A 997... Turbo... in the hands of Techart. What more could you ask for?
A 997... Turbo... tuned by Techart. What more could you ask for?
- The Type 997, launched in 2004, represented an evolution of the 996 rather than a revolution, the most significant changes being to the interior and exterior styling. The latter marked a welcome return to the 911's traditional oval headlamps, and the interior, too, was more faithful to the 911 spirit than that of the 996.
- The base 3.6-litre engine remained broadly identical to that of the Type 996, while the more expensive 'S' models were equipped with a more powerful 3.8-litre unit. The Turbo, meanwhile, retained the 3.6-litre unit, now with variable geometry turbochargers for improved responsiveness.
- A new all-wheel drive system was also offered. As is often the case with modern automatic transmissions, Porsche's Tiptronic gearbox enables the Turbo to accelerate faster than the manual version, the former reaching 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds compared with 3.9 for the latter.
- The car that illustrates these pages was sold new in Dortmund, Germany, as evidenced by its stamped service book, and imported into France in 2012. It passed through the hands of the famous tuner TechArt, presumably during its German life, and benefits from a special body kit, new wheels, a completely revised interior, a non-original exhaust system and a branded carbon airbox.
- Its current owner (since 2020) has given it meticulous servicing, notably at the Centre Porsche Roissy, at a cost of over €15,000, including an engine seal. The car runs well, but has a few cosmetic flaws, including a cracked TechArt rear valance. We also noted an occasionally faulty passenger opening system and an occasionally recalcitrant spoiler. The Histovec shows a "repair procedure" in 2014 with expert monitoring of the work, with no further details. The estimate is attractive and Porsche enthusiasts will not be mistaken!
