The 997-generation Porsche 911 Turbo was introduced for the 2007 model year and featured the renowned Mezger flat-six engine paired with new Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG) turbochargers. Finished in Slate Grey Metallic over Black and Sand Beige upholstery, this inaugural year example features an optional Tiptronic S transmission, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB), the Sport Chrono Package Turbo, heated Adaptive Sport Seats, the Parking Assist System, and more. Showing less than 74k kilometers (~46k miles) on the odometer, this Canadian-market Turbo is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Alberta.
The Turbo features model-specific bumpers, wider fenders, side air intakes, and a speed-activated rear wing. Finished in Slate Grey Metallic, this example includes an optional rear wiper and yellow ceramic brake calipers. The factory 19” Turbo wheels have been CNC-machine refinished and dressed in Pirelli P Zero N2 tires dated 2020 (front) and 2019 (rear). The seller notes the rear bumper and right rear fender were refinished. Minor flaws include front-end paint imperfections, a light wiper scratch, and small windshield chips. A clean CARFAX report and detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The cabin presents two-tone Black and Sand Beige leather upholstery complete with Sand Beige floor mats. Optional equipment includes heated Adaptive Sport Seats, the Parking Assist System, a Sport Chrono stopwatch dial, Tiptronic and handbrake lever trim in aluminum/leather, and an exclusive aluminum footrest. Slight wear is noted on the driver’s seat bolster. A subtle squeaking noise is occasionally noticed over rough roads, reportedly attributed to the suspension.
Power comes from a twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter Mezger flat-six factory-rated at 480 HP and 460 lb.-ft of torque, sent to all four wheels through an optional 5-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission. With the Sport Chrono Package, the Turbo offers a temporary overboost function and 0–60 MPH acceleration in as little as 3.4 seconds. Additionally, optional Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) provide superior stopping ability. A major service was completed in 2022 at 70k kilometers, including a new battery, trunk switch, fluid changes for the front and rear differentials and viscous coupling, a brake fluid flush, cooling system flush and pressure test, fuel filter replacement, four new tires with TPMS sensors, and a four-wheel alignment. The seller notes that upon a cold startup, a small amount of smoke occasionally emits as oil pressure builds up. A list of highlighted services are provided by the seller below:

The seller would like you to know: "Thanks for viewing my personally owned Porsche 997.1 Turbo. I’ve been a Porsche owner since the mid-80s and consider a Mezger-powered 911 a privilege to own and drive. While it’s not equipped with the more desirable manual transmission, the Tiptronic S does an outstanding and stress-free job of harnessing the power and acceleration of this machine, whether in a spirited drive or while taking a fun cruise on your favorite winding road. Owning and driving this Porsche always put a big smile on my face, and I always looked for any excuse at all to take it for a drive. The legendary silhouette, driving position, PCCB brakes, and Metzger engine make this a special experience every time you settle in and turn the key. It’s an 18-year-old car, so it’s not perfect. While it looks like a very new car inside and out, it shows a bit of normal wear on the front bumper and windshield, which is okay because these cars need to be experienced and enjoyed. I hope this car goes to a good home and an enthusiast like me, as I know it will bring the new owner true Porsche happiness! "
