2005 Porsche 911 (996) Turbo S 6-Speed Cabriolet: Signaling the end of production for the 996 Turbo was the assembly of the single model year only Turbo S which would go on to be equipped with sized increased twin-turbochargers coupled to the 911 GT1-derived engine (providing an additional 30-hp over the standard Turbo), a revised ECU, enhanced intercoolers, a strengthened 6-speed manual transmission (to better handle the additional torque as generated by the larger turbos), and the unsprung weight-reducing and heightened handling inducing Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes, all provided for an immensely emotive performance experience and with a worldwide count of 963 convertible examples having left the factory, the Turbo S makes for an exceedingly scarce and incredibly profound variant of the modern-era 911 Turbo. What thrusts the 996 Turbo S‘ exclusivity even more so are units equipped with a manual as it stands as the last 911 Turbo S to not only have had two transmission choices but also to have a manual linked to the iconic Mezger engine — characteristics that are void in Turbo S 911s proceeding the 996 Turbo S, as these later models only come in PDK with the DFI engine.
