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.

cost about 12'000$ and you recognize them having yellow brake calipers instead of the red ones :idea:

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

Pads or calipers?

ops: , calipers of course, changed the sentence

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

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

Thanks for the pics stmoritzer, they are really grea

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

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 · 07-21-2006, 03:37 AM

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

stmoritzer · 07-21-2006, 04:05 AM

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

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
