Produced for the 2005 model year only, the Porsche 996 Turbo S was offered as the top-range 911 featuring Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) and the X50 Powerkit which provided an output of 444 HP from the car’s twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter Mezger flat-six engine. This example is one of 960 Cabriolet versions produced in total and is finished in Carrara White over a Metropol Blue full leather interior. It comes factory-equipped with an optional Tiptronic S automatic transmission, heated supple leather seats, Porsche crested headrests, a logo-embossed storage compartment lid, an aluminum-look instrument panel, painted front air intakes, and body-colored 18” wheels. The car has also been fitted with a Fabspeed air intake and an updated Porsche Classic (PCCM) Plus head unit. Showing approximately 40k miles on the odometer, this rare 996 Turbo S Cabriolet is now being offered for auction out of Florida.
This 996 is finished in Carrara White with a power-operated Metropol Blue convertible top. Equipment includes bi-xenon headlamps, optional painted front air intakes, side air intakes, a speed-activated rear spoiler, polished quad exhaust tips, yellow ceramic brake calipers, and painted body-color 18” 911 Turbo wheels with matching center caps. Clear side marker lenses have been installed, and the seller notes some paint chips around the exterior and a dent on the right front wheel. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin features Metropol Blue full leather upholstery with matching carpets. Accessories include a three-spoke leather steering wheel with Tiptronic shift buttons, optional heated supple leather front seats, driver seat memory, Porsche-crested headrests, aluminum instrument dials, an aluminum-look instrument surround, aluminum trim for the shifter and handbrake, an embossed Turbo logo on the storage compartment lid, automatic climate control, cruise control, a Bose sound system, and a Porsche Classic Communication Management (PCCM) Plus head unit. Some signs of wear are noted on the seats and interior touchpoints.
The Turbo S model comes standard with the X50 Powerkit which equips the twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter Mezger flat-six engine with larger K24 turbochargers, intercoolers, and revised ECU programming. This example features a 5-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission that delivers up to 444 HP and 457 lb.-ft of torque to all four wheels. Stopping power comes from cross-drilled Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) rotors paired with fixed 6-piston calipers in front and 4-piston calipers at the rear. The engine has been modified with a Fabspeed air intake system and an aftermarket reusable air filter. Service documentation shows an oil change and a multi-point inspection was completed at 39,973 miles.
This sale will include one key, a cabin wind deflector, and a clean title.

A 997 Tiptronic with 2k miles just sold for $84k and this guy thinks the market was wrong on his car. We will see. I'm surprised he didn't try and sneak his BS dealer fee again.
Bid in the amount of $60,000
That’s a classic color combo. Turbo S Powerkit, and tiptronic totally fits the car. If you actually read and learn how to drive a tiptronic porsche it’s very fun. Yes, you guessed it I own a 911 turbo tiptronic
@Woodrm64 thank you....but we had offers higher than that....there's nothing like this one right under 40k miles, mint condition, no accidents... in the country right now
Bid in the amount of $10,000
Why is there such a large gap between the headlights and the front bumper cover. I know you say there is a clean carfax but has there been a fender bender of some sort at the front of the car that has been repaired? Thanks. Great looking car and color combination.
A great and clean car. The $61,000 offered was fair, at least in my mind, given this has the Tiptronic and not the manual. To each their own. GLWTA!
>>car is worth a lot more
The free market spoke yesterday at your other auction for this car.
The video can not be accessed - it’s marked private.

@alvarouribe1988 The video is private, did you try to use the Cars & Bids video on this listing?
@Odocommando no, no hard top Please see pictures attached.
Thanks
@Odocommando Hope all is well....we own the vehicle
Wow, did you guys try to use the Cars & Bids video on this listing?
@carsarefun
Interesting. I wonder if the seller knows they are auctioning their car.
Was anything done to build value in the car since it no-sold on Cars&Bids yesterday? I find it odd that the car went live on this site the same day that it no-sold for $61,000.
Does it have hard top?
