The Porsche 911 is a two-door, 2+2 high performance rear-engine
classic German sports car made since 1963. It has a rear-mounted
six cylinder boxer engine and all round independent suspension. It
has undergone continuous development, though the basic concept has
remained unchanged. The engines were air-cooled until the
introduction of the Type 996 in 1998, with Porsche's "993" series,
produced in model years 1994-1998, being the last of the air-cooled
Porsches.
In the 1999 international poll to determine the Car of the Century,
the 911 came fifth. It is one of two in the top five that had
remained continuously in production and was until 1998 a successful
surviving application of the air-cooled opposed rear-engine layout
pioneered by its ancestor, the Porsche 356. It is one of the oldest
sports coup� nameplates still in production with one million
manufactured as of May 2017.
The 996-series was replaced with the 997 in 2005. It retains the
996's basic profile, with an even lower 0.28 drag coefficient, but
draws on the 993 for detailing. In addition, the new headlights
revert to the original bug-eye design, drifting from the teardrop
scheme of the 996. Its interior is also similarly revised, with
strong links to the earlier 911 interiors while at the same time
looking fresh and modern. The 997 shares less than a third of its
parts with the outgoing 996, but is still technically similar to
it.
The 2009 model year 997 received a larger air intake in the front
bumper, new headlights, new rear taillights, new clean-sheet design
direct fuel injection engines, and the introduction of a
dual-clutch gearbox called PDK. They were also equipped with
Bluetooth support.
The Turbocharged version of the 997 series featured the same 3.6 L
twin-turbocharged engine as the 996 Turbo, with modifications to
produce 473 HP and 457 lb�ft of torque. It has VTG (variable
turbine geometry), that combines the low-rev boost and quick
responses of a small turbocharger with the high-rev power of a
larger turbocharger. It also offers higher fuel efficiency compared
to the 996 Turbo. The 997 Turbo features a new all-wheel-drive
system, similar to the one found on the Porsche Cayenne. The new
PTM (Porsche Traction Management) system incorporates a
clutch-based system which varies the amount of torque to the wheels
to avoid tire slippage. According to Porsche, redirecting torque to
control oversteer or understeer results in neutral handling as well
as greatly improved performance in all weather conditions.
For the face lifted 2010 model year 911 Turbo, known internally as
the 997.2. The PTM system has now been tweaked to give a more
rearward power bias. The new 911 Turbo introduces paddle shifters
for the PDK double-clutch gearbox. The new 911 turbo uses a
different engine. The previous water-cooled turbos (996 and 997)
measured 3600cc. This new engine measures 3800cc (3.8 liters) and
was first developed for the Carrera that was launched in 2008. The
variable-vane twin turbochargers have also been reworked to
increase responsiveness, and the intercooler and fuel system have
been uprated. It develops 486 HP which is 20 HP more than the
previous model.
The steering wheel also houses a display showing when Sport, Sport
Plus and launch control have been selected through the optional
Sport Chrono package. Porsche claims the new 911 turbo will go from
0 to 62 mph in 3.4 seconds, or 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds and can
attain a top-speed of 194 MPH. 0-60 Times for the Convertible Turbo
is 3.5 Seconds.
As with the 996 Turbo the car featured distinctive styling cues
over the Carreras including front LED driving/parking/indicator
lights mounted on a horizontal bar across the air intakes. The
traditional rear wing is a variation of the 996 bi-plane unit.
A new 911 Turbo S was set for production in 2010. It is a fully
optioned Porsche 911 Turbo with a PDK gearbox and sports exhaust as
standard. It also comes with re engineered turbos to give an extra
30 horsepower to a total of 516 HP. This allowed a Turbo S
Convertible to attain a 0-60 time of 3.1 Seconds.
This Particular car is in great condition with less then 30K miles
since new and a clean Carfax. It is stunning in Triple Black and
drives excellent. Brakes have just been done on it and the tires
are fresh ensuring this car is ready to provide an amazing driving
experience for its new owner. Original books and both keys are
included and this Turbo S will not disappoint.
