2002 Porsche 911 Turbo

Description

This 2002 Porsche 911 Turbo is a low-mileage sleek sports car legend. It's the kind of sports car where its desirability is ensured by a mix of heritage, rarity, and top-quality engineering. So when you can find an example that is as well-preserved as this, you know this is the Porsche you want to collect.

This car has only averaged about 2,700 miles annually. While that's already impressive, the way the Arctic Silver smoothly shows off the curves gives the impression of a car that's only even traveled a tenth of the odometer. There's an easy formula to understand why this car continues to look so impressive as it fulfills its second decade. The 911 Turbo is an instant collectible, and so every so often you can find enthusiasts like you who believe a supercar needs to be driven with respect. So that robust German build quality that was there on day one is still seen in the way this one sleekly shows off the iconic 911 curves. The body lines are especially important because this generation 911 seems to be that ideal placement where it continues the unmistakable visual cues from the original car, and at the same time, it has a longer, wider, and sleeker look that comes from performance evolution. You see it in everything from the elongated headlights with clear lenses, to the Turbo's special widebody dimensions. And while the appearance is pure performance, Porsche also knows about sophistication. That's how the 18-inch alloys are stylishly coordinated in silver, and at the same time, they announce the speediest of intentions with the red brake calipers peeking out from within.

The black interior is one of those ideal setups. The supple and dark leather set the right premium and upper-class tone. German cars are some of the best at ergonomics, and the 996-generation Porsche proves it the moment you sit in the contoured bucket seats. It's thoroughly modern and comfortable enough to drive every day, and yet still the setup is aimed at enthusiastic drivers. So it's everything you'd expect from one of the world's most storied marques. The leather-wrapped sports steering wheel gives a clear view to the full gauge package (the tach is the most prominent piece in these competition-inspired Porsches.) As expected from a premium Porsche, this one comes loaded. It includes features like power seats, heated seats, an AM/FM/cassette stereo with CD changer, power windows, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, cruise control, power steering, power sunroof, and ice-cold air conditioning. A modern classic also means modern safety features such as dual front airbags, side airbags, and ABS.

The correct fuel-injected 3.6-liter motor is under the rear hatch, and when Porsche adds a turbocharger at their handcrafted factory, you know you're in for something special. Engineered to produce 415 horsepower, it was more than the Ferrari 360 rival. And while the history makes it special, the level of investment in this one is what keeps it desirable. We have receipts documenting major maintenance details within the last few years, including a new transmission mount, new oil cooler, turbocharger cooling service, and service for the rear wing that changes the aerodynamics at speed. It even has the right little things like a proper full oil change at the Porsche dealer within the last few months. It makes for the kind of modern classic that you'll confidently add to the low odometer. You'll also enjoy this one because of how versatile the full package is. The five-speed automatic transmission offers easy grand touring cruising. But this can also be manually shifted for performance car driving, and Porsche even puts the gear indicator in the instrument cluster because it knows its drivers take this kind of thing seriously. The fully-independent suspension is engineered to be one of the best around. It also works with the all-wheel drive system, a new set of Michelin Pilot sport tires, and drilled four-wheel power disc brakes to remind you why the Porsche 911 Turbo will always be at the top of its class.

This is the speedy and preserved Porsche of your dreams, and the price has never been more obtainable. Don't miss this deal, call today!
