Finished in Macadamia Metallic over Brown Natural Leather upholstery, this Canadian-market 2008 Porsche 997 Turbo Cabriolet is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission paired with its twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter Mezger flat-six engine. It comes factory equipped with an optional rear axle differential lock, Sport Chrono Package Turbo, painted hardback Sport Seats, a painted center console, Porsche-crested headrests, leather-covered trim pieces, an aluminum footrest, and a thicker leather steering wheel. The car benefits from an engine-out service in 2022 that includes a Sharkwerks coolant pipe upgrade kit, pinned coolant pipes, a new water pump, an alternator, heat exchangers, an accessory belt tensioner, and more. Showing approximately 155k kilometers or 96k miles on the odometer, this Turbo Cabriolet is now being offered for auction out of Ontario, Canada.
This 997 is finished in Macadamia Metallic with a brown convertible roof and includes wide Turbo-specific bodywork with integrated side air intakes. It also features be-xenon headlamps, fog lights, heated power mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, a speed-activated rear spoiler, dual exhaust outlets, red brake calipers, and 19” 911 Turbo wheels. The car rides on Pirelli P Zero tires with production date codes from 2016 and 2017. The seller notes the front bumper was refinished to address stone chips. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin is appointed with Brown Natural Leather upholstery complemented by painted Sport Seat backrests and a painted center console. Optional leather trim covers the sun visors, steering column casing, and door finishers. Other accessories include heated front seats, optional Porsche-crested headrests, an aluminum footrest, a thicker leather steering wheel, Porsche Communication Management (PCM), a Bose sound system, automatic climate control, cruise control, and a 6-disc CD changer. The air conditioning compressor was replaced in 2021, and the front trunk release actuator was replaced in May 2024.
The twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter Mezger flat-six engine delivers up to 480 HP and 460 lb.-ft of torque to all four wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission and an optional rear axle differential lock. The optional Sport Chrono Package also enables an overboost setting for a temporary increase of 505 lb.-ft torque. The clutch was replaced in 2019 and an engine-out service was completed in 2022 which included pinned coolant pipes with a Sharkwerks coolant pipe upgrade kit, a new water pump accessory belt tensioner, alternator, heat exchangers, fuel filter, tandem pumps, and various lines and hoses. Other services include a new front left CV boot in 2021, a new clutch line and power steering pump in 2022, and an oil change in preparation for sale in 2024.
This sale will include an owner’s manual, service records, and a clean Ontario registration.
The seller would like you to know: “Prepare to be thrilled by the exhilarating performance and timeless design of this 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo. Renowned for its precision engineering and iconic style, this masterpiece of German engineering is sure to turn heads wherever it goes.”

In the past 6 years, I never took this to the track. In fact non of my 911s been to the track nor do I know how to drive on the track. The color combo is very rare. That’s one of the reasons my wife asked to have it part of the collection.

This beauty is part of my 911 collection and was taken good care. Recently (few weeks ago) did the oil and service at Porsche center north. I rotate them on a sunny day. My 914 restoration is almost ready and had to make a decision to part ways with this queen. Hopefully someone will meet the reserve and enjoy

for private people there is GST(SALES TAX) to canada and 2.5%duty to the usa. a dealer does not pay the GST only the 2.5% duty. there are broker and bond fees. those last 2 are not much
@Autotrend TFX will also do all the paperwork to get the car across
@Autotrend Toronto Ontario
For those wanting to import.
There’s a bunch of companies that make the process easy. Porsche North America supplies a letter stating that it is US EPA and DOT compliant.
There are duties and fees associated. I’m not sure the going rate these days.
But have heard some of the companies make it very easy dealing with customs etc.
what town in ontario are you located in
@Autotrend @jv911 was the question around importing to the US addressed? I live in CA and would be great to get some details on the process to get this home. Thanks.
Last 40 minutes and wanted to wish all those who are interested. Just wanted to remind this is the turbo with mezger bulletproof engine.

@Autotrend let me see if I can have someone to take additional pictures. I’m at the office now.
pics 95 and 98 only refer to the tires. pic 143 is good, but there should also be one in one of the doors with a bar code mentioning the us compliance.
Bid in the amount of $15,000
@devildog just added some pic.
To @devildog
The 997.1 turbos don’t have a panel under that part of the car (in front of front wheels), it’s the air “exhaust” for the front side radiators. Pic 64.
As for pic 65, that looks to be just the inner wheel well liner needs to be popped back in. It’s plastic and can easily be put back in improperly.
Seller - beautiful car! Hope you have a buyer today.

@devildog will try and get you more pictures in the am. Have you. In the meantime please review pic 152-156
Can you provide some more detailed photo that show more of the undercarriage carriage. Pictures 64 show the left front may be missing the under panel because it appear to have an exposed coolant hose. Picture 65 show a miss alignment of he right side front fender liner misaligned and not seated. Can we get more detailed photo of the undercarriage.
@Autotrend pic 95,98 and 143 should do the trick with export. I checked it with TFX international
@Autotrend will do
there should be another black sticker in the door jamb with a bar code. that is very important for usa importation. can you look/ photograph it and upload it? thanks
@Z3SpdDmn i have owned it for the past 6 years. During the six years it never seen salt. However, the turbo underneath is mostly covered unlike other make.
Has this car been winter-driven at any point in its life and, specifically, seen salt?
153497 kilometers translates to 95,738 miles for those of you not sure of the conversion factor 1 kilometer is .621371 of a mile
@Autotrend yes it does. It works automatically based on the speed or you can manually turn on/off
does the rear wing work up and down automatically?
what is the routine for a business to import the car to the usa?

@zollerm the clutch was replaced when I took possession 6 years ago. At that time it had about 140km. Drove 15km it over the past 6 years and never winter driven while I owned it. This is part of my many 911 so didn’t drive as much
Last clutch replacement? Thanks.
@spartinsix I will inquire

Since it's a manual, would it be possible to get a DME report for the car?
