2005 Porsche 911 Turbo S

Overview

2005 Porsche 911 (996) Turbo S 6-Speed Cabriolet: Emerging from the 996-generation Turbo S’ single model year, this sensational specimen is finished in the Carrera GT-citing GT Silver Metallic over a timeless Grey Full Leather interior. 1 of approximately 484 manual-transmission Turbo S Cabriolets delivered to the U.S. market for the 2005 model year, this example is further distinguished by its GT Silver finished seat backs and central console tunnel and additional

leather surfaced interior regions.

Entering the Dark Grey Natural Full Leather-lined cabin presents heated front Sport Seats, “turbo” insignia embossing on the center console lid, leather extending onto the steering column, sun visors, and inner sill/release areas, with a retractable soft top completed in Black.

Displaying an odometer reading of just 16,XXX miles and showing a CLEAN CARFAX REPORT, this Turbo S features an original MSRP of $158,820 and a factory specification listing the following equipment and options: Dark Grey Natural Leather; GT Silver Metallic; Stainless Steel Exhaust Pipes; Sport Shifter; GT3 Wheels, Cast Light Alloy, Front 8J x 18 with 225/40 ZR 18 Tires, Rear 11J x 18 with 295/30 ZR 18 Tires; Sport Seats; Sport Seat Back in Exterior Color; Heated Seats; Rear Center Console in Exterior Color; Natural Leather Interior; Leather Interior Package (Large); Steering Column in Leather; Sunvisors in Leather; Inner Sill Parts/Release in Leather; Natural Special Leather Torro.

Signaling the end of production for the 996 Turbo was the assembly of the single model year only Turbo S which would go on to be equipped with sized increased twin-turbochargers coupled to the 911 GT1-derived engine (providing an additional 30-hp over the standard Turbo), a revised ECU, enhanced intercoolers, a strengthened 6-speed manual transmission (to better handle the additional torque as generated by the larger turbos), and the unsprung weight-reducing and heightened handling inducing Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes, all provided for an immensely emotive performance experience and with a worldwide production of just 963 convertibles, the Turbo S stands as a rare and highly distinguished variant of the modern-era 911 Turbo. What thrusts the 996 Turbo S' exclusivity even more so are units equipped with a manual as it stands as the last 911 Turbo S to not only have had two transmission choices but also to have a manual linked to the iconic Mezger engine, characteristics that are void in Turbo S 911s succeeding the 996 Turbo S, as these later models only come in PDK with the DFI engine.
