Porsche 997.2 Turbo S

The vehicle in detail

Under the hood of the 997 Turbo S is a 3.8-liter six-cylinder boxer engine with two turbos and variable turbine geometry. This engine delivers an impressive 530 hp and a torque of 700 Nm. This power allows the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 315 km/h.

The addition of the Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) transmission takes performance to the next level. This 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission delivers lightning-fast gear changes without interruption in power, contributing to the unparalleled acceleration and smoothness of the ride.

The 997 Turbo S is equipped with a range of advanced systems that optimise the driving experience. Porsche Traction Management (PTM) ensures efficient distribution of power to all four wheels, maximising traction and stability. In addition, the car is equipped with Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) and a mechanical rear differential, resulting in improved handling and precision when cornering.

To safely bring the enormous power to a halt, the Turbo S is equipped with Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) as standard. These high-performance brakes not only provide superior braking power, but also reduce unsprung weight, which contributes to better roadholding. The adaptive Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system automatically adjusts the damping to suit the driving conditions, seamlessly combining comfort and sportiness.

The exterior of the 997 Turbo S is distinguished by its streamlined profile, wide wheel arches with the characteristic air intakes and rear spoiler. Specific Turbo S details, such as the 19-inch Turbo II alloy wheels and the bi-xenon headlights with dynamic cornering lights, accentuate the sporty character.

Inside, the car offers a luxurious yet functional interior. High-quality materials such as (optional) leather and (optional) carbon fibre are abundantly present. The sports seats with memory function, the Bose surround sound system and the advanced Porsche Communication Management (PCM) with navigation and touchscreen control panel contribute to the comfort and convenience.

All in all, the 2011 Porsche 997 Turbo S PDK is a work of art that pushed the boundaries of what was possible in a sports car of its time. It is the ultimate expression of Porsche’s dedication to performance, innovation and craftsmanship. For enthusiasts who demand the very best, this car remains a timeless choice that impresses on both the road and the track.
