The seller offers for sale a 1997 Porsche 993 Turbo, enhanced by Roock Sportsystem in Leverkusen to 490 PS. Purchased in 2005 with 49,400 km, it has since been cherished by its second owner, always garaged, never used on track, and maintained regularly by specialists. The current verified mileage is 117,321 km. The car remains accident-free, with German registration papers and TÜV valid until October 2025. The Polar Silver paint is largely original, with a front spoiler resprayed this year in Salzburg. Inside, the full leather cabin is fitted with electric seats with lumbar support, original CR31 digital sound system, cruise control, sunroof, Nokia telephone, and interior surveillance system. Mechanically, the car starts easily, runs without smoke or noises, and shifts smoothly. The sale includes its original toolkit, board book, invoices, and a new set of summer tyres.
The Porsche 993, produced from 1994 to 1998, represents the last of the air-cooled 911 models and is widely regarded as one of the greatest Porsches ever made. The Turbo combined timeless styling with advanced technology, including all-wheel drive and twin turbochargers, delivering both stability and thrilling performance. With the upgraded 490 PS output, this example offers even sharper driving dynamics while retaining everyday usability. The 993 Turbo’s desirability has grown steadily among collectors due to its blend of heritage, rarity, and usability. This particular car, with its long-term ownership, documented history, and desirable factory and performance options, stands out as a highly attractive opportunity for enthusiasts and investors alike.
