The 997.1 Turbo's Significance: It's the last 911 Turbo (and Turbo convertible) to house the iconic 911 GT1-derived Mezger twin-turbocharged engine in conjunction with a manual transmission. The 997.2 Turbos feature an all-new engine, while the 991 and now 992 turbos are only seen in PDK. Though the latter cars are more dynamic, powerful, and are even more technological wonders than the 997.1 Turbo, the Turbos preceding the 997.1 Turbo are larger in size, don't feature the sought-after favorable sizing and mechanicalness as offered by the 997.1 generation Turbo. The 997.1 turbo is very much a new-age Porsche 959 with heightened usability for everyday use and is that car that will not be replicated again.
Upon viewing the Turbo's aerodynamically optimized body, your presence is welcomed by its dashing, alluringly coruscating Forest Green Metallic finish; front bumper boasting integrated and aesthetically unobstructive headlight washers in a bright finish, intake duct incorporated LED turn signals, compact fog lights that are aptly stationed on the bumper's outermost region with the lip completed in black; Bi-Xenon headlights; a sleek gas lid that's understatedly incorporated into the right fender; lower side skirts donned in black; 19-inch forged alloy Turbo wheels completed in a two-tone finish and are stationed in front of red brake calipers that are accented by white "PORSCHE" branding; the rear's pronounced, muscular fenders that are accentuated by the model's signature air intakes; a bi-plane rear spoiler featuring an automatically deploying top wing that raises at around 77 MPH and lowers at roughly 37 MPH; twin exhaust outlets that subtly protrudes from the distinctive, twin-vented, rear bumper.
Just before slipping inside of its appealing Sand Beige Full Leather filled cabin, you're first met by black door sills with 'turbo' insignia plated in brushed-look aluminum and one of the first things you'll notice are the perforated and light-color stitched adorned Comfort seats which features memory settings for the driver and when inside you can expect to find supple leather that extends onto the upper dashboard and door areas, light-colored twin-stitching and aluminum/brushed aluminum/metallic-coated surfacing on select areas and beige carpeting. The driver is met by a leather-wrapped 3-spoke steering wheel; aluminum-colored instrumentation dials with a 'turbo' logo bearing tachometer; a centrally located dash-mounted SportChrono dial also in an aluminum-colored finish; 5.8-inch PCM display; the dazzling, 6-speed shifter offering clear-cut throws and possessing a gear lever design that's native to the Turbo model. In-cabin audio playback is provided by a 13-speaker, BOSE Surround Sound System.
