About this car
The 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo 997.2 is a striking convertible finished in Basalt Black Metallic with a Black leather interior. Powered by a 3.8L H6 twin-turbocharged engine paired with a 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, this example has accumulated 43,113 miles. Its modern collectible status is underscored by the blend of performance engineering and open-top versatility that defines the 997.2 generation.
Every mechanical and exterior detail contributes to its capability and presence. The twin-turbo flat-six features dry-sump lubrication and Vario-Cam Plus, while Porsche Traction Management, PASM suspension with 10 mm ride-height reduction, and large vented disc brakes with red calipers deliver precise handling. Outside, the power-folding soft top includes a wind deflector, the automatic rear spoiler deploys as needed, bi-xenon headlights with washers provide illumination, and 19-inch turbo aluminum wheels sit at each corner.
Inside, the cabin balances driver focus with comfort through split-folding rear seats, power windows with auto up/down, keyless entry with remote trunk release, HomeLink, cruise control, and a Bose high-end sound system featuring 5.1 surround sound, 12 speakers, and 385 watts. Safety provisions include ABS, LED daytime running lights, front airbags with passenger on/off switch, side curtain airbags, rollover protection, tire-pressure monitoring, and ISOFIX child-seat preparation.

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.
