Porsche 997.2 Turbo

The vehicle in detail

Hexagon Classics are delighted to offer this highly specified, low mileage 997 Turbo Gen 2 Coupe which looks superb in its classic Basalt black metallic with full black leather colour combination. Complete with Exclusive Department factory carbon fibre interior and a huge optional extra list, this is a very special example.

The second generation of the all-wheel drive 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 new 997 models received a 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 197 mph though many automotive publications proved that Porsche may have been a little modest in their claims.

The looks of the facelifted model were largely untouched from the original 997 Turbo, but there were 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, 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 far more forgiving.

Supplied new by Porsche Centre Bristol in May 2011, our stunning 997 Turbo coupe has benefitted from a full service history with the handbook showing 8 service visits. A new N-rated tyre set has also been fitted. A full driver’s book pack, spare remote key and VTS tracking fobs are all present.  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.
