Zürich sight: rare 996Turbo S with PCCB!

[stmoritzer]

To see a 996TT in Switzerland is not difficult, but a Turbo S with PCCB is rare and I was surprised to see one in a small street in the middle of the city.

Time to share these pics with you :) , enjoy !

Nice sighting! I'm curious how the PCCB hold up in the long term.

^ Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes. ;)

Nice sighting mate, still an awesome car even with the 997 now out. :D

[pzgren]

very nice sighting mate - i wish mine had pccb :P maybe the next porsche

the 996 turbo ist still a very nice car, even compared to the 997 Turbo

[stmoritzer]

What's PCCB? :oops:

as dingo said, PCCB = Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes
cost about 12'000$ and you recognize them having yellow brake calipers instead of the red ones :idea:

[RC45]

These are rare cars? Sounds like I should post up the 996 TurboS PCCB In Depth shots from this weekend then... :P

[MartijnGizmo]

What's PCCB? :oops:

as dingo said, PCCB = Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes
cost about 12'000$ and you recognize them having yellow brake pads instead of the red ones :idea:

Pads or calipers? ;)

[stmoritzer]

^ :oops: , calipers of course, changed the sentence

[TT]

Not a fan of black Porsches, but a Turbo is always a Turbo and the yellow calipers always give a nice visual touch, carbon or not ;)

[Pehtren]

I think it looks really good in black 8) , and its a Turbo S :drool:

Thanks for the pics stmoritzer, they are really grea :P

[Schwalbe]

Thanks stmoritzer for this great picture gallery which is featuring a very nice black 996 turbo S that you saw. :good:

[JoeHahn]

Didnt the Turbo S come standard with PCCB - kind of a marketting ploy to give their customers the X50+PCCB for a cheaper price. Anyhow, got some nice pics of the beast there :)

[MartijnGizmo]

You're right, PCCB is stock on the Turbo S. 8)

[stmoritzer]

^ I guess yes - the "rare" in the title meant the "S", but also a normal Turbo with PCCB is very rare


^ Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes. ;)



Heh, thanks. All those abbreviations make my head spin. Why couldn't they just call them ceramic brakes...:)

Anyway, I forgot to comment on the car at all. It's amazing how much more appealing a car looks with a little "S" badge stuck on it. Oh and the yellow calipers offcourse, tho that's really more for trackdays I guess.

btw, there is also the PCCC :?: :twisted:

Nise sighting!, how much is the hp difference between the Turbo and Turbo S?
