Vehicle Description
Chassis No. WP0AD2A92CS766676
The simple and discreet "turbo" lettering on the rear of a Porsche
911 is perhaps as iconic as the marque itself. Today, it stands for
a nearly half-century high performance legacy that was
earth-shattering upon its introduction and has, in the intervening
years, been refined to such a level that borders on perfection.
From its steering and brakes to its weight distribution, handling,
suspension, and of course, its turbocharged boxer-six engine, the
Porsche Turbo has always been in a class all its own.
The model year represented by this car is of the "997" generation,
which in and of itself has become an especially desirable series in
the water-cooled years, not only for its performance but also its
purity of design, size, and proportions. Of particular note is that
this car is a later production example, benefitting from the "Gen
II" improvements introduced in 2009, including most notably an
all-new six-cylinder engine, producing some 500 horsepower with
revised BorgWarner VTG "Variable Turbine Geometry," lighter
construction, direct fuel injection, a revised dry-sump lubrication
system, larger intake, refined exhaust system, and turbo boost of
some 11.6 psi.
This particular car was commissioned new in the especially
desirable color scheme of Black over Black with a six-speed manual
transmission. Options included heated front seats, heated steering
wheel, attractive 19-inch Turbo II wheels, as well as Bi-Xenon
headlights with Porsche's Dynamic Light System (PDLS), Sirius
satellite radio, the interior carbon package, three-spoke
multi-function steering wheel in carbon, and the Sport Chrono
Package with Dynamic engine mounts. This final option allows the
car to overboost for a number of seconds, thereby increasing peak
available torque over a narrow RPM range - a truly fantastic
feature for performance-minded drivers.
Following this car's delivery and initial sale through the Porsche
dealership in Parsippany, New Jersey, the clean CARFAX Vehicle
History Report indicates a regular history of dealership service
thereafter. In fact, the car did not leave the general until 2017,
as it was sold to a buyer in Illinois, at which point it had only
accumulated 5,000 miles. By the time it arrived in North Carolina
in 2021, it had only added the balance of the miles with which it
was offered today, in excellent overall condition.
Any 911 Turbo warrants close attention from interested enthusiasts,
but it is no overstatement to suggest that a 997 Turbo in
Black/Black with a six-speed manual transmission, desirable
options, and only 5,432 miles indicated at the time of cataloging,
is an extremely rare opportunity - so rare, in fact, that it would
be extremely difficult to replicate in exactly this
specification!
