Basic information and history

Model year 2005 marks the end of the 996 generation of the 911, and the Turbo S is the flagship version that was produced in a very limited run. This is one of only 600 coupés built, and as the majority were fitted with the Tiptronic transmission, this manual example is very rare and sought after. The model is based on the 3.6‑litre twin‑turbo Mezger flat‑six with uprated cooling and motorsport‑derived components, combined with all‑wheel drive for effective power delivery. The Turbo S was launched with increased output compared with the Turbo and is sought after by drivers who prioritise robust engineering and usable performance.

This example was sold new in the USA and imported from England to Sweden, and is well documented. The odometer reads 107 409 kilometres and is stated by the seller to be guaranteed. The car passed inspection without remarks on 2026-06-16 at 107 409 km. According to the seller, there is a Carfax entry for minor damage dated 2009-09-30. An authorised body repair and paint specialist has inspected the bodywork and paint and assessed it to be in normal condition. The front bumper and rear spoiler have been repainted, and otherwise the paint is described as in good, normal condition relative to age and mileage.

The gearbox is manual and the clutch was replaced on 2024-01-10 at 103 010 kilometres. The Bose audio system otherwise works according to the seller, but the CD changer and navigation are inoperative. The CD player works. The year and date display cannot be set in the radio display. The car passed inspection without remarks on 2026-06-16 at 107 409 kilometres.
