About the Porsche 911 996.2 Turbo S

The Porsche 911 Turbo S 996.2 represents the definitive final chapter for the first water-cooled generation of the 911, serving as a limited-run flagship produced exclusively for the 2005 model year. By making the previously optional X50 performance enhancement package standard, Porsche equipped the Turbo S with larger K24 turbochargers and uprated intercoolers, allowing the 3.6-litre flat-six engine to deliver a formidable 331 kW and 620 Nm of torque. This power is channelled through either a six-speed manual or a five-speed Tiptronic S transmission to a sophisticated permanent all-wheel-drive system, bolstered by the inclusion of Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) as a standard feature. Globally, the model saw a production run of approximately 1,563 units, comprised of 598 coupes and 965 cabriolets, making it a considerably rarer sight than the standard Turbo. In the Australian market, the 996.2 Turbo S is viewed as a blue-chip modern classic with high desirability among Porsche enthusiasts, particularly those seeking the peak of 996-era engineering and collectability. The buyer pool is primarily composed of seasoned collectors and brand purists who value the model's scarcity and its status as the first Turbo S since the 993 generation, which supports its robust market value and steady demand within the domestic specialist automotive scene.
