The facelifted version of Porsche's 997 Turbo was unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show. It was fitted with a completely new 3.8-litre engine generating a maximum power output of 530bhp, thanks to revised Borg-Warner variable turbine geometry (VTG) turbochargers, whilst the optional 7-speed PDK dual-clutch gearbox replaced the Tiptronic. With PDK and the also optional Sport-Chrono package, which includes the availability of electronically controlled launch control and an over-boost function for temporarily increasing the turbo-pressure, Porsche claimed the 911 Turbo would accelerate from 0-62 mph in 3.4 seconds and before reaching a top speed of a staggering 194 mph.

Porsche has traditionally raised the appeal of the 911 Turbo during the latter part of its lifecycle with a heavily optioned 'S' model and the 997 Turbo is no exception. The twin-turbocharged 3.8-litre engine of the regular Turbo model has been subtly tweaked to boost performance and receives 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 530bhp and a continuous (not over-boosted) 516lb ft of torque. That's 30bhp and 37lb ft more than the Turbo resulting in a class-leading (at the time) 0-62 mph in 3.1 seconds although the top speed remained unchanged.

Originally supplied at a cost of around ú122,000, this powerful, second generation, 997 Turbo S was delivered through Porsche Centre Wilmslow in late 2011, freshly finished in sparkling Carrera White. Combined with the very well optioned black leather interior, the car presents itself as a refined Grand Tourer, but with 'supercar' performance. This Turbo S has been looked after by authorised Porsche Service Centres at the following intervals:

14/03/2013 Porsche Centre Sutton Coldfield at 3,309 miles

04/02/2015 Porsche Centre Exeter at 7,334 miles

16/02/2017 Porsche Centre Silverstone, at 9,651 miles

19/02/2019 Porsche Centre Silverstone, Surrey at 11,139 miles

Currently indicating just 16,900 miles and in sublime order, the car is supplied with a full history file, service book, V5C, an MOT until 2/03/2021 and the balance of the original Porsche Warranty valid until February 2021.

Combining earth-shattering performance with genuine day-to-day usability, the Turbo S is untouchable and, in this delightful colour combination as well as sensibly guided, appears irresistible.
