Porsche 997 Turbo Archives

In 2004, Porsche premiered the successor to the model 996, the Porsche 911 997.1 Turbo. It was an evolution of the previous model, and the most significant is the replacement of the “fried egg” headlamps with the classic “bug eye” units. It was produced until 2013, and over 21K units left the production lines. One of them, the 2009 Porsche 911 Turbo coupe is up for auction. It should also be noted that there is currently a lien on the car, and the seller’s lender will need to be paid off before the title can be transferred to the new owner.

The Porsche 911 Turbo is powered by a twin-turbocharged and intercooled 3.6L Mezger flat-six engine that delivers 480 hp (353 kW) and 505 lb-ft (685 Nm) of torque thanks to the Sport Chrono package. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox. It is mounted on five-spoke 19″ HRE alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.

This example is finished in Cream White, has been properly maintained and is in good condition. It is equipped with a power sunroof, a painted front spoiler, a deployable rear spoiler, bi-xenon headlights, fog lights, red taillight lenses, side air intakes, Porsche-branded side graphics, quadruple exhaust outlets, steel Porsche-branded six- and four- piston front and rear calipers with cross-drilled rotors, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), Porsche Stability Management (PSM) with an automatic brake differential (ABD), Bilstein units, IPD Y-pipe and BBi exhaust system.

Inside, heated power-adjustable front sport seats are upholstered in Brown natural leather and pepita cloth accents. The same combination covers the door panels, dashboard and center console, while the steering wheel is wrapped in leather and suede. Additional equipment includes driver-seat memory settings, Porsche Communication Management with navigation, a Bose sound system, headrest embroidery, a remote six-disc CD changer, automatic climate control, cruise control, and Coco floor mats. The clock reads 40,116 miles.

The car has a clean Carfax report that shows no accidents or other damage. It comes with manufacturer’s literature, two sets of floor mats, and a clean Oregon title.

The auction ends on April 19 and the current highest bid is $97,997 USD.
