Porsche 911 Turbo S Spec

The 996-generation 911 Turbo Cabriolet occupies a particular niche in the modern classic market: a water-cooled, wide-bodied Turbo in open-top form — an option relatively few buyers chose over the coupé when new, which makes them meaningfully scarcer on the used market. This 2004 car is fitted with the six-speed manual gearbox, a combination that commands a growing premium as Tiptronic examples make up the majority of available stock.

The listing designates this a Turbo S spec car, which warrants some scrutiny before purchase. The standard 996 Turbo produced 420 bhp, while the factory Turbo S raised that figure to 450 bhp — the power quoted here aligns with the former. Whether the Turbo S spec designation refers to factory-fitted upgrade components, cosmetic specification, or a subsequent tune is worth confirming directly. The car has covered 51,685 miles and is priced at £44,995.

For buyers wanting the twin-turbocharged 3.6-litre flat-six and AWD drivetrain in open-top form, this represents a genuinely accessible entry point into the Turbo Cabriolet market. At this mileage and age, thorough inspection of the turbos, intercoolers, and coolant system is standard due diligence, but the 996 Turbo platform is well-understood and parts support remains strong.
