Porsche 996 Turbo S

The 996 Turbo S is a sought-after rarity, no question about it, but what makes the Turbo S so special?

In contrast to the standard 911 Turbo, not only was the power increased to 450 hp, but the K24 turbochargers from the GT2 were also installed. Furthermore, the gearbox has been reinforced and the basic equipment significantly improved. This means that the Turbo S scores over a 911 Turbo with the X50 package, which has the same performance, not only in terms of equipment, but also in terms of limitation.

Collectors want low numbers and let's be honest, what sounds better? If you have a 911 Turbo with X50 and have to tell everyone that it is the same as a Turbo S or does it sound better if you say you have one of only 602 Turbo S built? A question you can answer for yourself - please don't take it too seriously.

In addition to the aforementioned extra 30 hp, the larger K24 turbochargers and the reinforced gearbox, the Turbo S is also characterized by other features:

- Rims painted in GT silver metallic instead of the usual Porsche rim silver

- Wheel hub caps with colored Porsche emblem

- Brake callipers painted yellow

- Aluminum-colored dials

- Shortened gearshift travel

- Turbo S lettering on the rear, door sills, rev counter and center console, whereby the latter can be omitted with the large leather extension option.

As you can see, the 996 Turbo S is a very special vehicle, which from our point of view has not yet reached its full collector's potential.

But enough philosophizing now, let's move on to the 996 Turbo S advertised.

And of course this is an original factory Turbo S. But it is a vehicle that was not exclusive enough for the first owner at the time, from the AMAG Schinznach-Bad management, so it was subtly refined to give the Turbo S the icing on the cake of exclusivity.

And what better way to do this than with the then current Mono/10 rims forged by Sportec in collaboration with BBS. Which today stand out as THE only aftermarket rims that enhance the vehicle compared to the original rims and do not devalue it from a collector's point of view like the other aftermarket rims. In addition, these rims have become part of the cultural heritage of Swiss Porsche and Audi history and it is hard to imagine an exclusive 996 or RS4 B5 without them.

To round off the look with the rims, a Bilstein coilover suspension was installed at that time, et voilà a completely different appearance of the Turbo S and yet even the smallest detail was taken into account, such as painting the Sportec rims in the original Turbo S rim color GT silver metallic, which also harmonizes perfectly with the exterior color Seal grey metallic. Furthermore, it was also ensured that these two modifications were homologated on the vehicle in 2007 to ensure that if you want to register the Turbo S as a veteran at 30 years of age in the future, these modifications must be accepted by the Road Traffic Office, as they were demonstrably homologated in the first 10 years of the 1st registration.

Attention has been paid to every detail and let's be honest, the pictures speak for themselves. This Turbo S is not only aimed at collectors who are looking for that certain something extra, but also at individualists who appreciate this beautiful appearance.

We are therefore delighted to be able to offer you this unique 996 Turbo S all the more.

We have summarized the most important information for you shortly:

- From MFK October 2024

- For sale fresh from service

- Completely new Michelin Pilot Sport tires with N3 Porsche approval

- Complete service records available, either carried out by Porsche or specialists

- The vehicle has always been perfectly maintained without sparing any expense or effort

- As a preventive measure, both K24 turbochargers were replaced in October 2022 at 86'882km

- New steel brakes fitted by Porsche in August 2020 at 85,090 km, as many ceramic brakes are already crumbling and the steel brakes work much better for road traffic anyway.

- New water coolers and air conditioning condensers were also installed, which are known as the Achilles heel of the 996 series

- CH vehicle from 2nd hand with 1st delivery Porsche AMAG Schinznach-Bad

- The vehicle has the aforementioned large leather extension, which is why there is no Turbo S lettering on the center console, as it is completely in leather. It feels like everything that could have been covered in leather is covered in leather, including the speaker covers, center console, ignition lock rosette and even the louvers of the air vents. Not easy to recognize in the pictures, but as soon as you sit in the car you no longer have the feeling, as with the standard 911 Turbo, that Porsche had to save on the interior of these models.

- The stripes are merely foil on the vehicle and can be removed again without leaving any residue at the customer's request

- Very well-maintained condition from previous owner

- Drives and therefore shifts absolutely flawlessly and delivers impressive performance even by today's standards

- In addition to the unique look, attention was also paid to the sound, so a Cargraphic exhaust system including special cats is installed, of course with CH certificate and the original system is included

- Bank financing possible, ask us without obligation

- Viewing only possible by appointment

- Due to many fun drivers, the test drive costs a deposit of CHF 200 and will be deducted from the purchase price (we ask for your understanding)

- Delivery fee: CHF 390.- (full tank, vignette and insurance administration)
