This 2008 911 ( 997 ) Turbo 6 speed Manual, finished in a special-order GT Silver has travelled only 72,000 kms, since being delivered by Porsche Centre Sydney South. It has been well serviced every year since then, with the most recent Porsche service performed only 2000 kms ago, I doubt there is a better example of a totally original Turbo in Australia.

I had the privilege to be at the media/dealer launch of the 997 Turbo. "don't go over 300kph", was the instruction from our instructor, as we headed out on a high-speed test track! This car was more than capable!

Sadly, this is where a number of things also stopped! This was the last time that the legendary Porsche Mezger engine was fitted to a 911 Turbo. This amazing engine, which was designed by the late Hans Mezger, had been used in only the quickest Porsche's from GT3's, Turbos and even the Le Mans winning GT1. This generation of ( 997 ) 911 Turbo was also the last time that Australia received and Porsche Turbos with a real Manual gear box! Since then, the car has only been supplied with the very able PDK transmission. Which is a real shame for those drivers out there who relish the total experience of "swapping cogs!"

Porsche re-thought the way their AWD system for these cars, so that an intelligent system always felt like a rear wheel driven car, until the pilot made an error, this is a "Masterwerk" of a vehicle, very fast, sure footed and easy to drive, with real life day to day drivability!

We have a detailed current report, all the original books, perfect Porsche service history, original keys, etc! We have also performed a full Compression and Leakdown test, still showing factory numbers! We confirmed no bore scoring and took the option to replace both Spark plugs and coil pack, while we were there. Which should give comfort to the next owner!

The first owner ticked most of the Porsche factory option boxes, so it was delivered with full leather memory seats, Park Assist, Sports Chrono package, embossed console lid. This would be one of the last 997 Manual Turbos to be delivered in Australia, such low kilometers it would be a great addition to the Porsche collection!

If you are looking for the last of the Manual, Variable Vane Technology Twin Turbos, with 480 bhp and 100 kph in three and a bit second; either to drive, or of for that increasingly valuable collection, this could be it.
