Buyer’s notes
About the Porsche 911 Turbo (997)
The 997 Turbo of 2006 used the racing department’s 3.6-litre Mezger engine with variable-turbine-geometry turbochargers, a first on a petrol production car, for 480 PS and all-wheel drive. In 2009 the second generation replaced the Mezger with a new 3.8-litre direct-injection engine, so these first cars are the last Mezger Turbos.
What moves the price
- Gearbox: first-generation manual coupés lead; Tiptronic cars sit well below them.
- Engine: the Mezger-engined first generation is a different collector proposition from the later 3.8.
- Body and originality: coupés over Cabriolets, and original cars over tuned ones.
Before you buy, check
- The coolant pipes: on the Mezger they are bonded and can work loose, so ask for the invoice for a pinned or welded fix.
- The variable-geometry turbo actuators, and the clutch on hard-used manuals.
- Carbon-ceramic brakes, if fitted: the discs are very expensive to replace.
