2005 Porsche 911

2005 Porsche 911 (996) Turbo S 6-Speed Cabriolet: Signaling the end of production for the 996 Turbo was the assembly of the single model year only Turbo S which would go on to be equipped with sized increased twin-turbochargers coupled to the 911 GT1-derived engine (providing an additional 30-hp over the standard Turbo), a revised ECU, enhanced intercoolers, a strengthened 6-speed manual transmission (to better handle the additional torque as generated by the larger turbos), and the unsprung weight-reducing and heightened handling inducing Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes, all provided for an immensely emotive performance experience and with a worldwide count of 963 convertible examples having left the factory, the Turbo S makes for an exceedingly scarce and incredibly profound variant of the modern-era 911 Turbo. What thrusts the 996 Turbo S' exclusivity even more so are units equipped with a manual as it stands as the last 911 Turbo S to not only have had two transmission choices but also to have a manual linked to the iconic Mezger engine -- characteristics that are void in Turbo S 911s proceeding the 996 Turbo S, as these later models only come in PDK with the DFI engine.

Shown in the the gasp-inducing colorway of Lapis Blue Metallic ( Lapis Blue is an opulent and very rarely seen 996 Turbo adorning shade as it appeared on around 223 N.A.-market designated 996 turbo models and even fewer on the Turbo S version) over Natural Brown Leather, exhibiting an odo reading of 21,XXX miles, displaying a Clean CARFAX Report, this spectacular specimen left the factory with a $148,985 MSRP and was specified with: Htd Front Seats; Park Assist; Delete Cab Hardtop; Special Instructions; Thicker Str Wheel; Pwr Sport Seat Left Side; Storage Cmpt Lid W/Turbo Logo; Midnight Blue Met.; Black Mats - Porsche lettering; Sport Seats w/Full Lthr Int; Natural Lthr Brown; Metropol Blue Top; Natural Lthr Code - PAG; Sport Shifter; Lthr Sun Visors Lighted Mirror; Rear Center Console - Lthr; Str Column Covered Intr Lthr; Headrest Crest; Custom Tailoring; Deviating Carpet Color.

The 996 Turbo was developed during a time when the driving experience wasn't overshadowed by a suite of electronic enhancements and features minimal driving aids; it encases the coveted Mezger engine, developed by the late Hans Mezger, that derived from the legendary 911 GT1 race-car and offers rampant (this experience is welcomingly heightened in the Turbo S), race-track performance that's optimized for everyday usability; the 996 Turbo offers a more analog driving experience and is more compact, as opposed to its Turbo successors; it's modern with gran-touring-like comfort, but yet has a traditional mechanical feel that's not readily available in cars today, its ''just-rightness'' is off the charts!
