A rather strange thing has happened to the 997 Turbo: it has been slightly eclipsed. While the GT3 swanned off on our Car of the Year event (evo 099) and then got invited to join motoring royalty at our greatest ever group test (100), the Turbo has had to stand in the wings. It’s not that we don’t like the Turbo – far from it – it’s just that it doesn’t have the steering feel of the GT3, nor the wonderfully savage engine note.
And, ultimately, sheer grip isn’t as beguiling as rear-wheel drive. To rub salt into the wound, the inclusion of active suspension on the new GT3 means that it has even muscled in on the Turbo’s comfort trump card.
But there is one area where the Turbo is still very much king of the castle. If you want a haymaker to the base of your spine and acceleration that makes it slightly difficult to think properly then there’s nothing like a bit of forced induction. Compare the in-gear times (issues 094 and 103) and you’ll see that the Turbo has the GT3 licked.
If you’re buying a Turbo for its acceleration, you might as well make it as strong as possible, which is where DMS comes in. The Southampton-based company does discreet tuning, and from the outside you wouldn’t know that this car had been touched. It’s the same story inside.
There are carbonfibre highlights (I particularly like the steering wheel), and yellow dials and seatbelts (which sound hideous but actually look great against the otherwise plain-black interior), but all of this can be ordered direct from Porsche.
The DMS changes are all under the engine cover, where an extra 62bhp and 89lb ft of torque have been liberated through an ECU upgrade and a new exhaust (£2350 and £2644 respectively, including VAT and fitting). Even here things are kept discreet: the standard turbos have been retained and none of the electronic fiddling can be detected by Porsche’s diagnostics. For those happier to stray further from the standard car, there’s also the option of bigger variable turbine geometry turbos and over 600bhp, but as DMS’s Rob Young points out, the car we have here is more representative of what the vast majority of his customers want.
Fire-up the flat-six and the differences start to reveal themselves. One of the disappointments of the standard car is that it doesn’t quite sound angry enough given the way it flings you towards the horizon. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse deserve to be ushered in with a decent soundtrack, and the new exhaust ensures that happens. Importantly, though, it still manages not to be intrusive when you’re merely cruising across a continent. Not that the Turbo is really about cruising. It’s all about the big – bigger in the DMS – addictive rush as the needle passes 3000rpm and the turbos wake up. Nail the throttle in any gear and there’s a momentary gathering of breath to serve as a warning before, without any danger of a scrap of it being wasted, all 534bhp simply explodes, the digital speedo becoming a blur of scrambled digits.
DMS claims 3.3sec to 60mph, although the best we could manage was 3.7. That’s still mightily impressive, though – last year we clocked the standard 997 Turbo at 4sec dead, and the Carrera GT at 3.8sec… Our VBOX also shows the 0-100mph time is down from 8.7sec to 8.0.
Corners need patience, but Porsche’s (optional) ceramic composite discs allow you to brake oh-so-deep into them, which in turn helps point that light nose towards the apex. From that point on you can squeeze the throttle open, feeling the boost building in the turbos and the tyres smearing slightly as you wind off the lock. After which it’s goodbye GT3.
If you can afford a Turbo, you can happily afford the DMS tweaks, which seamlessly improve the Turbo’s best asset and rectify one of its slight weaknesses. There’s really no reason not to.
Porsche is celebrating a very special production milestone - the 200 000th Boxster has just rolled off the production line.
This landmark vehicle, a meteor grey metallic Boxster S, is being delivered to a customer in the US.
Michael Macht, Executive Vice President of production and logistics, said, "Ten years ago, no one would have believed what a huge success this Porsche mid-range roadster has become. Thanks to our flexible production system, we can manufacture the Boxster model series at both our main plant in Zuffenhausen and at Valmet. Today's milestone will especially inspire employees at both plants to continue the success story that is the Boxster."
For the current model year, which began on August 1, 2006, both Boxster models have been upgraded again. The power of the 2.7-liter component in the basic model has now been increased by five kW to 245 180 kW. The boxer engine in the latest Boxster S, which has grown in size from 3.2 to 3.4 liters, can unleash 217 kW, 15 more than its predecessor.
Orders for these new engined Boxster's in South Africa are very looking very positive.
TechArt boosted the standard 3.4-litre engine of the Cayman to 3.8-litre. The result is a power increase from 217 kW to 285 kW, while torque has been upped to 407 Nm.
This monster from TechArt goes from 0-100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds and top speed is now a super fast 285 km/h. The standard Cayman S races from 0-100 km/h in 5.4 seconds while reaching a top speed of 275 km/h.
Naturally TechArt also enhanced the Cayman's look with muscle gear such as a sportier front bumper, four front foglights and 20-inch wheels.
This stunning two-seater boasts a newly developed six-cylinder boxer engine with a capacity of 3.4 liters and an output of 217 kW.
The Cayman's maximum speed is 275 km/h and accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds.
Equipped with Porsche's VarioCam Plus system for variable intake camshaft control and valve timing, the Cayman S has a torque of 340 Nm with between 4 400 and 6 000 r/min.
The VarioCam Plus system was previously reserved for the 911 series. Power transmission is executed via a six-speed gearbox with short, precise shifting travel, which was taken from the Boxster S and further developed.
The familiar five-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission is also available on request, and has rocker switches in the steering wheel spokes for a sports gear shifting operation.
At first sight, the Cayman S looks likes a typical Porsche sports car. At the same time, however, its autonomous design ensures that it stands out against the Boxster and 911 Carrera.
The new front is accentuated by oval main headlamps and distinctive air inlets.
The fog lights integrated in the outside air inlets underline Porsche's current design philosophy. The low-lying upper windshield sill and the pronounced roof profile accentuate the unique and dynamic front view.
The model's rear view is defined by a large tailgate, powerfully sweeping fenders and an automatically extending wing. The distinctively styled dual exhaust outlet is located centrally below the fenders.
The tailgate has a large upward opening width for loading the 260-litre boot.
The aluminum chassis with a large track emphasizes the sporty, dynamic appearance of the vehicle, which is fitted as standard with 18-inch tyres.
In combination with Porsche Stability Management (PSM), also a standard feature, the chassis sets a benchmark in the area of driving dynamics and active driving safety.
Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) can be ordered as a option. This system lowers the body ten millimeters closer to the ground and automatically adjusts the suspension ratings to the given road conditions.
The driver can select the Normal or Sport programs via a button in the center console.
European sales of the Cayman will start in November, while it will only reach local shore in 2006.
