Positioned on the Turbo’s distinctive 19-inch forged alloy Turbo wheels featuring a two-tone finish and non-painted center caps with a body completed in the splendid grey hue of Meteor Grey Metallic over a modern Stone Grey Full Leather cabin that is aesthetically elevated by light-finished stitchwork and perforated front Adaptive Sport seats featuring embossed Porsche Crests, this tasteful example displays an odometer reading of just 21,XXX miles, exhibits a Clean CARFAX Report, and featured an original MSRP of $126,865 with a build sheet listing the following equipment: Axle-Differential Lock Rear; 19-inch Turbo wheels; Manual transmission; Sport Chrono Package Turbo; Floor Mats in Interior Color; Meteor Grey Metallic; Stone Grey Full Leather; Leather Sport Seats; Sport Shifter; Porsche Crest in Headrests.
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 succeeding 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.
