The 991 Carrera S continued the time honored Porsche 911 tradition of growing in physical size and power. Over the years the 911 has continued its evolution from a pure sports car to a luxurious super-car and the 2012 Carrera S Coupe was no exception
The seventh generation of the 911 launched in 2012 and it sits on a new platform, with a longer wheelbase and shorter overhangs. It also featured new headlights and taillights. Now constructed of almost 50 percent aluminum, including the doors, wings, lids, and roof, the body is about 50kg lighter and around 20-percent stiffer, the latter due in part to key uses of ultra-high-strength steel. Further, the body managed to successfully diet while growing more than 5cm in length (compared to the 997 GTS) and having a wheelbase stretched 10cm . The overhangs were shortened by 4cm up front and 1.5cm in the back compared to the previous S.
For the utmost in control and speed, the Sport Chrono Package is a must, as it includes launch control (for the PDK), a Sport Plus button for more aggressive throttle, exhaust, and dampening, and, most important, dynamic engine mounts that keep a leash on the engine’s centrifugal effect — the engine’s desire to move away from the direction of a turn.
Overall, the new Carrera S is better balanced, with a wider front track, bigger tyres, and longer wheelbase, and what you get is a four-seater that not only rides smoother and more controlled.
This car is one of only a handful 7 speed manuals ordered new to SA. It has the Sports Chrono pack, and is immaculate condition inside and out. The car has 59,000km with FSH and books and spare keys. A fantastic drivers car and one for the collector.
