2016 Porsche 911 991.2 Carrera S

Motoring press called it a car ‘carved from billet’ and Porsche refer to the Type 991 Porsche 911 Carrera S as the sum of all its predecessors, the accumulation of 52 years of R & D.

Featuring an all-new direct-injected 3.0 litre twin-turbo boxer engine with a thumping sound, producing 309kw (40% more power on tap than the car it replaces), combined with styling and equipment tweaks including an all-new infotainment system with Apple interface and a manettino style dial derived from the 918 Supercar that allows you to choose from standard, Sport, Sport+ and Individual drive modes the Type 991 911 Carrera S packs more power, torque, pace and engineering wizardry than ever.

Offered here is a 2016 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet delivered new by Porsche Centre Willoughby and ordered in dark Basalt Black Metallic over Red leather with contrast Gloss Black 20-inch alloys and Black soft top.

Complete with a up-to-date factory service history, this well-kept Carrera S is optioned with:

• Sports Exhaust

• Heated seats

• Memeory Seats

• 7 Speed PDK Transmission

• Sports Crono

• Alloys in Gloss Black

• Carbon Interior pack

In outstanding condition and travelled just 44,665 kilometres this well optioned Carrera S also features Porsches Active Suspension Management (PASM), active aero louvres with substantial drag and downforce benefits, PCM infotainment - a touch screen based system including Apple CarPlay and other app-based functions with BOSE DAB+ digital radio and a reversing camera. This is a 911 driving Porsche into the future.

With the PDK transmission, this Carrera S Cabriolet now breaks the four-second barrier, 0-100km/h in just 3.9sec and cleverly manages to maintain a significant part of the signature sound and feel of the superseded 3.0 litre atmo engine.

The crackle, snap and pop of the S engine and Sports exhaust delivered on the overrun when in Sport or Sport+ modes is a treat and the rest of the drive experience is as you’d expect; great feel through both ends of the car and arguably the best blend of ride and handling available on the road today.

Exceptionally well maintained and optioned to extract the most out of what this sweet spot package for Porsche can do, this 911 991 Carrera S is the perfect mobile office and ballistic missile combo you’ll find. All that’s left to do now is enjoy it.
