About this car
This 2005 Porsche 911 Turbo S is a rare 996-generation coupe finished in Black over Black full leather. Powered by a 3.6L twin-turbocharged H6 engine equipped with the factory X50 Power Kit for 444 horsepower, it pairs with a 6-speed manual transmission and all-wheel drive. The car shows 29,982 miles and rides on 18-inch GT3 wheels finished in a color-matched treatment with Michelin Pilot Sport tires.
Built for only one year, the Turbo S came standard with Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes and was produced in very limited numbers, with just 186 manual examples delivered to the US market. This example carries a full body paint protection film topped with ceramic coating, wide fenders, rear air intakes, and a speed-activated rear spoiler. Additional factory details include heated front seats, a thicker steering wheel, and aluminum-look air vent slats on both the side and center vents.
Inside, the cabin features desirable Sport Seats upholstered in full leather with Porsche crests embroidered in the headrests, a 3-spoke leather steering wheel, and carbon/aluminum inlays on the shifter and brake handle. The vehicle was originally optioned with Custom Tailoring and left the factory with an MSRP exceeding $137,000.

The Porsche 911 Turbo S 997, part of the 997 generation of the iconic 911 lineup, was produced between 2010 and 2012 as a high-performance variant of the 997.2 (second phase of the 997 series). While exact production numbers are not publicly disclosed by Porsche, estimates suggest several thousand units were built globally across coupe and cabriolet variants, making it relatively rare compared to standard 911 models but not as exclusive as limited-run specials. It is powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engine, delivering 530 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 7-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission or a 6-speed manual in some markets.
For exotic car collectors, the 997 Turbo S holds appeal due to its position as one of the last Turbo S models before the 991 generation introduced significant design and technology updates. Performance highlights include a 0-60 mph time of around 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 196 mph. Its historical significance lies in refining the Turbo S formula with advanced features like Porsche Torque Vectoring and ceramic brakes as standard. Values have remained strong, with well-maintained examples often appreciating, especially low-mileage or manual transmission variants.
