Porsche 911 Turco Cabriolet

For enthusiasts seeking the benchmark in everyday supercar performance, this 2005 Porsche 911 Turbo represents the definitive high water mark of the celebrated 996 generation. Powered by the legendary 3.6 litre Mezger twin turbocharged engine and finished in timeless Seal Grey, this original Irish registered example (05 D 83239) has covered only 108,492 Kms. It captures the sweet spot of modern classic ownership, combining genuine 190 mph pace with effortless daily usability, and presents as an excellent and thoroughly well sorted driver's car that is built to be driven and enjoyed rather than tucked away in a heated garage. Visually, the purposeful wide body silhouette carries tremendous road presence, complete with its iconic wide rear arches, side air intakes, and deployable biplane rear spoiler. The paintwork presents very well throughout, showing only the light, honest stone chips consistent with an active, well enjoyed life on the road. Inside, the cabin offers classic Porsche ergonomic focus and long distance comfort, trimmed in full leather with supportive sports seats and automatic climate control. Everything functions exactly as it should, down to the newly lubricated door hinges, fresh cabin pollen filter, and a brand new genuine key transmitter that was recently coded to the immobiliser via factory PIWIS diagnostics. Mechanical integrity is paramount with any 911 Turbo, and this example benefits from an exhaustive, zero compromise service carried out by Porsche specialists DOB Sportscars in September of this year, backed by an invoice exceeding €5,500. The car was treated to a comprehensive 120 point inspection alongside a major oil service using Porsche approved Mobil 1 5W50, new filters, and fresh drain plugs. During this visit, the air conditioning system was fully overhauled with a replacement low pressure pipe, new receiver drier, fresh seals, and an R134a recharge. The braking system received equal dedication, benefitting from brand new Turbo front discs, pads, anti vibration dampers, and wear sensors, along with replacement rear brake pipes into the callipers, new flexi hoses, and a full system bleed with Brembo fluid, rounded off with a new Bosch battery and a replacement front undertray air duct. On the road, the driving experience is nothing short of explosive yet remarkably composed. The bulletproof Mezger engine delivers devastating, linear acceleration across the rev range, whilst the permanent all wheel drive chassis provides immense traction and reassuring poise in all weather conditions. It rides with planted composure, tracking straight and true with confidence inspiring pedal feel and razor sharp steering feedback. With its major mechanical overhaul freshly completed, complete specialist provenance, and superb road manners, this 2005 Turbo is an exceptional, turn key modern classic ready for immediate cross country touring.
