These elements counterbalance the changes made on the 996 generation in order to compensate for the mixed reactions. The 997 was updated in 2008 with numerous improvements. It has a 385-horsepower flat 6 with direct fuel injection and a new automatic transmission called PDK.

The Porsche 997.2 Carrera S Cabriolet, the second generation of the Porsche 997 series, marks a significant evolution in the history of the brand. Launched in 2008, this updated version persisted until 2012, offering technical and aesthetic improvements over its predecessor, the 997.1.

On the aesthetic level, the 997.2 is distinguished by subtle but significant changes. The headlights, inherited from the 996's “frog eye” controversy, return to a more traditional design reminiscent of those of the 993. The front includes larger air intakes, and at the rear, the lights have been redesigned with LED technology. The convertible maintains the soft top, favoring a classic line and a contained weight.

Under the hood, the 997.2 Carrera S Cabriolet houses a 3.8-liter 6-cylinder boxer engine, producing 385 horsepower, an increase from the 355 horsepower of the 997.1 model. This engine allows the vehicle to reach 0 to 100 km/h in about 4.7 seconds, with a maximum speed of around 300 km/h. The direct fuel injection system, a first for the Carrera, improves fuel efficiency and reduces emissions.

Drivetrain is another area where the 997.2 shines. Buyers had a choice between a 6-speed manual transmission and the new 7-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission. The latter offers faster gear changes and better fuel efficiency. The Porsche Active Suspension System (PASM) is standard, allowing the driver to choose between various suspension settings, thus adapting the car to various road conditions and driving styles.

Inside, the Carrera S Cabriolet is equipped with high-quality materials and ergonomic design. Technology integration includes the Porsche Communication System (PCM) with improved navigation and audio interface. Options such as adaptive sports seats, the Bose sound system, and the Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) were available.

The Porsche 997.2 Carrera S Cabriolet represents a significant advance over its predecessor, successfully combining technical improvements and refined design. It remains a notable example of Porsche engineering and design, offering high performance without compromising luxury and comfort.
