About this car
The 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet pairs Slate Grey Metallic paint with a Stone Grey and Black leather interior. Its 3.6L flat-six carries twin turbochargers, twin intercoolers, variable turbine geometry and dry-sump lubrication, while the 5-speed Tiptronic S automatic sends power to all four wheels through Porsche Traction Management. At 46,627 miles the car also carries the supple-leather seat option and remote six-disc CD changer.
Porsche Active Suspension Management lowers the car 10 mm and works with the front and rear stabilizer bars. The convertible top is power-operated and includes a wind deflector; an automatic rear spoiler extends at speed. Bi-Xenon headlights with washers and leveling sit above red brake calipers, and the 19-inch pressure-cast turbo wheels wear P235/35ZR19 front and P305/30ZR19 rear tires.
Inside, power front buckets offer adjustable lumbar support and the driver seat stores its position. The three-spoke sport steering wheel is leather-wrapped with the Porsche crest, and the cabin is trimmed in aluminum with a turbo-design shift lever. The PCM system includes a 5.8-inch color display, while the nine-speaker Bose surround system plays through the remote CD changer. Standard equipment also covers tire-pressure monitoring, rain-sensing wipers with heated nozzles, HomeLink, cruise control and automatic climate control with active-carbon filter.

- Combustion
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.
