About this car
The 2005 Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet pairs a 3.6L H6 engine with a manual transmission and all-wheel drive, delivering the signature performance expected from the Turbo S trim. This convertible body style adds open-air versatility while maintaining the model's sporty proportions and handling dynamics.
Finished in Seal Gray Metallic, the exterior is complemented by a Metropol Blue interior. With only 9,060 miles recorded, the vehicle reflects careful prior use consistent with its low-mileage status.
Built to Porsche's exacting standards for the 911 lineup, this example emphasizes the Turbo S's engineering focus on balanced power delivery and driver engagement through its six-cylinder flat engine and manual gearbox.

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.
