a gear lever design that’s native to the turbo model. front occupants are embraced by heated seats boasting memory settings for the driver and can expect in-cabin audio playback via the bose surround sound system, featuring 12-speakers.
