Porsche 997 Turbo

Het voertuig in detail

This example is finished in the classy combination of GT Silver Metallic over extended Black leather.

In the rear, we find the incredible M97.70 engine, arguably one of the Porsche engines ever made. It packs 3.6l of twin-turbocharged oomph, good for 480hp and a massive 620nm (680nm overboost in Sport mode). Apart from these impressive numbers, this 997 was the first time that Porsche used Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT) on a production car: meaning instant throttle response at any RPMs with maximum torque already available at 2100 RPMs… Couple this with a short-throw 6-speed manual gearbox and you get yourself a rocket capable of 309km/h and 0-100km/h in 3.9s.

To top off the performance with an adequate amount of luxury, the first owner of this 997 turbo chose several options from the Porsche Exclusive catalogue, as well as the desirable ceramic brakes option (PCCB).
