997 Turbo
2007 Model year
65, 000 Km’s
3. 6-liter turbocharged flat-six
The 997 Turbo debuted in February 2006 at the Geneva Motor Show. It featured a new front bumper with LED turn signal strips integrated in the air intakes; the fog lamps were moved to the corners of the bumpers. Large air vents fore and aft of the rear wheels provide other obvious visual cues of the Turbo model. The turbo utilises the wide body shell of the AWD models, giving it a more aggressive stance than the base 911 models.
But thanks to the 997’s Cup car-mimicking lower front splitter, its two-stage rear wing and its burgeoning width – not to mention the strikingly simple 19-inch split-spoke alloys – the 911 range-topping Turbo looks, well, like a proper Turbo.
Based on the Carrera 4’s bodyshell, the Turbo’s life force is its venerable 3. 6-litre flat six. Starting life in the 993, the engine’s roots can be traced back to the GT1, and it still powers Porsche’s current crop of Carrera Cup race cars.
It’s not the engine that’s of most interest, though – it’s the pair of very clever turbochargers that lurk deep in the tail of the beast. Positioned on the exhaust side of the turbo is a turbine wheel that’s fitted with guide blades that adjust according to the volume of exhaust gas flow.
It’s all about forward motion, and the 1585kg 997 Turbo – five kilograms lighter than the 996 Turbo, despite the inclusion of more electronic trickery, more safety and larger wheels – is a grand champion of the art.
This incredible 2007 Porsche 997 Turbo (Japan Spec) was recently serviced at Porsche Dealer in GCC and its ready to be enjoyed.
