that's a Mezger motor 997 GT engine car. if it were mine I'd have it towed to a shop that knows these cars. All fluids, and plugs changed, and likely remove the fuel tank. The pump is in the tank on these. these are very robust cars, but you don't want to do something that will cause an issue as the engines are also extremely expensive to repair. The fuel lines are solid to the back, likely OK but need to be flushed. Also check the power steering fluid, the seals can leak and you do not want the seals at the pump leaking on the exhaust as pentosin is highly flammable. You'll also want to have the car looked closely over for any rodent damage, especially engine harness wiring. Eyeball brake pistons make sure no corrosion (should be fine), and replace the tires.The GT1 engines also have an issue with coolant pipes at the engine. If the car is low miles likely no issues, but, have the shop inspect all the fittings to ensure none are leaking. These are 7 or 8 of them on the turbos and 2 plastic ones on the engine oil cooler that can all leak and blow.
