generation is a difficult and often thankless task, especially for
those in love with the previous iteration. But when it comes to
improving on the seemingly un-improvable, the engineers at
Zuffenhausen have a 7-0 career record.� -Douglas Kott, Road &
Track, 12/29/11 � The 7-0 mark Road & Track's Douglas Kott referred
to in the magazine's review of the then-new 2012 Porsche 911
Carrera S relates to the seven generations of the famous marque.
Indeed, the 911 was, and is, the longest-running model in the
history of automobiles. And if you're a Porsche enthusiast, the
beginning of each new generation-in this case, the seventh, or 991
generation-can be a logical focal point, with the specific
new-generation cars often having added appeal and long-term
collectability value.� � So, how did the seventh generation Porsche
911 fare in the eyes of the automotive press back in late 2011?�� �
Road & Track: You could say this Porsche has made its competitors
mad as hell... but if the brilliance of the new car is any
indication, they'll have to continue taking it for decades to come.
� Car & Driver: Longer, lower, wider, faster, more fuel efficient,
and-amazingly-slightly lighter... the new Porsche 911 Carrera�is a
better car in every way. � Wired magazine: ... (this) 911 is a
stimulant, a drug. It wakes you up, smacks you around, and
convinces you that you are the single most important person on the
pavement. � It's fair to say the 2012 911 Carrera S was a
seventh-generation home run.�While sharing the basic proportions of
its predecessor (yet none of its component parts), the new 991
series was a true leap forward.�And the proof is in the
performance. Just consider the car's stunning numbers: circled the
skidpad in Road & Track's testing at an impressive 0.99g; recorded
a Nurburgring Nordschleife lap time of 7:40, a full 14 seconds
quicker than its predecessor; delivered zero to 60 mph in just 3.5
seconds; and traveled the quarter-mile in 11.8 sec. Every one of
these numbers represented equal or better performance versus the
previous-generation-based 911 GT3 RS 4.0. � The 2012 911 Carrera S
Cabriolet offered here is an exceptional example of Porsche's
premier model in its open-air-motoring variant. The more than 190
photographs taken from virtually every angle and presented on our
website, GarageKeptMotors dot com, speak to its near-perfect
condition, a testament to the fastidiousness of the car's only
owner since new. To that point, the included Carfax documents
consistent Porsche-dealer maintenance and service (Note: Service
providers, Delta Imports and Grand Rapids Porsche, are the same
enterprise) over the car's life. And its 17,000 total miles-fewer
than 2,500 per-year-further speaks to an owner who respected this
fine automobile. � A truly stunning combination of a Platinum
Silver exterior and 20-inch Porsche Classic wheels, with optional
Platinum Gray leather interior beneath a black fabric convertible
top, makes for a classic look. The car's original $108,000 base
price grew by nearly $30,000 with options specified, notably
including the PDK shiftable automatic transmission, dynamic chassis
control, sport exhaust, sport chronograph package, Burmester® audio
package and more. (Please see the window-sticker image in the photo
