Porsche 997.2 Turbo

The 997.2 Turbo’s Notoriety: Its the last of the manual-operated 911 Turbo. For the NA-designated 997.2 Turbo series (2010 to 2013), only 1,000 left Stuttgart with a PDK gearbox while the remaining 488 were optioned with a traditional manual transmission. The 991 Turbo’s transmission offering was only limited to PDK and the upcoming 992 Turbo will 99.9% follow this formula as well. Not only are its successors lacking a manual transmission, but the 991s and 992 911s lack the preferable sizing that this example offers as it’s really the last of the svelte-shaped and “right-sized” Turbos that are inline to the original 911 Turbo’s (930) design philosophy.
