35k-Mile 2005 Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet 6-Speed

Description

The 2005 Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet represented the ultimate expression of top-down performance within the 996-generation 911 lineup. Offered only for the final model year and built in limited numbers, it elevated the already potent 911 Turbo with increased power, exclusive equipment, and notable rarity. Its heart was Porsche’s 3.6‑liter twin‑turbo flat‑six paired with the X50 Power Package, raising output to 450 horsepower and 457 lb‑ft of torque.

Turbo S models came standard with Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB), 18‑inch GT2‑style wheels, a full leather interior, and distinctive Turbo S badging. Like all 996 Turbos, the model employed an advanced all‑wheel‑drive system and offered either a six‑speed manual or five‑speed Tiptronic S transmission. It was also the last Turbo to feature the revered Mezger‑based engine, derived from Porsche’s motorsport program.

With 1,563 Turbo S cars produced worldwide—and a mere 484 Cabriolets with the six-speed manual transaxle for the U.S. market—the 2005 Turbo S Cabriolet remains particularly prized. This 996 Turbo S Cabriolet adds modern convenience through a Sony double‑DIN head unit with wireless Apple CarPlay, a backup camera, and a mods4cars SmartTOP module, while retaining its original factory audio components.

This 2005 Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet six-speed is now represented by a Broad Arrow Specialist with a stock hardtop and stand, framed original window sticker, factory manuals, service receipts, a clean CARFAX vehicle history report, and a clean Florida title in the current owner's name.

Additional Information

The seller reports, “I purchased the car in June of 2023 and have kept it in a climate-controlled garage since. Shortly after taking delivery, the paint was professionally corrected and ceramic coated by CeramicPro Duval. The finish presents in immaculate condition, and paint meter readings show no signs of prior paintwork anywhere on the car.”

“During my ownership, I have continued a proactive maintenance approach including spark plugs and ignition coils replaced at 33,290 miles, Porsche alignment and rear driver side window motor replacement, routine oil services, cabin filter replacement, convertible top service, Rennkit blend door repair, headlight switch replacement with new HID bulbs, interior LED upgrades, and new side markers. Receipts are included for all work performed.”

“The car runs exactly as it should. The Mezger engine pulls strong, boost delivery is smooth, and the 6 speed shifts cleanly. The convertible top operates properly, the rear wing deploys as designed, and the air conditioning blows cold. There are no warning lights and no deferred maintenance items.”
