Hexagon Classics are delighted to offer this very smart Platinum Silver metallic 997 Turbo S coupe, which also benefits from a very low mileage. A modern sports classic, our Turbo S is a stunning example of Porsche’s flagship road-going coupe, with a large optional specification that provides a real added treat for the driver.
The Turbo S added 40bhp and £20,000 to the standard Turbo’s already eye-wateringly extreme figures. Those figures, 530 BHP, 0 – 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds, and 0 -100 mph in 7.1 seconds speak for themselves. An increased top speed of 196 miles per hour is possible where conditions allow.
The engine received a nominal 1.0 bar of boost, (against 0.8 bar on the standard version), along with lightly modified turbocharger vanes and a carbon fibre air manifold to endow the S with a continuous 516 lb/ft. of torque. That’s 37 lb/ft more than the Turbo. The S also gained Porsche’s excellent seven-speed PDK dual-clutch gearbox, with paddle shift behind the steering wheel, and Sport Chrono Plus package for more spirited throttle, damper and stability control settings at the press of a button. Other developments included the latest 911 Turbo’s four-wheel drive hardware and PTV, or Porsche Torque Vectoring, which varied the drive to each individual rear wheel for more neutral cornering and spectacular traction. Despite its phenomenal performance, it is also an easy car to drive in all conditions.
Supplied new in November 2011 at Porsche Centre Reading, this 997 Turbo S is a genuine everyday, all-season proposition. It has very few automotive peers and will surely be a future Porsche classic. Our 997 Turbo S Coupe has enjoyed regular servicing, the most recent inspection service also included new spark plugs, brake fluid change and a new N-rated tyre set. All original books, spare remote key, and two VTS fobs are also present. The 997 Turbo S will be sold with a 12-month comprehensive warranty and is available to view now at our London showrooms.
