The car is finished in Basalt Black Metallic and features a black convertible soft top as well as bi-xenon headlights, fog lights, rain-sensing windshield wipers, side air intakes, flared quarter panels, and a deployable rear spoiler. The Carfax report lists damage to the left rear in October 2009, with no further details given. The front lip spoiler was reportedly replaced in preparation for the sale.
The 19” Turbo wheels are mounted with Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 tires. Braking is handled by Porsche-branded six- and four-piston front and rear calipers over ceramic-composite rotors measuring 13.8″ at each corner. The car is equipped with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) as well as Porsche Stability Management (PSM) with an automatic brake differential (ABD). Work in March 2023 included replacing the rear tires and performing a brake fluid flush.
The cabin features heated adaptive front sport seats upholstered in black leather that extends to the dashboard and door panels. Interior amenities include driver-seat memory settings, Porsche Communication Management with navigation, a Bose sound system, a fire extinguisher, automatic climate control, and cruise control.
The optional thicker leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a central tachometer and a 225-mph speedometer as well as gauges for oil temperature, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The optional Sport Chrono Package added a stopwatch atop the dashboard. The digital odometer indicates 33k miles, approximately 900 of which were added by the selling dealer.
The twin-turbocharged and intercooled 3.6-liter Mezger flat-six was factory rated at 480 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. The Sport Chrono Package allows the 997.1 Turbo to overboost for up to 10 seconds, increasing peak rated torque to 505 lb-ft. This example has been modified with an IPD intake plenum and Fabspeed exhaust headers. An oil change was performed in March 2023, and the results of a DME report are included in the gallery below.
Power is sent to all four wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle. The car is also equipped with a mechanically locking rear differential.
The Porsche Certificate of Authenticity lists colors, optional equipment, and a production completion date of October 11, 2007.
