The 997.2 Turbo S holds a distinct place in Porsche’s modern history. With production numbers around 3,000 coupes worlwide, it remains one of the rarest Turbo S generations. It is among the final models to use the Mezger-based engine architecture, a design rooted in Porsche’s endurance racing programs. Enthusiasts value the 997 platform for its compact dimensions, hydraulic steering, and mechanical feel characteristics that shifted in later generations. The Turbo S combines these analog traits with advance systems such as PDK, PASM, PTV, and PCCB, creating a model that appeals equally to collectors and drivers seeking long-term significance.

The Turbo S is powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six producing 530 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, paired with the 7-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission. Independent testing recorded 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds and a 10.9-second quarter mile, performance figures that remain competitive today. What sets this example apart is how its systems work together: PCCB carbon-ceramic brakes provide consistent stopping power, Sport Chrono sharpens throttle and suspension response, and all-wheel drive delivers controlled acceleration in any condition. The result is a Turbo S that feels cohesive, responsive, and engineered for repeatable performance.

Behind the wheel, this 997.2 Turbo S stands out for its clarity and precision. The hydraulic steering communicates grip naturally, and the compact chassis makes placement intuitive at any speed. Power buldis immediately from low rpm, and the PDK shifts with accuracy that still feels modern. The combination of size, steering feel, and power delivey gives the car a character that many enthusiasts consider the ideal balance between analog engagement and modern compability. It is a car that rewards confident driving wihtout requiring it, making it suitable for both spirited use and everyday mileage.

The cabin is finished in Black/Crema Two-Tone Leather, a specification that adds contrast without compromising Porsche’s functional layout. Adaptive Sport Seats, Sport Chrono, and the Alcantara rooflining contribute to a purposeful environment suited for both daily driving and long-distance use. This example has been maintained with attention to detail, supported by paint protection film, new spare floor mats, a car cover, and complete documentation. It is also eligible for Porche’s factory Apple CarPlay retrofit, which enhances usability without altering originality. Its rare color, high-option specification, two-owner history, and connection to Hurley Haywood contribute to its long-term appeal within the 997.2 market.
