Spanning a good portion of the 1990s, it's regarded as the pinnacle of air-cooled 911 development and performance. That's because it's the last air-cooled generation, and in recent years, values of all 993 trims have increased significantly. Factor in some Hollywood star power, and you get a 1997 911 Turbo selling for almost half a million dollars. In this instance, the star power is extreme. Denzel Washington has won multiple awards in his near half-century career, including two Oscars.
Apparently, he also loves the 911 because this auction listing at Bring a Trailer states he bought the car brand new in 1997. He's shown as the only owner in the 911's 25-year history, and it hasn't merely sat in a collection that entire time. An image of the dash shows 18,145 miles on the odometer – certainly not much but it suggests the car was enjoyed for the performance icon it is.
