2008 PORSCHE 911 (997) TURBO

KEY FACTS

• A low-mileage example of Porsche’s 997-era supercar, with a fantastic factory specification.
• It is powered by the 3.6-litre twin-turbocharged ‘Mezger’ flat-six, now producing 490bhp, coupled to the desirable six-speed short-shift manual gearbox.
• It benefits from a comprehensive biennial service history, performed at main dealers and specialists.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• It was specified from the factory with GT Silver paintwork, black leather upholstery, 19-inch Turbo alloy wheels and the Sport Chrono Plus package.
• Other options included the full red tail lights, Porsche crests embossed on the headrests, heated adaptive sport seats, and a body-coloured centre console.
• It has since been modified, and now features a 656lb/ft clutch kit, an RS flywheel conversion kit and Cup shifting cables, along with a 490bhp engine upgrade, RSS engine mounts and a Stage One Europipe sports exhaust.
• The suspension has been upgraded to KW Clubsport three-way adjustable dampers, and braided stainless steel brake hoses have been fitted.
• Its original owner’s manuals and service book will be included.

CONDITION
