About this car
The 2005 Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet pairs a commanding black exterior with a black interior, delivering the performance and open-air versatility that define the model. Powered by a 3.6L H6 engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and all-wheel drive, this example shows 25,362 miles and retains the aggressive aerodynamic presence of the Turbo S.
Bi-Xenon HID headlights with headlight cleaning, a power convertible roof with convertible hardtop, and an 18-inch Turbo II wheel package highlight the exterior equipment. The cabin features full leather seat trim, heated power seats with memory function, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, navigation system, AM/FM stereo with in-dash 6-disc CD changer, and Bose high-end sound system with 12 speakers.
Four-wheel independent suspension with front and rear anti-roll bars, speed-sensing steering, electronic stability control, traction control, and four-wheel disc brakes with ABS provide the chassis dynamics.

About the Porsche 911 Turbo S 997

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.
