What makes this Turbo truly 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 monster of an engine puts out approximately 488 bhp and 457 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels by way of a crisp 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 received a new clutch and a standard service less than 400 miles ago. It said to be in excellent running condition.
Included in the sale of this outstanding single-owner Turbo Cabriolet are all associated books and documentation as well as a clean Carfax report indicating that this Turbo has suffered no accidents or mechanical failures during its time on the road. This Cabriolet makes the perfect addition to any true enthusiast’s garage and is sure to satisfy even the most discerning driver.
