The 996 generation of the Porsche 911, produced from 1997 to 2006, marked a significant departure for the marque, being the first 911 to feature a water-cooled engine. While initially met with some purist skepticism, the 996 proved to be a formidable performer, especially in its Turbo and GT variants. The 996 Turbo, introduced in 2000, utilized a detuned version of the Mezger engine from the Le Mans-winning 911 GT1, cementing its place as a true supercar slayer. The ultimate expression of this generation's forced induction prowess arrived in 2005 with the Turbo S, a limited-production model that elevated performance to new heights. The 996 Turbo S came standard with the X50 Powerkit, boosting output to 444 horsepower, along with Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) and a host of luxurious interior upgrades. This particular 2005 Porsche 911 Turbo S is a pristine example, showing just 15,671 miles on its 3.6L twin-turbocharged flat-six engine. Paired with a six-speed manual transmission, it offers the engaging driving experience enthusiasts crave, delivering power directly to the pavement with precision and ferocity. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a meticulously maintained example of one of the most potent and collectible modern Porsches.
