What is a Porsche 997 Gen 1.5 Turbo?!

The Porsche 997 Turbo gives you genuine supercar levels of performance in a package that’s also suitable for daily driving, so no wonder they’re perennially popular. There were two generations of 997 Turbo, split between the Gen1 models (2006-09) and Gen2 (2009-10). So what on earth was a 997 Gen 1.5?! In this video, Lee gets a test drive in one, to find out exactly why it’s considered a sweet spot in the 997 turbo story.

Thanks to Henry at Lakeside Classics for allowing me to drive this nice example from his current stock! More details on the car can be found here.
