This 2005 Porsche 911 Turbo S cabriolet has been registered in California and Texas from new. Finished in black over matching leather, the car is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.6L flat-six that drives all four wheels via a six-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes the Heated Front Seats Package, a speed-activated rear spoiler, a power-operated black soft top, 18″ Turbo Twist wheels, bi-xenon headlights, integrated fog lights, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB), a touchscreen infotainment system, a remote CD changer, and automatic climate control. This 996 Turbo cabriolet has 81k miles and is now offered in California by the selling dealer at no reserve with the owner’s manual and a clean Texas title.
The car is finished in black (L041) with a black convertible soft top. Additional features include xenon headlights, fog lights, a speed-activated rear spoiler, and stainless-steel exhaust outlets as well as wider rear bodywork, rear air intakes, and revised bumper covers in comparison to the contemporary Carrera. The Carfax report indicates that a July 2011 accident involving another vehicle resulted in damage to the rear.
The 18″ Turbo Twist wheels wear Michelin P Sport 4S tires, which were fitted in December 2023. The car is equipped with Porsche Stability Management (PSM) and an automatic brake differential. Standard equipment on the Turbo S included Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) featuring yellow-painted six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers.
The cabin features heated power-adjustable front seats upholstered in black leather, which is complemented with aluminum-look trim. Amenities include driver-seat memory settings, a touchscreen infotainment system, a remote CD changer, USB connectivity, and automatic climate control. The removed head unit is included in the sale.
The thicker leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 200-mph speedometer, a central tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The digital odometer on this 2005 Porsche 911 Turbo S indicates 81k miles.
The twin-turbocharged 3.6L Mezger flat-six included the Turbo Power Kit as standard, which included revised engine management software and larger turbochargers and intercoolers for a factory rating of 444 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque.
Power is sent to all four wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle. The coolant was changed and the battery and primary clutch cylinder were replaced in December 2023.
