Product Overview
Porsche 911 997.2 Cabriolet is the facelifted version of the 997 mid-size convertible sports car in production from 2008 to 2012. It was available with a range of flat-6 engines that displaced 3.6 to 3.8 liters.
Compared to the pre-facelift 997, the 997.2 is most notable for the introduction of 7-speed PDK that supplanted the 5-speed ZF automatics. Porsche also introduced a Turbo S at the top of the 911 lineup with the highest amount of boost.
Other aspects of the vehicle remained the same.
