Hexagon Classics are delighted to offer this uniquely-specified, low mileage 997 Turbo Generation 2 coupe which looks quite stunning in its paint-to-sample Grey Black with full natural red leather colour combination, complete with factory Turbo Aerokit. With a huge optional extra list, this is a very special example.
Initially launched during the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show the second generation of the 997 Turbo was an instant hit, and our example will certainly appeal to a buyer who is looking for an individual example that will also offer good investment potential.
The second-generation 997 models received a completely new 6-cylinder, 3.8 litre boxer engine delivering 500hp with revised Borg-Warner (VTG) turbos. Porsche claimed the 911 Turbo would travel from 0 to 62 mph in 3.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 194 mph though several well-regarded automotive publications proved that Porsche may have been a little modest in their claims.
The looks of the facelifted model were left mainly untouched from the original 997 Turbo, but there are subtle changes to the rear lights, which were enhanced to an LED-type, in addition to changes to the front lamps. The Generation 2 cars shed up to 50kg as part of the improvement process, bringing the overall weight down. Porsche dialled back the turbo boost pressure a touch for extra driveability and keener throttle response. Porsche also revised the engine mounts that came with the Sports Chrono pack to improve chassis tautness. Most important of all were the changes to the ride, improvements to the spring and damper rates meant this car’s whole attitude to poor road surfaces became more forgiving.
Supplied new by Porsche Centre Kendal in May 2010, our stunning 997 Turbo coupe has benefitted from a fu
ll service history. Benefitting from a recent Porsche specification main service, it also retains its original driver’s book pack, spare remote key and VTS fobs. A Porsche rarity by virtue of its paint to sample Grey Black colour and Turbo Aerokit package, this 997 Turbo Gen II is all ready to be enjoyed. A 12-month written warranty will also be included.
Available to view now at our London showrooms.
