With its sleek black metallic paintwork, 19” five-spoke alloy wheels with ventilated, cross drilled discs and red brake callipers and shod in Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres, and that unmistakable silhouette and wider, more aggressive stance of the Turbo models, this very handsome example of Porsche’s flagship 911 model exudes power and style. The 480bhp, 3.6-litre, flat six, twin-turbocharged DOHC engine propels the all-wheel-drive 911 from 0-60mph in just 3.7 seconds, aided by the five-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission – and sounds superb while it does so. The cabin of this four-seater two-door coupe is tremendously smart, thanks to the tan leather interior, which makes a particularly attractive colour combination with the black exterior. ‘RF56 RXT’ has the full complement of high-specification items one would expect from a vehicle of this calibre, including a Pioneer entertainment system/sat nav system with Bose speakers. The car has had just four previous keepers and comes with full service history and MOT certificates supporting the 68,419 mileage, a good file of handbooks, documents and invoices and an MOT to 14 June 2024. The current owner describes the engine, transmission, bodywork and interior as ‘excellent’, the paintwork as ‘excellent/good’ and the electrics as ‘good’.
The 997 was the sixth generation of the Porsche 911 and replaced the Porsche 996 in 2004, with production running until 2013. The main changes between the 996 and 996 were styling, including 18” wheels and, most notably, the ‘bug eye’ headlamps which replaced the ‘fried egg’ lights of the 996, though there was also a slight power increase. In 2006 Porsche unveiled its flagship 997 Turbo at the Geneva Motor Show. Increased use of aluminium enabled the new model to be 41kg lighter than the 996 Turbo. The first Porsche production model to feature two BorgWarner VTG turbochargers, the 997 Turbo featured air vents fore and aft of the rear wheels and a redesigned front bumper with LED turn signal strips in the air intakes.
