A 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo coupe has been listed for sale by a dealer, offering enthusiasts a rare opportunity to acquire a low-mileage example of the 997.1 generation equipped with a six-speed manual transaxle. The car shows 38,000 miles on its digital odometer and is finished in GT Silver Metallic over Black full leather. It carries a Pennsylvania title with an «Exempt» odometer notation and is accompanied by an owner’s manual, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, a DME report, and service records.
The 997.1 Turbo remains a landmark model for Porsche, combining the classic flat-six layout with modern turbocharging and all-wheel drive. This example is powered by a twin-turbocharged and intercooled 3.6-litre Mezger flat-six, factory rated at 480 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. The optional Sport Chrono Package allows the engine to overboost for up to 10 seconds, raising peak torque to 505 lb-ft. Power is sent to all four wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle, a configuration increasingly sought after as later generations moved toward dual-clutch transmissions.
Factory options include the Sport Chrono Package, 19-inch Turbo wheels, red taillights, heated adaptive sport seats with embossed Porsche crests, a remote six-disc CD changer, leather sun visors, and an aluminium footrest. Additional equipment takes in a power sunroof, bi-xenon headlights, Porsche Active Suspension Management, Bilstein shocks, stainless steel door sills, driver-seat memory settings, Porsche Communication Management with navigation, a Bose sound system, automatic climate control, and cruise control. The car rides on Michelin tyres with 2021 date codes, while braking is handled by Porsche-branded six- and four-piston calipers over 13.8-inch rotors. Porsche Stability Management with an automatic brake differential is also fitted.
Recent maintenance includes replacement of the tyre pressure monitor sensors and control unit in September 2023, and the rear brake pads and wear sensors in July 2024. The engine cooling fan was replaced in July 2024, and an oil change was performed in July 2026. The cabin is upholstered in Black full leather that extends to the dashboard and door panels, with heated power-adjustable adaptive front seats, driver-seat memory, and Porsche crests in the headrests. A leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel frames a central tachometer, a 225-mph speedometer, and gauges for oil temperature, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The Sport Chrono Package adds a stopwatch atop the dashboard.
The Carfax report lists an accident reported in September 2018. Imperfections are noted in the accompanying video, and close-up photographs of the paint and trim condition are available in the gallery. The selling dealer notes that the car is finished in GT Silver Metallic with matching lower accents, and features a power sunroof, bi-xenon headlights, fog lights, rain-sensing windshield wipers, side air intakes, red taillights, and flared quarter panels. The 19-inch Turbo wheels are mounted with Michelin tyres showing 2021 date codes.
For collectors and drivers, the 997.1 Turbo with a manual gearbox represents a high-water mark for analogue engagement in the modern era of Porsche’s flagship sports car. The combination of the Mezger engine, all-wheel drive, and a six-speed manual has made well-preserved examples increasingly desirable. This car’s documented service history, including the recent cooling fan and brake work, adds to its appeal. The sale includes the owner’s manual, Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, DME report, and service records, providing a comprehensive paper trail for the next owner.
