Vehicle Description
Driven is pleased to present this one-owner 2009 997 Turbo
Cabriolet on consignment, with less than 15 thousand miles and a
clean carfax. This car is outfitted in full black leather with
contrasting red stitching and had an MSRP of $158,805. The owner
enjoys fine-tuning his Porsches, and this car is expertly modified
to deliver about 800 HP, while retaining reliability for use as a
daily driver. Modifications include: Protomotive 63.5mm
turbochargers with Variable Turbine Geometry, clipped turbines,
recontoured inlet housing; Forge Motorsport intercoolers; Switzer
exhaust; BMC air filtration, upsized fuel injectors; and upgraded
torque convertor and clutch packs in the Tiptronic S transmission
to handle the additional HP/torque. To make the daily commute more
comfortable, the car has heated/ventilated front seats, and a
backup camera integrated into the factory PCM display. Lately, the
997 model has been picking up in terms of desirability and value,
and this low mileage example is highly desirable. It has enough
creature comforts to be quiet and docile during the commute, but is
a real sleeper, with massive reserves of power and performance
lurking just a short press of the throttle away. As Jeremy Clarkson
the British auto journalist reportedly said of the 997, ''it will
make love to your fingertips and stir your soul''. This 997 Turbo
Cabriolet has an excellent service history, and comes with the
original window sticker, owner books and two keys.
