The 997 Turbo Cabriolet is one of the great all-weather supercars: twin-turbo, all-wheel-drive performance and everyday usability, with open sky at the touch of a button. This example was delivered new by Porsche Centre Sydney South, finished in the rare and elegant Macadamia Metallic over a beige and cocoa leather interior, and presents in exceptional condition.
At its heart is the legendary Mezger engine, the motorsport-derived, dry-sumped flat-six whose lineage traces back to Porsche’s Le Mans-winning GT1. Highly regarded for its strength and reliability, it is the engine that gives the 997.1 Turbo its enduring appeal among enthusiasts. In this 3.6L twin-turbocharged form with Variable Turbine Geometry, it produces 353 kW (480 hp) and 620 Nm of torque, spread across a broad plateau for effortless acceleration. Paired with the 5-speed Tiptronic S, it is actually quicker to 100 km/h than its manual counterpart, and just as comfortable on a long coastal cruise as in city traffic.
Porsche Traction Management all-wheel drive, PASM adaptive damping and powerful cross-drilled brakes deliver sure-footed confidence in all conditions. The fully lined fabric roof opens or closes in around 20 seconds at speeds of up to 50 km/h, turning a snug, coupe-like cabin into an open-air grand tourer.
Inside is where this car truly stands apart. The extended leather package carries the beige and cocoa trim across the centre console and gear lever, highlighted by contrasting stitching and finished with Porsche-crested headrests for a cabin that feels genuinely bespoke. It has also been sensibly updated with an Alpine head unit offering Bluetooth phone and audio streaming, plus a reversing camera, bringing modern convenience without compromising the car’s original character.
The colour combination is the real story here. Macadamia is a warm metallic brown that looks rich and understated in any light, and the beige and cocoa cabin complements it beautifully, creating a warmth and individuality far removed from the usual black interior. It’s a specification that will appeal to collectors and drivers alike.
This example’s service history is fully up to date, and it comes complete with all original books, two keys, and a comprehensive pre-sale inspection carried out by Sydney’s leading independent Porsche specialists.
