A single year production spelling the end of the 996 Turbo’s era was the absolute star in the 996 Turbos line-up! Featuring 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 1,563 examples having left Stuttgart with around 300 having been designated as Cabriolets and an even fewer amount being manual, makes the Turbo S Cab a very rare find but even more so in manual guise!
Its rather obvious that the 996 Turbo S makes for a very rare car, even more so for 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.
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!
