THE 997 .2 TURBO S

The Type 997 - introduced in 2004 - represented evolution rather than revolution, the most significant changes being to the interior and exterior styling. The latter marked a welcome return to the 911's traditional oval headlights, and the interior too was more classic 911 than that of the outgoing 996. The base 3.6-litre engine remained essentially the same as the Type 996's, while the more expensive 'S' models came with a more powerful 3.8-litre unit. For the time being the Turbo kept the '3.6', which now featured Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG) turbo-chargers for better throttle response. There was also a new four-wheel drive system, similar to the one found in the Cayenne luxury SUV. As is the case with many modern auto 'boxes, Porsche's Tiptronic got the Turbo off the line quicker than the manual-transmission version, the former racing to 100km/h in 3.7 seconds compared with the latter's 3.9.

For 2010 the Turbo received the 3.8-litre engine developing 500bhp. Its top speed remained unchanged at around 311km/h (193mph), but when equipped with the optional seven-speed PDK transmission and Sport Chrono Plus system, the Turbo could get to 100km/h (62mph) in a mere 3.1 seconds with 100mph coming up 3.8 seconds later. Even today, there are few cars that can match this stupendous performance. Introduced in 2010, the Turbo S was a fully optioned model equipped with the PDK dual-clutch gearbox and sports exhaust as standard. It also featured re-engineered turbochargers and came with a mighty 530 horsepower on tap.

OUR 997 .2 TURBO S

The Turbo S Coupé offered here was built to Swedish specification and purchased new by the first owner in March 2012. Finished in Meteor Grey Metallic with contrasting black leather interior and the Sport Chrono Package, this Turbo S will ultimately be seen as an engineering masterpiece.

It represented the ultimate in performance with sledgehammer acceleration and an engaging drive. If you had to reverse-engineer back to a driving experience second to none, you would stop in 2010 with the Turbo S. Matched to that, add superb reliability and drivability and you have probably the most involving Porsche to date.

Supplied new by the Porsche Centre Stockholm, it will have its major service done in May 2024 by Porsche Centre West-Flanders and has covered only 44.000 since new. The car comes complete with its dealer book pack, a complete service record and both keys.

The 997 Mk.II gen cars are some of the most pure, most exciting modern days Porsche and the Turbo S is still very fast by today's standards; this surely is one not to be missed.
