About this car
The 2002 Porsche 911 Turbo Tiptronic S coupe delivers the signature performance and engineering of the 996 generation in Guards Red. This all-wheel-drive example is powered by a 3.6L H6 engine paired with an automatic transmission and rides on the Turbo chassis with its distinctive wide-body stance and advanced all-wheel-drive system.
Inside, the cabin is trimmed in Savanna Beige, providing a classic contrast to the vibrant exterior. With 29,747 miles recorded, the car maintains the low-mileage condition that makes these early Turbo models increasingly sought after by enthusiasts.
Equipped from the factory as the Turbo Tiptronic S variant, this 911 combines supercar acceleration with the everyday usability of its automatic gearbox and all-weather capability.

Factory color
Guards Red
Guards Red is one of Porsche's most recognizable colors: a rich, solid red with a minimal hint of orange and a special luminosity that makes a bold statement on any 911. Originally known as India Red, it has been offered as a standard 911 color since the 1970s. Earlier cars, including mid-1980s 911s, carried it under code 027, and it later appeared under codes 80K and 84A on models including the 964, 993 and 996 into the early 2000s.

The Porsche 911 Turbo S (996 generation) is a high-performance variant of the 911 lineup, produced from 2000 to 2005 as part of the first water-cooled 911 series. Introduced in 2005 as a limited-run model to mark the end of the 996 Turbo production, the Turbo S was offered in both coupe and cabriolet body styles. Approximately 1,500 units were produced worldwide, making it a relatively rare model among 911 variants, which appeals to exotic car collectors seeking exclusivity.
Equipped with a 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engine, the Turbo S delivers 450 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque, an increase over the standard Turbo’s 415 hp. It features all-wheel drive and was available with either a 6-speed manual or a 5-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. Performance highlights include a 0-60 mph time of around 4.0 seconds and a top speed of approximately 190 mph. Unique features include upgraded turbochargers, a revised exhaust system, and standard ceramic brakes (PCCB). Its rarity and end-of-era significance contribute to steady value appreciation in the collector market, with well-maintained examples often commanding premium prices at auctions.
