Highlights
- Exceptionally low mileage of under 44k

- Popular colour combination
- Limited production run of 200 cars
- Freshly MOT'd - Passed with no advisories
The Appeal
Porsche’s 997 added classic design elements back into the compelling 911 template that was reset by the 996. As usual Porsche continually developed its car during production, adding improvements and enhancements along the way. Buyers could also carefully upgrade their cars to their bespoke requirements.
This 2009 997 Turbo benefits from both trends. It is a very rare Gen 1.5 car which means it has the Mezger engine with a Gen 2 interior. Just 200 of these cars are reported to have been built. Then there is the specification, which includes stand-out aesthetics as well as the desirable Sport Chrono Plus package.
The tempting specification continues with a 500bhp twin turbo, Tiptronic S transmission, sunroof and factory infotainment system. Add in a popular colour combination, FSH, gresh advisory free MOT and superbly well kept condition and this must be one of the best of its kind currently available.

The 997 is popular with enthusiast because it added back in two classic 911 features - the round headlights and a more classically styled dashboard. The second phase car lightly updated the aesthetics.
This car was clearly well specified by its first owner, the combination of black metallic paintwork, contrasting centre stripe and bronze alloys offer an understated by undoubtedly purposeful look that suits its considerable performance. It is in very good order, reflecting the low mileage and evidence of ongoing car exhibited by the history file.
The story is the same inside where the highly specified interior, including that desirable Sport Chrono Plus feature, is in unmarked order with no visible signs of wear across the high quality surfaces.
The Mechanics
- 3,596cc flat six Mezger turbocharged 500bhp engine
- Highly regarded Tiptronic automatic gearbox with sequential shift option
- Functional quad exhaust provides a great rasping, drone-free sound
- Sport Chrono offers range of driving modes including launch control
- Full Porsche and specialist service history
- 0-60mph in 3.1secs in standard Turbo S form
- Discs and pads recently changed
This low mileage 997’s performance is in the stratosphere. The standard Turbo is quick, with close on 500bhp on tap to deliver 60mph in 3.1secs from standstill. It is also fitted with that Sport Chrono Plus package, which works with the extra power to provide more ways to exploit it, including various driving modes and launch control.
With all that performance on tap any buyer will want the reassurance of impeccable maintenance. This car certainly has that. Alongside the full service history - by Porsche and specialists - is a run of checks to the brake fluid, airbags and general condition. It was last comprehensively serviced in June 2023 at just under 41,000 miles and will be sold with a fresh 12 months MOT.
