2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S (997.2)

The Porsche 997 is the internal designation for the Porsche 911 range, manufactured between late 2004 and 2013. It replaced the Porsche 996 range and was superseded by the Porsche 991. The 997 range was updated in 2009, including styling changes and, most significantly, a revised engine with direct injection and the introduction of the PDK gearbox. A more powerful version of the Turbo called the Turbo S was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2010.

The twin turbo flat six engine produces 390 KW or 530 HP with 700 NM of torque available. With Launch Control and the Sport Chrono Package the car accelerates from 0-100 in 3,3 seconds and reaches 200 Km/h in only 10,8 seconds. Top speed quoted from the factory is 315 Km/h. When Car Magazine tested this car, they recorded several 0-100 times sub 3 seconds, with the best time recorded a blistering 2,8 seconds!

The Turbo S was only available with the 7 speed PDK gearbox. All-wheel drive with Porsche Traction Management (PTM) is standard as well as Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) and a mechanical rear differential lock. Dynamic Engine mounts also come standard on the Turbo S, further enhancing the handling characteristics of the car.

The list of standard equipment on the car is impressive and includes:

• Ceramic brakes (PCCB)
• Dynamic cornering lights
• 19-inch RS Spyder look wheels with centre locking
• Adaptive Sport seats
• All leather interior
• Navigation
• Phone
• CD/DVD changer, to mention but a few.
