The Last Porsche 911 Turbo To Feature A Manual Transmission

A Mezger-Powered, Manual-Shift Time Capsule with Less Than 8,300 Miles On The Clock If you’re hunting for the ultimate Porsche 911 Turbo, one that speaks to your heart rather than the stopwatch, then the 997 generation has got to be it. This is because it was a significant generation that marked a turning point for Porsche in several ways. The 997.1 Turbo debuted in 2006, and production ran until 2009. While the 997 was most noted for bringing back round headlights over the controversial 996’s fried-egg units, crucially for fans of analog 911, it retains hydraulic steering and packs a race-bred 3.6-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine (M97.70) with variable geometry turbochargers. Derived from Porsche’s 911 GT1 Program, it produces 480 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. After ‘09, Porsche introduced the 997.2 Turbo, bridging some major mechanical changes, including a new 3.8-liter direct-injected flat-six (MA1.70) that put out 500 horsepower, up from the 480 hp on the outgoing 997.1 Turbo. However, as a non-Mezger powerplant, it lacked the racing pedigree of the old 3.6-liter mill. While the 997.2 Turbo was still available with a manual, the more potent Turbo S, which was introduced in 2010, was available exclusively with a PDK. Porsche did away with the stick altogether on the 991 generation of Turbo models. As a Turbo S was never available on the 997.1 and no Turbo S has ever been equipped with a manual, it makes the 997.1 Turbo, the final Mezger-powered 911 Turbo to ever feature a manual transmission, a pivotal moment in Porsche history. So while the 997 retains several aforementioned analog features coveted by enthusiasts, it also packs enough creature comforts to pass off as a modern classic. Throw in all-wheel drive and you have a versatile, near-200 mph sports car with year-round usability. 997.1: The Last Porsche 911 Turbo To Feature A Manual Transmission This low-mileage example (seen above) with just 8,298 miles is a 2009 Porsche 911 Turbo finished in GT Silver metallic over a black leather interior. The 997.1 Turbo already has a lot going for it, but this particular car comes equipped with several desirable factory options. Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brakes (PCCB), a sport chrono package, premium Bose audio, and heated/ventilated seats are just a handful of the long list of options on this vehicle. So, to sum it up, the 997 bridges two worlds. Classic proportions that purists love while retaining the raw mechanical connection that’s gone missing in modern 911s. The 997 truly remains the sweetspot for enthusiasts, because after it came electric steering, PDK-only Turbos, and even more software and tech. With this particular car, with its Mezger engine, single-owner status, and a rare spec, you’re looking at a blue-chip collectible.

Own Purist Performance: The Best Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 R...

For years on end, fans of Porsche saw the mid-engined Cayman as an absolute treasure trove of untapped performance car potential. However, the introduction of the Porsche Cayman GT4 in 2015 saw much of that potential realized, with the high-performance, motorsport-focused version of the mid-engined sports car getting put on a similar pedestal to many of the more potent versions of the legendary 911. However, Porsche had more in store, and that came in the form of the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS in 2022.

With the Porsche 911 GT3’s engine, derived from the 911 GT3 R and 911 RSR race cars, the GT4 RS boasts 493 horsepower (slightly less than the GT3 due to being mid-mounted and thus having a longer exhaust), and gets from 0-60 in just 3.2 seconds, reaching a soaring top speed of 196 mph. On the bottom line when it comes to track times, the GT4 RS managed to eclipse the GT4 by an incredible 23 seconds around the famed Nurburgring. Power isn’t the only improvement that the GT4 RS underwent. The inclusion of lots of carbon fiber, the swan neck wing, advanced cooling and aerodynamics, and a lightning-fast 7-speed PDK transmission made significant contributions to the car’s incredible success. What is the Weissach Package? Porsche offers a Weissach Package for many of its track-focused GT models, and the incredibly-potent 718 Cayman GT4 RS is certainly no exception. Named after Porsche’s home racetrack, the Weissach package adds things like the option to equip weight-saving magnesium wheels, an exposed carbon fiber hood, carbon fiber bucket seats, and more. It’s a one-way ticket to turning your car into an ultimate track-ready machine. What does “RS” stand for? Porsche’s most potent and track-ready models are designated “RS,” which stands for “Renn Sport,” translated to “race sport.” What it means is that you’re getting a car made purely to get around a track as fast as possible. Learn How To Sell Your Porsche Does the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS come with a manual transmission? Unfortunately, no. While many purists find the experience of driving with three pedals and rowing through gears with a manual shifter an irreplaceable joy, Porsche designed this car with performance as the number one priority, which meant that in favor of the quicker-shifting and easier usability, only the 7-speed PDK was offered, which does allow the driver to shift more quickly and efficiently than with a manual. How do I buy a Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS? If you want to be early to the finish line, chances are that you also want to be early to getting your hands on this unforgettably amazing car. However, seeking one out isn't easy. Luckily, duPont REGISTRY specializes in the greatest and hardest-to-find exotic cars the world has ever seen, and the GT4 RS is no exception. Keep scrolling to see some GT4 RS cars for sale. When it comes to the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS and cars like it, duPont REGISTRY is the place to look. Is the Porsche 718 discontinued? Reportedly, changing regulations have caused Porsche to decide to discontinue the 718 in Europe. A similar situation happened with the ICE-powered Macan. Fortunately, the mid-engined model will still be available in the United States for the time being. Is there an electric Porsche 718? Not yet. Porsche has introduced the electric Macan, the second all-electric model in its transforming lineup. However, the 718 is up next, with its all-electric version said to be revealed in the middle of the decade.

Max Verstappen's Former 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup Car Is F...

Once owned by the F1 legend himself! There's something truly special about Porsche, and more specifically, its factory GT race cars. Combining an ultra-lightweight chassis with tons of aero upgrades, a stripped-out cockpit, and a naturally aspirated flat-six, Porsche Cup cars deliver a thrilling track experience that even has Formula 1 stars hopping behind the wheel. Specializing in sourcing and selling top-tier Porsche race cars, the knowledgeable team at Isringhausen Imports is proud to showcase this 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup formerly owned by Oracle Red Bull Racing F1 driver Max Verstappen as part of its inventory of exotic cars for sale on duPont REGISTRY. Acquired from a team in Belgium that supported Verstappen's recreational use of several Porsche race cars, this 991.2 GT3 Cup was once operated by both Max and his father Jos. It was then sold to a customer here in the US who campaigned it successfully in the IGT series in 2023. Now completely serviced and cleaned up by Goldcrest Motorsports, the GT3 Cup currently has 70 hours. Originally sporting a red and black livery, the Porsche has since returned to its factory white finish, acting as a blank slate for its future owner's custom race livery. Inside, the cabin has been completely stripped down to metal to shed every ounce of unwanted weight, attributed to Porsche's renowned power-to-weight ratio. Along with a track-certified, full roll cage, the interior also features advanced safety and fire systems, track telemetry technology, and even cooling controls for the driver's suit. The 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup also packs a serious punch with its naturally aspirated 4.0L flat-six engine, producing more than 485 horsepower to its rear wheels. Designed for the track, it features a six-speed sequential gearbox that delivers precise quick shifts.

Porsche 911 GT3 (992): Own A Driver's Car Masterpiece

The most revolutionary 911 GT3 yet. The Porsche 911 GT3 has always been an enthusiast favorite, for plenty of reasons. Whether it's the naturally-aspirated flat-six engine, the lightweight construction, the available manual transmission, or the track-ready enhancements, the 911 GT3 is one of the most important parts of a dying breed of true driver's cars that are purpose-built for enjoying both the road and track alike. However, the newest generation of the Porsche 911 GT3, the 992 generation, is for many of its own reasons arguably the best one yet. Further lowered weight, a 502-horsepower engine, and advanced aerodynamic enhancements like the prominent swan neck wing, make it a true track weapon. With a choice of either a six-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed PDK, any driver can get the thrill out of the 992 911 GT3. Electrification is sweeping the entire automotive industry, and while that has brought an incredible wave of innovation to the automotive world, cars like the Porsche 911 are gems from an era that is soon passing. Car enthusiasts and collectors should get their hands on the 911 GT3 as the value of this masterpiece will rise once driver's cars like this one become pieces of automotive history. Check out 10 amazing examples of Porsche 992 911 GT3s for sale below on duPont REGISTRY.com. What is a swan neck wing? As opposed to a typical rear wing, which is mounted on the bottom, the mounts of the swan neck wing reach over the wing so that it's mounted on the top, hence the name. The result is an uninterrupted underside surface area, allowing for better aerodynamics and downforce. What is the 911 GT3 Touring? The 911 GT3 Touring is perfect for the enthusiast or collector who wants the high performance and driver's car appeal of the 911 GT3 without the track-focused design elements, making for an elegant, classic-inspired high-performance masterpiece. The Touring spec most notably comes without the rear wing, and is also available with more plush interior appointments than the more track-focused GT3. What is the price of the Porsche 992 911 GT3? The newest Porsche 911 GT3 MSRP starts at $182,900. However, if you are looking to get one on the second hand market, demand certainly outweighs supply. Expect to pay over $250,000 for a second hand latest-generation Porsche 911 GT3.
