About this car
The 2005 Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet pairs a 3.6L H6 engine with a 6-speed manual transmission and all-wheel drive in a convertible body. Finished in Black with Leather interior, this example shows 29,614 miles and carries the Turbo S specification that includes VarioCam Plus, intelligent all-wheel drive and a sport-tuned chassis.
Power reaches the ground through P225/40ZR18 front and P295/30ZR18 rear tires mounted on the standard wheels, while the MacPherson strut front suspension and independent multi-link rear suspension incorporate aluminum components and stabilizer bars. The convertible top is power-operated and double-lined, with flared rocker panels, rear wheel fender air intakes and a speed-dependent extendable rear spoiler completing the exterior.
Inside, the cabin features 2+2 seating with folding rear seat backrests, a lockable storage compartment behind the brake lever and an adjustable steering column. Instrumentation includes an on-board computer, boost-pressure gauge and multi-function trip computer, while the Bose high-end sound system with 12 speakers integrates with the automatic climate control and carbon filter.

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.
