The 997 Porsche Turbo – What You Need To Know Before Buying One

Your ultimate buying guide for the Porsche 997.1 Turbo is here! This video will give you everything you need to know about the 997 Turbo, including a complete rundown of the spec and stats behind this brilliant 911 all-rounder which offers supercar performance for 718 Boxster money.

I also chat to an industry specialist for a market view of the 997 Turbo, plus there’s a 2021 drive review – can the last 911 Turbo with that fabled Mezger engine still impress 15 years after it was first released?

The 997 Turbo followed the 996 Turbo of course, but as we’ll see in the video, the 997 Turbo offers a lot more car for a little more cash, with a big power increase to 480bhp, plus extra tech such as Sport Chrono, PASM, and Sport mapping, which is all still part of the Porsche 911 Turbo armour today. But what do you need to look out for when buying a 997 Turbo? My ultimate guide will tell you everything you need to know!
