Description

The 997 generation of 911 was released in 2004, and was tasked with bringing the 911 concept into the 21st Century. Porsche's designers and engineers made several key revisions to the 997 over the outgoing 996. Visually, the car bears more resemblance to classic 911 design than its predecessor, most notably shedding the controversial 'fried-egg' headlights.

The turbocharged version of the 997 series featured the same 3.6 litre twin-turbocharged engine as the 996 Turbo. It also offers higher fuel efficiency compared to the 996 Turbo. The 997 was the last generation of 911 to feature the famous Mezger engine, named for its legendary engineer, and was only fitted to the Turbo and GT models, making this Turbo one of the final models to feature such an engine.

This 997 was supplied with a raft of optional extras (always a must with a 911), including the Sports Chrono Package, a must among enthusiasts, and - to add to the Turbo's Grand Touring pedigree - an electric tilt-and-slide sunroof.

This Turbo has been maintained to an exceptional standard by its current owner. This is demonstrated by the comprehensive history with a stamped service book up until June 2021, and all services since then have been carried out by Porsche specialists. The car is also supplied with a valid MOT until May 2026.

This 997 Turbo has benefitted from the following enhancements:

Engine re-mapped to 560BHP
Fully adjustable Ohlin coilovers
Eibach front and rear anti-roll bars
Designtek X pipe exhaust along with 200cell Catalytic Converters.
Factory Turbo 2 alloy wheels with Pirelli P-Zeros

Mechanical work in the last four years includes a new clutch and flywheel, refreshed suspension and cooling system, as well as new OEM turbos (all receipts are included with the sale).

Draped in GT Silver paintwork, with a terrific Terracotta interior (rarely seen!), this Turbo will stand out immediately from the rest of the 911 offering at your local Cars &Coffee. Combined with its low mileage and impressive history, it's a must for anyone looking to move into the higher echelons of 911 ownership, or an enthusiast who wants a car that can do it all, and better than the rest.
