The Type 993 Porsche 911 Turbo S provided a dramatic and fitting final chapter for the air-cooled era, being the last of its type built by Porsche. A true limited-production model, only 342 examples were manufactured across all markets, each carefully and uniquely prepared by the Exclusive Department with bespoke features and numerous engine and chassis upgrades throughout. Powered by a 3.6-liter SOHC flat-six engine fitted with alloy cylinder heads and case, the “S” also received larger twin KKK K24 turbochargers for instant throttle response and a new Bosch Motronic engine-management system modified to handle the additional horsepower (now increased to 450 horsepower at 6,250 rpm for the international market). A higher-performing engine also led to greater heat production, which was diffused by adding a secondary oil cooler.

This Porsche 911 Turbo S shows just 32,320 miles on the odometer at the time of cataloguing. As the flagship of the Porsche range, it should come as no surprise that the example on offer features an extensive list of optional extras as seen on the code sticker still attached to the hood. The exterior is wonderfully finished in Zenith Blue Metallic while the interior is finished in Night Blue and Classic Grey supple leather down to the dash controls and vents, with the remaining elements finished in either aluminum or carbon fiber. In addition, a sound package (code 490) and comfort seats were selected as equipment. The full complement is a sight to behold, especially compared to a standard, lesser-optioned 911 from the same period.

Originally delivered to Florida, the Porsche was relocated to Ohio and sold to its second owner in 2003. This individual remained the caretaker of the Turbo S until 2006, when it was sold to a resident of New Jersey. Just a year later, the Porsche returned to Ohio and was eventually acquired by its current owner in 2017. Today, the Turbo S resides within a private collection, and a Porsche Classic Technical Certificate dated May 2026 asserts the vehicle presents in excellent condition across all subsections. Further, the document confirms the engine and transmission match the original serial number records.

The 993-generation Turbo S represents the ultimate development of the air-cooled 911. With all-wheel drive and a powerful twin-turbo engine, only the mighty 959 supercar can claim superiority. However, all of this performance comes packaged within a familiar form. Behind the wheel, one will experience the most powerful, most refined, and most luxurious iteration of the classic Porsche 911.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at rmsothebys.com/auctions/mo26/.
