24-Years-Owned 1997 Porsche 911 Turbo
This 1997 Porsche 911 Turbo is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over supple Classic Gray leather with carbon-fiber interior trim, and is powered by a 400 horsepower-rated twin-turbocharged 3.6L flat-six that drives all four wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle with a limited-slip differential. The suspension has been upgraded with a ride height adjusted to RoW specifications, RS adjustable sway bars, and Bilstein PSS9 dampers. Equipment includes a sunroof, rear spoiler, Turbo S-style front brake ducts, and 18″ wheels. On the inside, power-adjustable front seats are joined by a K40 radar detector, a metal pedal set, and an aftermarket sound system consisting of an amplifier, Kenwood stereo, and Canton front speakers. A major Porsche service in February 2026 totaled over $5k and involved replacing the battery, fuel filter, engine and cabin air filters, and a power steering hose in addition to servicing the air conditioning system, performing system flushes, changing fluids, and more as detailed below. Under the seller’s care since 2002, this 993 Turbo is now offered with service records dating from 2000, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
The 993 Turbo featured wider bodywork, revised bumper covers, and a fixed rear spoiler to accommodate top-mount intercoolers when compared with the standard 993 coupe. This example is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic (92U) and features xenon headlights with washers as well as a power sunroof, a rear window wiper, and polished exhaust outlets. The rear bumperettes have been painted to match the body, and a front protection bar, clear turn signals, and Turbo S-style front brake ducts have been installed. The seller believes that the car has not been repainted, and photos of paint meter readings are provided in the gallery below.
The 18″ wheels are said to have been recently mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. The car features an Automatic Brake Differential (ABD), and the 993 was the first 911 to feature multi-link rear suspension. Braking is provided by Porsche-branded four-piston calipers over cross-drilled rotors. Bilstein PSS9 dampers were fitted in 2003, and the seller notes that the car also has aftermarket spring perches, RS adjustable sway bars, and a suspension ride height lowered to RoW specification. The brake fluid was flushed in February 2026.
The cabin is factory-appointed with carbon-fiber trim and supple Classic Gray leather upholstery. Amenities include power-adjustable front seats, cruise control, and automatic climate control. A metal pedal set has been installed, and the seller notes that the car also has a K40 radar detector, a Kenwood stereo, Canton front speakers, and an aftermarket amplifier.
The carbon-fiber-trimmed steering wheel is paired with a carbon-fiber-trimmed shifter, and the instrument cluster features chrome bezels. Instrumentation includes a central tachometer, a 200-mph speedometer, an analog Quarz clock, and gauges for oil pressure, oil temperature, oil level, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 41k miles, approximately 15k of which were added under current ownership. A service record provided in the gallery indicates that the speedometer required repairs in 2000, stating “Over 60 mph speedometer stops working.”
The twin-turbocharged 3.6L flat-six was factory equipped with Bosch Motronic fuel injection and was rated at 400 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque when new. The seller notes that the car has an upgraded oil cooling system. In February 2026, European Motorsports of Vista, California, repaired the oil cooler, replaced a power steering line, flushed the power steering and fuel systems, recharged the R134a refrigerant, and replaced the battery, fuel filter, engine air filter, and cabin air filters.
Power is sent to all four wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle with a limited-slip differential. Transaxle and differential oil changes were also performed in February 2026. The undercarriage subsequently received a laser and dry ice cleaning as part of a detailing service, according to the seller.
