Up for auction is a very rare 2009 Porsche 997 Turbo Cabriolet finished in special ordered Malachite Green Metallic over a Sand Beige full leather interior. This example highlights many unique factory options along with a desirable 6-speed manual transmission. Clearly a one-of-a-kind build, this Turbo is now being offered in excellent condition by its seller in Miami, FL with just 15k miles on the odometer.
The rarely seen Malachite Green Metallic finish on this Turbo is said to remain in exceptional condition with paint protective film covering the front bumper and hood. This color is perfectly contrasted by a Cocoa cabriolet top that is in perfect working order. As a Turbo variant, this 911 features a factory wide body along with aggressive side air intakes making for a sportier look. This Turbo rides on 19” Turbo wheels which come wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires.
This Turbo has been specially appointed with a Sand Beige full leather interior that features Malachite Green accenting throughout. Said to be in excellent condition, this interior remains completely original with all electronics in perfect working order. Boasting an original MSRP of over $153k, this 997 is accompanied by the following build sheet:
What makes this Turbo even more special is its legendary power plant. Originally developed for the 911 GT1 Le Mans cars, the Mezger engine is regarded by many Porsche enthusiasts as the pinnacle of water-cooled engines. Featuring true dry sump and crank driven oil pumps, this engine resists oil surge in even the most aggressive cornering. Furthermore, this GT1 derived engine doesn’t suffer from IMS bearing related issues as its oil system ensures constant lubrication. This powerhouse of an engine puts out approximately 488 bhp and 457 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels by way of a 6-speed manual transmission. The result is a massively powerful top-down sports car that puts full control in the driver’s hands while offering visceral, uncompromised performance. This Turbo is up-to-date on service and is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner.
The sale will include two keys, books, and a clean Carfax.
