This Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet from the 997.2 series is an example of the “Edition 918 Spyder”, which was only produced 918 times as a Coupé or Cabriolet. This special model was launched in the course of the presentation of the high-performance hybrid supercar 918 Spyder in 2010, which was produced from 2013 to 2015. This 911 Turbo S edition was reserved only for those ordering a 918 Spyder, who could “bridge” the waiting and delivery time for their 918 Spyder with this Turbo and enjoy the anticipation. The 911 Turbo S of the edition had exclusive visual specifications of the 918 Spyder. These included coloured application in “Acid Green” on brake callipers, exterior mirror supports, lettering at the rear and in the door sills as well as various elements in carbon. In the interior, there are corresponding coloured decorative stitching on the seats and dashboard, lettering on the headrests and matching pointers in the dashboards. This vehicle was delivered to its first owner in Hamburg via the Porsche Centre Hamburg on 20 July 2012. It is number 797 of the “918 Spyder” special series in the colour scheme meteor grey metallic (anthracite) with full leather interior and soft top in black. The car has a quasi-full equipment, the extent of which is available in a separate listing. The car was later sold to a collector in Austria, but not registered there. The complete on-board folder with service booklet and all stamps as well as all owner’s manuals, service history, MOT (TÜV) reports from 2015, 2017 and 2019 as well as the last service invoice from 2019 at the Porsche Centre Hamburg are available.
In the summer of 2006, Porsche presented the fifth generation of the 911 Turbo (the 997 series). This Turbo had a 3.6 litre boxer engine with two turbochargers and, like the 993 and 996 series before it, permanent all-wheel drive. In addition, it was the first series-produced vehicle with a petrol engine from a German manufacturer with adjustable guide vanes on the exhaust turbines of the turbochargers (variable turbine geometry, VTG). The output was 480 hp. In the course of the facelift in model year 2009 (from now on 997.2), the turbo version received a larger displacement of 3.8 litres as well as direct injection and was available in two power levels: 500 hp (Turbo) and 530 hp (Turbo S). The 997.2 Turbo was available with manual 6-speed transmission or 7-speed Porsche Double Clutch Gearbox (PDK) – the Turbo S only with PDK. In addition, the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB), also known as the ceramic brake, was offered for the first time and was fitted as standard on the Turbo S.
