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.

Situated on the distinctive 996 GT3 wheels with a body finished in Black over a supple Black Full Leather upholstered cabin with a black finished soft top (a hardtop is included and is also completed in the same color), this spectacular specimen exhibits an odometer reading of a low 25,XXX miles, displays a Clean CARFAX Report, and was specified with the following (original MSRP of $145,395): Heated Front Seats; 18-inch GT3 Wheel; Supple Leather Front and Rear; Black; Black Full Leather; Black Mats - Porsche lettering; Black Top; Stainless Steel Exhaust Pipes; Sport Shifter; Brake/Shifter Carbon/Aluminum.

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!
