Porsche 911 Turbo

The 997.2 generation 911 Turbo was a meaningful evolution over its predecessor, gaining a larger 3.8-litre engine, direct fuel injection, and — in this car's case — the seven-speed PDK twin-clutch gearbox that made an already rapid machine genuinely effortless. With 500 bhp distributed through all four wheels, the PDK-equipped Turbo reaches 62 mph in 3.4 seconds and runs on to 194 mph, figures that still hold up well against modern machinery.

This 2010 car presents in GT Silver over Terracotta leather adaptive sports seats — a warmer, more distinctive combination than the period default of black. The factory options list is well-chosen: Sport Chrono with Sport Plus, BOSE audio, heated seats, rear parking sensors, clear rear light lenses, and stainless steel door entry guards, alongside the PDK with Sport Design steering wheel. PASM and PSM are standard fitment. At 48,164 miles from new, it sits at a reasonable point on the mileage curve for a 16-year-old car — depreciated without being worn.

Paragon's history with the car — having previously sold and serviced it — provides some continuity of knowledge rarely found with used exotics. It's prepared to their standard spec: full service, fresh MOT, and a 12-month parts and labour warranty included.
