Description
Porsche 997 Turbo Gen 1. 5 Coupe
Basalt Black | 53, 000 miles | Rare 1. 5
Presented for sale is an exceptional Porsche 997 Turbo Gen 1. 5 Coupe, finished in timeless turbo black and displaying just 53, 184 miles, equating to a very low average mileage per year at ~3. 2k.
Widely regarded as the sweet spot of the 997 Turbo range, the Gen 1. 5 uniquely combines the legendary 3. 6-litre Mezger flat-six with later interior and usability refinements, delivering a rare balance of analogue character and everyday sophistication.
UK supply was extremely limited. Of the circa 200 Gen 1. 5 Turbos delivered to the UK, only around 160–170 were Coupes, with the majority specified with Tiptronic transmission. When body style, gearbox and colour are considered, it is believed that fewer than 25 Basalt Black Tiptronic Coupes were supplied, making this a genuinely scarce and highly desirable configuration.
The car benefits from an excellent service history, showing 7 service stamps from a combination of Porsche main dealers and respected Porsche specialists. Most recently, it was serviced approximately 1, 200 miles ago in August, with a fresh MOT completed at the same time.
It is presented on freshly diamond-cut Turbo wheels and, for complete peace of mind, is supplied with a comprehensive 1-year warranty until December 2026.
In addition, the car comes with its original OEM exhaust system and exhaust tips, which will accompany the sale.
Maintained to a high standard and presenting in excellent condition throughout, this 997 Turbo Gen 1. 5 offers devastating performance, everyday usability and increasing collector appeal.
