Background
Production of the all-new generation 991-series 911 Carrera S began in 2011, it featured a revised 3.8 litre engine with Direct Fuel Injection DFI with increased power/torque, revised suspension system, lighter restyled body, larger air intakes, sculpted LED rear and front daylight running lights, all new Porsche Communication Management PCM 3.1 System with touchscreen, hard drive navigation/music jukebox and Bluetooth audio streaming as well as phone connectivity (as options – fitted to this car). Despite a 100mm longer wheelbase, overall length is only increased by around 40mm and weight is actually reduced by 45kg due to intelligent use of composite alloys that not only add up to 25% rigidity, but reduce weight too. The roofline is actually lower than the previous 997 generation 2, however cabin space has also significantly increased in all dimensions, making this an even more useable, yet stylish, updated 911 with clear classic Porsche lineage.

“Once again, Porsche has hit the nail absolutely plumb on the head with its most treasured sports car and gone straight back to the top of the class. The 991-generation Porsche 911 is a triumph. Those who frowned at the mention of so much efficiency-enhancing technology, or who suggested the 911 would somehow lose its dynamic sparkle this time around, should simply have had more faith in the company that has delivered this incredible car to into its fifth decade. Here’s the bottom line: at the limit of grip, the 991 still handles like a true 911. And during sporting road driving, it communicates, entertains and involves as vividly as any that proceeds it.”

Exterior
The optional GTS SportDesign Aerokit front bumper, clear glass rear taillights and 5mm wheel spacers add massively to the exterior styling. Our hand selected Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet looks stunning in its metallic coat of Basalt Black, a striking colour for the 991, especially with the optional Diamond Cut Carrera Classic lightweight alloy wheels with colour Porsche Crests. The paintwork condition is excellent, with no blemishes on any panel. The 911 Carrera S has been machine polished and waxed with Auto Finesse Soul Carnauba Wax by us, which will help protect the paintwork and repel surface contaminants. All the trim has a perfect finish, as do the front and clear rear lights, which are free from any damage or moisture buildup. The windows drop as they should when you open the door. The engine and boot struts also operate as they should. The Black Mohair fabric hood is in excellent condition and operates perfectly, stationary and up to 30mph. It has a heated glass screen and remote key operation. We have cleaned and retreated the hood with Autoglym and Autofinesse products so it will remain in fantastic condition for the foreseeable future.

Interior
The 911 Carrera S comes with the incredible 14-way electric Sports Seats that have the lumbar support system, 3-stage seat heating and position memory. The optional memory system stores the drivers seat position, both mirrors position and optional steering column position in each of the two original Porsche keys, plus 2 extra profiles accessed on the drivers door panel. An optional easy access function can also be enabled which moves the seat back and steering wheel up on entry/exit, making it easy to get in and out, even when you are parked in a tight space. The seat and wheel automatically return to the stored positions when you get in and put the key in the ignition. Just like the rest of the Black extended leather interior, they are in excellent condition and provide a perfect pairing to the Basalt Black metallic bodywork. This 911 has the optional Heated Leather Multi-function steering wheel, which has PDK shift levers and controls for the PCM and Phone functions. There are no marks or signs of wear to any of the trim, panels or switchgear, with the leather retaining a wholly fresh appearance throughout.

Engine and Transmission
Our 911 Carrera S is equipped with the 3.8 litre flat six DFI engine, which addressed all previous weaknesses of the 996 and 997 first generation engines. The 911 Carrera S engine produces 400bhp and 325ft-lb of torque. The axle load distribution of approximately 40:60 ensures high directional stability and superb road behaviour. The engine starts cleanly when cold or hot, there is no smoke whatsoever either at startup or when driving. There are no unusual sounds or rattles when the engine is running. Our 911 Carrera S is equipped with the highly desired PASM switchable sports suspension system, which includes the dashboard switch that stiffens the suspension in an instant, increasing connection to the road. PASM equipped cars also sit 10mm lower than non PASM cars.

Another addition is the exceptional Porsche Switchable Sports Exhaust PSE which significantly improves the sound of the 911 on any journey, without being too loud or intrusive.

The Carrera S is also fitted with Sport Chrono Plus Package, which adds a SPORT and SPORT PLUS button that sharpen the throttle response, decreases shift speeds, hold gears for longer and blips the throttle on downshifts whilst also adding a dashboard mounted stopwatch to add to the sporting image of the 911. The optional 7-speed double-clutch PDK transmission system provides instant changes, unleashing the power of the engine with minimal fuss. Because it has been specified in combination with Sport Chrono Plus Package, it unlocks additional shift speeds in both SPORT PLUS and LAUNCH CONTROL modes. These modes are only available with these options selected from the factory along with PDK. They enable the Carrera S to respond and accelerate faster than the standard car, reducing the in-gear acceleration and the headline 0-60mph time by 0.3 seconds to just 4.2 seconds.

This Carrera S has the PADM dynamic engine/transmission mounts, which electronically control the oscillations and vibrations of the entire drivetrain, especially the engine. By adapting stiffness and damping characteristics to changes in driving style and road surface conditions, the dynamic gearbox mounts combine the benefits that otherwise distinguish hard and soft gearbox mounting arrangements. For the driver, the results are tangible. Handling is perceptibly more stable under load-change conditions and in fast corners. Whenever a less assertive driving style is adopted, the dynamic gearbox mounts automatically soften to enhance comfort. You experience the best of both worlds—uncompromisingly sporty performance in corners, yet with a high degree of comfort. The Sport or Sport Plus button enables you to switch the dynamic gearbox mounts from Normal to Sport or Performance mode. In conjunction with the optional PCM, the TFT screen in the right-hand circular instrument cluster enables you to view the lateral and longitudinal G-forces as they act on the vehicle.

One other optional feature fitted to this 911 is Porsche Torque Vectoring PTV Plus, a system that actively enhances vehicle dynamics and stability. Operating in conjunction with the electronic rear locking differential, it works by braking the rear wheels as the situation demands, to improve steering response and steering precision by specific braking of the right or left rear wheel. To be more precise, this means that when the car is driven assertively into a corner, moderate brake pressure is applied to the inside rear wheel. Consequently, a greater amount of power is distributed to the outside rear wheel, inducing an additional rotational pulse (yaw movement) around the vehicle’s vertical axis. This results in a direct and sporty steering action as the car enters the corner. At high speeds and when accelerating out of corners, the rear differential lock ensures greater driving stability, outstanding traction, as well as greater agility, precise steering, and stable load transfer characteristics. In summary, the 991-series Carrera S offers unrivalled driving pleasure at every twist and turn.

Wheels, Tyres and Brakes
Our 911 Carrera S Cabriolet comes fitted with the Diamond Cut 20-inch Carrera Classic lightweight alloy wheels with optional colour Porsche Crests, which are unmarked, free of kerbing damage and corrosion. The brake discs and pads are in good condition with minimal wear. The tyres are Porsche N rated Pirelli P Zero high performance tyres, with lots of tread left all round.
