Regarded by many as the last of the "classic" 911s, this Turbo S had an original production run of 345 vehicles, with only 23 produced in right-hand drive. The 993 Turbo S occupies a unique place in Porsche's history—it was the first 911 with permanent all-wheel drive, yet the last to feature an air-cooled engine, marking a significant transition in the marque's lineage. Upgraded from the standard Turbo, the Turbo S boasts a body kit, rear wing, and enhanced brakes with six-piston calipers. The suspension was stiffened and lowered by 15 mm, and with larger turbochargers and a new exhaust system, the power output was increased to an impressive 450 horsepower.

This particular Turbo S is finished in its original Speed Yellow, just as it left the Porsche factory, and has covered only 66,000 miles. The paintwork is immaculate—free from scratches, major marks, or dents—and the bodywork shows no signs of stone chips, cracks, or any kind of damage. Many interior elements perfectly complement the striking Speed Yellow exterior. The black leather seats feature matching Speed Yellow seat backs and seat belts, and even the instruments on the dashboard are accented in Speed Yellow. All the leather and fittings are in exceptional condition, with no tears or holes, reflecting the careful and considerate use by its owners. Additional features include Litronic headlights, heated seats, electric exterior mirrors, a Porsche CD radio, an upgraded sound system, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a sunroof, yellow brake calipers, an Aerokit with front splitter and rear spoiler, a carbon-reinforced strut brace, 18-inch chrome Turbo S alloy wheels, and a full service history with a recently completed major service at Porsche.

Our 1998 993 Turbo S has recently undergone an extensive "four corners" overhaul. As a result, the car is presented in like-new condition. Every millimeter of the vehicle has been meticulously reworked and brought up to concours standards. All consumables have been replaced, and four specially ordered Turbo S shock absorbers were sourced from Germany, along with new brake discs and pads (front and rear), shims, and sensors. Most components of the suspension have also been renewed, including uprights, bushings, and all other relevant wear-prone parts. The suspension was then readjusted and aligned to perfectly harmonize all the new components, providing this Turbo S with the best possible driving experience. We believe nothing else underneath or among the consumables requires replacement—in virtually every respect, this vehicle is like new. There's simply no better Turbo S on the market, and we're not alone in recognizing the extraordinary condition of this car. As one of just 23 right-hand drive examples, this Turbo S—with its rich history and stunning condition—is a true collector's item for any enthusiast of air-cooled and turbocharged 911s.

A Rare and Iconic Model
