2012 | Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet
Overview
The 997 generation of the Porsche 911, introduced in 2004, marked a return to traditional Porsche styling and included significant technological advancements. Within this generation, the range-topping 911 Turbo S model, launched in 2010, stood out for its performance and engineering prowess. It featured a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engine, incorporating Porsche's innovative Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG) technology. This technology allowed for increased power and efficiency, contributing to the Turbo S's capability. The car was equipped with a seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) transmission, offering rapid gear changes. The Turbo S model also included Porsche's all-wheel-drive system, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), and Porsche Stability Management (PSM), enhancing its handling and driving dynamics.
The 2012 model year of the 997 Porsche 911 Turbo S received further refinements. The engine's output was increased to 500 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque, maintaining the use of VTG for optimal power delivery. The 2012 Turbo S also featured enhanced aerodynamics and a lightweight yet rigid body construction, contributing to its agility and performance. This model was equipped with Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB), ensuring effective stopping power and durability under high-performance conditions. Interior upgrades included a more driver-focused cockpit with advanced infotainment options and luxurious materials, offering a blend of performance and comfort. Externally, the 2012 Turbo S maintained the distinctive 911 silhouette, with specific design elements that subtly distinguished it as a high-performance variant in the 997 lineup, including a power-retractable soft top for the Cabriolet model.
The 2012 Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet offered here is finished in GT Silver Metallic with a black fabric convertible top and features a host of desirable options. Outside, body-color side skirts hug the ground while black side air intakes and 19-inch OZ Racing center-locking wheels provide contrast. Underneath, a Fabspeed exhaust system amplifies the rev-happy chorus of the flat-six. Inside, the handsome cabin is trimmed in black full leather extending to the heated and ventilated 12-way power-adjustable bucket seats with embossed Porsche crests. Further luxury touches include the leather-wrapped steering wheel, seat belts in Guards Red, illuminated door entry guards, aluminum driver-side footrest, and deviated color stitching throughout the cabin. The Sport Chrono timer in Carrara White keeps drivers informed along with the onboard trip computer, navigation, and communication system, while a rear park assist system adds convenience wherever the road may lead.
