About this car
The 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo represents the 997.1 generation in its purest form, presented in Basalt Black Metallic over Bordeaux Red full leather. This coupé is powered by a 3.6-litre twin-turbo flat-six engine rated at 480 hp, equipped with the first variable turbine geometry system fitted to a petrol production car, and paired with a six-speed manual transmission driving all four wheels through Porsche Traction Management.
The cabin is trimmed throughout in Bordeaux Red leather that covers the dashboard, door panels, seats and steering wheel, complemented by black carpets with small black accents and red-edged turbo floor mats. Carbon fibre appears on the gear lever, handbrake lever, dashboard trim strip and door sill guards that carry the turbo script, while a dash-top Sport Chrono clock and PCM navigation complete the specification.
Outside, the car rides on 19-inch Turbo wheels with red brake callipers and is fitted with Bi-Xenon headlamps. The odometer shows 12,286 miles, and the vehicle remains in complete factory specification with no recorded departures.

The Porsche 911 Turbo (997 generation) was produced from 2006 to 2013, marking the fifth iteration of Porsche’s iconic Turbo lineup. Approximately 30,000 units of the 997 Turbo were manufactured across its variants, including coupe and cabriolet models, making it relatively accessible compared to rarer Porsche models, though specific trims and editions remain sought-after by collectors.
Equipped with a 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engine in early models (later upgraded to a 3.8-liter in the 997.2 facelift from 2009), the 911 Turbo delivered between 480 and 530 horsepower, depending on the version. Performance highlights include a 0-60 mph time of around 3.4 seconds and a top speed exceeding 190 mph. The 997 Turbo introduced advanced features like variable turbine geometry (VTG) for improved turbo response, a first for production cars. Special editions, such as the 911 Turbo S, offer enhanced performance and exclusivity, appealing to collectors. Historical significance lies in its refinement of the Turbo lineage, balancing cutting-edge technology with classic 911 design. Value trends show steady appreciation for well-maintained, low-mileage examples, particularly manual transmission models and limited editions, as the 997 is often seen as the last of the more analog 911 Turbos.
