Porsche 997.2 Turbo S

The vehicle in detail

This convertible stands out thanks to its attractive features, including surfaces painted in the car’s body color within an inviting two-tone black/cream interior. It is one of only approximately 582 997.2 Turbo S convertibles delivered in North America in 2011. Of these 582 vehicles, it is one of approximately 41 with the special “Black” package and a full leather interior in black and cream.

The odometer on this Turbo S reads just 18,XXX miles. The equipment list (original list price: $180,990) includes the following features: 19-inch 911 Turbo II wheels; XM® satellite radio receiver; Turbo S two-tone paint; full leather interior in black/cream; door panels in body color; aluminum PDK shift lever and parking brake lever; black convertible top; wheels painted in body color; trim on the switch panel in body color. Illuminated door sills; center console painted in exterior color; sport seat backs painted in exterior color; illuminated stainless steel door sills.

What makes the 997.2 Turbo S so special: It offers 30 PS and 49 Nm more torque than the standard 997.2 Turbo, as well as numerous standard performance features. These include the Sport Chrono Package Turbo with dynamic engine mounts and an overboost function. It also features Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) and Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brakes (PCCB), which save weight, reduce brake dust, and improve responsiveness. Compared to earlier 911s, the 997.2 strikes just the right balance in terms of size. Many see it as the last Turbo of the ideal size, one that still adheres to the classic proportions and philosophy of the 930.
