CSC are excited to offer for sale this pristine and highly collectable manual Gen 1, Mezger 997 turbo coupe with just 1 owner and 9,000 miles from new. Presented in stunning Atlas Grey with complementing Black leather interior this car is virtually blemish free and comes with a full Porsche service history.

Following the 997’s launch in 2004, the turbo debuted at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show with an engine based on the 911 GT1’s design, using 2 Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG) turbo chargers and offering 473bhp. The optional ‘Sport Chrono’ package would also allow a 10 second ‘over-boost’ from 1.0 bar to 1.2 bar increasing peak torque over a narrow RPM range. The torque was managed by Porsche’s Traction Management (PTM) system in conjunction with Porsche Stability Management (PSM) system. Gearbox options were 6 speed manual or 5 speed tiptronic S transmission.

Performance was impressive with official figures claiming the manual 997 turbo could accelerate from 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds and on to 124mph in 12.8 seconds and could achieve a top speed of 193mph.

These 997 Gen 1 turbos were the last 911 turbo to use the hugely reliable and race proven mezger engine block with its provenance dating back to the air cooled era and which went on to great success in the 911 GT1 race car of 1996. The mezger engine did live on for the remainder of 997 production in the GT3 model.

This particular example has been owned by the current mature owner from new and has been used sparingly as a summer weekend car only. The Atlas Grey paintwork presents beautifully with no major marks or blemishes and the diamond cut turbo alloy wheels are unmarked.

Internally this turbo features Porsche’s fantastic hard back sports seats with 2 way electrical adjustment and seat heating. The immaculate interior is trimmed in black leather with contrasting silver stitching. The ‘turbo’ branded instrument gauge faces are also finished in silver with the dash trim and sports seat backs finished in satin titanium. The headlining is trimmed in dark grey Alcantara and the black carpet is protected by factory fitted mats.

This car was ordered with a few choice options including Sports Seats, PCM, BOSE, Cruise Control and Sport Chrono Plus package for enhanced performance. It was also thankfully ordered with the 6 speed manual transmission which has now become highly desirable in driver focused Porsche models and enhanced in this example by the factory optional Short Shift package.

As you would expect, on the road the car drives faultlessly and offers all the performance anyone could realistically need on any occasion with the added security of all wheel drive. The ride can be firmed up with the adjustable sports suspension should a more ‘spirited’ drive be the order of the day, whilst the heated seats and cruise control can take the stress out of any long distance driving.

The original Bill of Sale from Porsche Centre Wilmslow dated 1st March 2007 comes with the car confirming the exact specification including options to the value of £4,000 and an ‘on the road price’ of £100,934.
