A 'C16' UK-supplied right-hand drive car - one of only 26 and only 34,428 miles from newA 'C16' UK-supplied right-hand drive car - one of only 26 and only 34,428 miles from newTop of the 993-generation hierarchy, the Turbo 'S' was introduced as the first-ever model of its kind in 1997Headlined by a 0-60 mph time of 3.6 seconds, the Turbo S could hit 100 mph from a standstill in 8.9 secondsSupplied with two sets of keys, service book, manuals and reams of invoices Sitting near the top of the 993-generation hierarchy, Porsche's 911 Turbo S was introduced as the first-ever model of its kind in 1997. The basic facts can look a bit dry; Type 993, 450 bhp, 3605cc air-cooled flat six-cylinder engine with twin turbochargers and electronic fuel injection, six-speed manual transaxle, front and rear independent suspension with coil springs, and four-wheel ventilated steel disc brakes, however, the Turbo S was a big step up over the standard 911 Turbo in terms of performance and price. Headlined by a 0-60 mph time of 3.6 seconds, the Turbo S could hit 100 mph from a standstill in 8.9 seconds, only half a second faster than the standard Turbo. But that didn't matter, the Turbo S was special and getting your name on the waiting list to buy one was nigh on impossible unless you were very closely related to a Dealer Principal. All 345 examples of the 993 Turbo S were built by Porsche's Exclusive department and the specification included a number of unique features when compared to other 911s of the period. The car sported yellow brake callipers, a unique rear spoiler, polished five-spoke Turbo S wheels, an Aerokit front spoiler, an air intake in the rear wings, and four exhaust pipes at the rear. Inside, the 911 Turbo S luxuriated in carbon fibre trim contrasting with the softest of leathers and provided the type of luxury that customers had come to know and love from Porsche's top-shelf models.This, 'C16' UK-Supplied, right-hand drive, Turbo S is one of only 26 and has covered a remarkable 34,428 miles from new. Supplied with two sets of keys, service book, manuals and reams of invoices this special car will reward any inspection.This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years. In preparation for the sale, the engine will be flushed, filled with fresh oil and a new filter fitted, the fuel tank drained, flushed and filled with 20 litres of fuel, fitted with a new battery and issued with a fresh MOT Certificate. A safety check will also be carried out along with an inspection report included in the history file.As one of the last air-cooled 911s, the Turbo S is one of the most powerful models to have worn the 911 moniker and as a result makes it hugely desirable and collectable.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.
