Chris-p Posted 16December, 2013 Report Share Posted 16December, 2013 For no other reason than curiosity does any of the oracles out there know how many 997.2 Carrera GTS's were sold in Australia. This was a special edition run out towards the end of the Model run prior to the release of the 991. I have only ever seen 2 up for sale so they are either tightly held or there was very few here.... Anyone have any idea? C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nath Posted 16December, 2013 Report Share Posted 16December, 2013 There's a white one up atm which in the comments claims it's one of 20 sold in Aus, not sure if it's true though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-p Posted 16December, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 16December, 2013 Thanks Nath, I saw the white one for sale, its one of the two I have seen. There was a silver one about a month ago. Have to look harder as I didn't see the "one of 20" comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nath Posted 16December, 2013 Report Share Posted 16December, 2013 Easy to miss with all the waffle in their comments. Guy had one at EC last week. They look good especially all that alcantara inside and the X51 power kit would be sweet but the asking price is a bit much IMO over the standard 997 S. The guy loved it with one problem, standard fit centre lock wheels make life a bit hard on a daily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-p Posted 16December, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 16December, 2013 Ha, yes I vagued out reading the comments. Agree re the cost and the centre lock wheels. I remember when they were first announced. It was a white coupe and blue convertible they used in the marketing. Thought both colours looked great and still do....

Scott930 Posted 16December, 2013 Report Share Posted 16December, 2013 There is a silver one that lives 2 houses away from me. It's very nice to drive too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-p Posted 16December, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 16December, 2013 Good on you Scott, lucky you. Yes I would imagine they would get up and go with just over 300kw C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GC9911 Posted 16December, 2013 Report Share Posted 16December, 2013 I followed one for a week in the Porsche Targa Tour 2012, thing went like a scalded cat! My 997 II carrera 4 could keep up with it in the corners but as soon as it saw a hint of a straight the GTS was gone big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nath Posted 16December, 2013 Report Share Posted 16December, 2013 I'd love to fit the power kit to the Carrera S, slightly costly and I think they'd find my body somewhere shortly there after when the wife found out, but it'd be a blast for the 2 mins I'd be alive to enjoy it..... Need a wealthy benefactor me thinks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withers Posted 17December, 2013 Report Share Posted 17December, 2013 I thought it was just 20 odd. One of friends was going to buy one but ended up going for a Aston Martin V8 Vantage instead. Much to my disappointment (until I saw the AM that is, aye carrumba what a machine). There was one at nick theodossi for a while, white one. Stunning machine!

Jimmy Posted 17December, 2013 Report Share Posted 17December, 2013 Could this be the next 991 GTS http://www.caradvice.com.au/264595/porsche-911-facelifted-991-spied-could-hint-at-upcoming-gts-variant/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberpunky Posted 18December, 2013 Report Share Posted 18December, 2013 Jim thanks for link. It mentions a Cayman and Boxster version GTS too, to sit above the S variants. A Cayman GTS would have to be just about the perfect sports car IMO. Can't wait for more info on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nath Posted 18December, 2013 Report Share Posted 18December, 2013 Yep. Another GTS and a 911 facelift, the GT2 has been spotted out and about as well so will we see the RS in 2015..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
