About this car
The 2005 Porsche 911 Turbo S is a 996-generation coupé built for the US market in Slate Grey Metallic over black full leather. It carries the X50 power kit on its 3.6-litre twin-turbo Mezger flat-six and shows 222 miles from new.
Power reaches 450 hp and 457 lb-ft through a six-speed manual gearbox and all-wheel drive. Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes sit behind yellow calipers, while 18-inch Turbo II wheels in GT Silver carry the car on its original tires. The interior includes memory comfort seats with heating and driver lumbar support, plus the Porsche crest embossed on the head restraints.
Aluminium-look dials, a carbon-and-aluminium gear knob and handbrake, an electric sunroof, PCM navigation, BOSE audio and a six-disc changer complete the factory specification. The engine is numbered M96/70 64530570 and the gearbox G96/50 4004552. Rear-lid emission labels and the Mobil 1 first-fill label remain intact.

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.
