Situated on the 19-inch forged alloy Turbo wheels bearing a two-tone finish while showcased before the highly sought-after carbon ceramic braking system’s yellow-finished calipers with a body fastened in the surface saluting white hue of Carrara White Metallic over a charismatically contemporary Sea Blue Leather upholstered cabin that is further enhanced by the infrequently seen and coveted front Sport Bucket seats, this majestic and final-year of the Mezger enveloping Turbo Coupe displays an odometer reading of just 18,XXX miles
, exhibits a Clean CARFAX Report, and featured an original MSRP of $147,000 with a build sheet listing the following equipment: Limited Slip Rear Differential Lock; Ceramic Composite Brakes-PCCB; Bluetooth Phone Interface; Sport Chrono Package Turbo; 6-Disc CD/DVD Changer; Floor Mats in Interior Color; Carrara White; Sea Blue Full Leather; Sport Bucket Seats; Sport Shifter; Wheels Painted Black.
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.
