2006 PORSCHE 911 (997) TURBO

KEY FACTS

• A great example of the 997-era 911 Turbo, finished in Cobalt Blue and with desirable options.
• Under the engine lid is a 3.6-litre twin-turbocharged ‘Mezger’ flat-six, producing 480bhp and 457lb-ft of torque, coupled to the sought-after six-speed manual gearbox.
• It benefits from a comprehensive service history and has evidently been well-cared for.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• This example was specified with a combination of Cobalt Blue metallic paintwork and grey leather upholstery.
• The 997 Turbo was fitted with a retractable rear wing, revised bumpers, larger air vents and a wider body shell, for a more aggressive stance.
• Factory equipment includes heated sport seats, satellite navigation and air-conditioning, as well as the Chrono stopwatch and a multi-function steering wheel.
• The cabin also has a carbon-fibre centre console cover, as well as Cobalt Blue detailing across the dashboard and for the door release pulls.
• Its original owner’s manuals and service book will be included.

CONDITION

• No known bodywork damage.
• Its Cobalt Blue paintwork is in excellent condition, with the vendor noting that the bonnet appears to have been resprayed, and now presents with a few small stone chips and superficial scratches.
• The front splitter features a few imperfections as shown in the gallery, but overall the car presents very well for its age.
• Inside, its grey leather upholstery is in great shape, with just a few light creases to the bolsters, and no heavy wear or significant discolouration.
• No electrical faults have been detected.
• The most recent MOT test was on 17 December 2020 at 41,443 miles, which was a first-time pass with no advisories or defects.

SERVICE HISTORY
