    997.2 Turbo S

    Have to admit that I quite recently got the production date of my new 997.2 Turbo S.
    It's on 26th Jun and for final delivery at the dealer it's necessary to add 4 workdays.
    Thus, I will probably on 30th June receive my new beast.Smiley
    Can't await it as y'll imagine, its overall a long time remainingSmiley

    Here are the ordered options. However, almost everything is standard:

    Exterior:  colour to sample, I chose "darkolivmetalic".
    Interior: leather black (not the two tone as offered) with yellow stitching
    Adaptive sports seats with full electric adjustment (free of charge)
    Porsche RS Spyder wheels (free of charge)
    Rear wiper
    Park Assist
    Heated seats
    Yellow seatbelts
    Electric sunroof
    Telephone modul
    Voice control
    Universal audio interface
    BOSE sound is standard

    The list price is about 183.000,- €

    In today's issue of the german AMS was a short "first driving impression" (not a test, not that meaningful). However, with the sports mode the Turbo S is supposed to have a more
    aggressive and deeper exhaust sound compared to the "normal" Turbo. Never heard that before.Smiley Are there any opinions here?

    I'll keep you updated and post the pics here...after the end of waiting time

    Re: 997.2 Turbo S

    Congratulations, great spec! Would be curious to hear a comparison between the exhaust sound of the two...


    Re: 997.2 Turbo S

    Looking forward to see some pics of the color to sample ... Looks very special

    Re: 997.2 Turbo S

    Conny

    First of all congratulations!  Tasteful configuration...I really like the "darkolive", just saw it recently on car...looks great and should suit the turbo very well.

    I read the ams article as well... the exhaust sound was always one of the main critics for the turbo. Didn´t the 997.2 turbo (non "s") also improved over the predecessor?

    May I ask when you actually ordered your car....so what was the lead time to delivery, was it extended due to the colour to sample, although darkolive had been standard just 2 years ago? Just considering a turbo s....not sure this or next year...

    All the best and enjoy the countdown to June 30!!!

    Grats Conny, love the color Smiley

    I'm expecting mine this week maybe Smiley


    Re: 997.2 Turbo S

    Wow!

    Is that this color (see picture), or is the pic tannengruen?

    Anyway, should be a pretty stunning color. Good luck with the waiting period, but i should be worth it in the end :PP00_0037_a4 (Custom).jpg

    Conny, congrats. I too am green, with envy.  

    BTW, speaking of green, I always "wonder" about a 911 in British racing green and beige int.

    @ all thank you for your congrats.Smiley


    I don't noticed an improvement during my testdrive with the 997.2 PDK with the sport button on.
    I ordered mine in the midst of march. Due to colour to sample the delivery get extended  at 1 month.
    Regular you can count with approx. 2 month for delivery.

    Thanks.
    The colour in your pic is actually "Tannengrün".
    Dark olive is hard to describe. Its mostly black with a little greenish shine only under sunny conditions.

    Re: 997.2 Turbo S

    Ah,... I remember that color. Saw it once on a Carrera, think it was a 996 or 997, and was pretty much sold... Very nice color, for those who love black but don't want to go black all the way.

    Looking forward to seeing the results of your attempts to make a picture of it that shows the color well!

    Re: 997.2 Turbo S

    yes, the 997.2 pdk turbo sounds totally different than gen 1.

    i have driven a friends .2 turbo nd it actually sounds good with a rather deep growl compared to my hoover setup in gen 1.

    it ws one of the firt things i noticed as soon as i stepped on th gaspedal....

    My dealer told me this date as "final production" and ready to pick up in Zuffenhausen.
    But I pick it at the dealer, so I've to add some days.

    Ah, sorry, you probably get me wrong.
    I don't get mine straight from the factory, but from my dealership and not in the vicinity of Stuttgart. Otherwise, it would certainly been interesting having a common ride. I wish you all the best with your new Cabrio in advance.

     Sorry Conny,only noticed now that you are in Munich

    I was thinking of driving down to lake Contance and back

    Could you suggest any itininreraries where i can fully enjoy my sweet ride?

    Thanks

    MyCab:

    That was my initial response as well. In close vicinity of Stuttgart, consider Schloss Solitude. Black Forest and Lake Constance would be recommendable. For detailed suggestions, there are members that live closer than me. Smiley
     


    Re: 997.2 Turbo S

    Greetings  Connie997 and Ferdie

    Thanks for the replies

    I am looking for any scenic and fun drive where i will be able to enjoy my convertible...

    ...any drive within 4-5 hours of Stuttgart

    If you know of a good itinerary in your area,i would love to hear about it

    Warm regards from south Florida


    Re: 997.2 Turbo S

    ^^^^OT: Besides rec. from the "locals," if you need a travel guide book, I think the Rick Steves' series are very good. I use these books religiously when I visit Europe and actually bought the Germany guide recently (plan changed in last minute to Sicily).

    I buy the current version, but a friend points out one could buy  "last year's model" (2009 book) that goes for pennies and cents!! (I have *no* idea how these guys make money.) Rick Steves 2009 Germany from Amazon.com

    Congrats on the wonderful car, and upcoming trip. Drive & park carefully (no door dent!) & enjoy in good health.

    SportCars comparison

    Here are the results of the current SportCars magazine (june issue), where they tested the  911 Turbo PDK, SLS AMG, R8 5.2 quattro:

    (911/SLS/R8)
    acceleration 0-100 kp/h: 3,3 * 3,9 * 3,9
    acceleration 0-200 kp/h: 10,8 * 11,1 * 12,0
    Quartermile: 11,26 * 11,70 * 11,90
    Tracktime Sachsenring (min): 1:36,86 * 1:37,17 * 1:37,48
    Tested consumption (l/100 km): 13,6 * 15,1 * 15,2

    So, what do you thing which car wins the comparison Smiley
    The Porsche?

    No, far away, her's the ranking:

    1. SLS
    2. Porsche
    3. Audi

    The Porsche suffers compared to Mercedes, because it's less confy and less suitable for everyday usage. I can't understand that judgement, though.
    The Porsche is a 4-wheel drive and much more spacious in the interior.
    And its doors are to me way better suited for daily use, than the wingdoors.
    Don't get me wrong, but this is a SPORTSCAR comparison, how can the most comfortable win?
    The reason will be known only by "Auto Bild Sportcars"....Smiley

    Re: SportCars comparison

    Conny, I fully agree with you. Totally strange final judgement. I had a chance to briefly try SLS with optional suspension. This car is not more comfortable then 997.2 Turbo. With 1.73m I am too short for normal use of wingdoors which BTW, do not close nicelly at all. DCT in SLS is IMHO not nearly as good as PDK in 997.2 Turbo. All in all not impressed with SLS at all. Specially for asking price.

    Since all German mags are pricing SLS very, very much indeed we can talk about "little bit too much MB love" here...
