Finished in the extremely rare shade of Dark Olive Metallic over Cocoa Natural Leather upholstery, this 2008 Porsche 997 Turbo Cabriolet was specified to an original MSRP exceeding $158k. It features an optional Tiptronic S transmission, the Sport Chrono Package Turbo, painted rocker panels, the Makassar Package, Makassar Switch Panel Package, Makassar door finishers, Adaptive Sport Seats, Aluminum-look seatbacks, and much more. Showing under 48k miles on the odometer, this tastefully appointed 997 is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Connecticut.
This example is finished in the seldom-seen shade of Dark Olive Metallic with a Cocoa cabriolet roof, body-color rocker panels and the deletion of the model designation. The Turbo-specific bodywork includes wider fenders, integrated side air intakes, unique bumpers, and a speed-activated rear spoiler. It rides on 19” 911 Turbo wheels wrapped in a set of new tires. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin is appointed with Cocoa Natural Leather complemented with the Makassar Package, the Makassar Switch Panel Package, and Makassar door finishers. Additional options include instrument dials in Carrara White, seatbelts in Silver, Adaptive Sport Seats, Aluminum-look seatbacks, a thicker steering wheel in leather, and front seat heating. Metal door sills with model insignias were also selected, along with the Parking Assist System and Sport Chrono Package Turbo, which adds a stopwatch dial to the dashboard. The seller notes slight wear on the driver’s side and ignition hole.
Powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter Mezger flat-six engine, the 997 Turbo sends up to 480 HP and 460 lb.-ft. of torque to all four wheels via a 5-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission. Equipped with the optional Sport Chrono Package Turbo, a temporary overboost setting for increased peak torque is enabled, allowing acceleration from 0-60 MPH in approximately 3.5 seconds, going on to reach a top speed of 193 MPH. No outstanding maintenance items have been reported.
This sale will include a clean title, owner’s manuals, a window sticker, a toolkit, an air pump, a car cover, and sales literature.
The seller would like you to know: “I love this car...I just haven't been driving it, and we downsized, so I am reluctantly listing this beautiful vehicle for someone else to enjoy. The car is completely up to date on its servie and has no issues mechanically at all. I just had new tires put on the car by Porsche of Danbury at the latest service. The color combo is gorgeous, and the car has been garage-kept since I bought it in 2011. Whoever ends up buying this car will love it from the moment they see it in front of them.”

@jpp3 there is nothing like that happening on this vehicle...the equipment is all in its place.
@rrstanz5441 There is a headliner under the convertible top when it is up and I have seen a few 996 and 997's where it has become detached from the frame and hangs down usually around the rear window area.
@jpp3 The car does come with the original keys and manuals...I am not sure what you are referring to in the top. The condition of the top is excellent. It has always been garage kept. Can you explain what you are referring to as the headliner with the top up....i can try to take a few pics of what that is and get them to you as these are all the pics I currently have. And the area of the driver seat is very small, right around shoulder level, there is some minor cracking
@skier Tip
Tip or PDK?

Do you have any photos showing the condition of the headliner front and back with the top up? Also, the photos of the top exterior appear to show a pull in the fabric or is it just the angle of the photo? Is the damaged leather on the drivers seat just scuffed or is it cracked or torn? Does the car come with both original keys and manuals? Thank you.

What a color combo! I have a Dark Olive Metallic Cayenne and pictures cannot do it justice. The camera simply cannot capture how beautiful the color is. It looks black at night and in the shade, olive in the sun, and in the morning light and golden hour the whole thing just pops green. It's stunning.
