About the 1997 Porsche 911 Turbo S

The 993 Turbo S represented the pinnacle of air-cooled 911 development, squeezing 450 horsepower from its twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter flat-six through careful tuning and enhanced cooling. With only 345 units produced across 1997-1998, this Porsche Exclusive creation featured unique yellow brake calipers, special wheels, and distinctive interior appointments that set it apart from standard Turbos. The additional 30 horsepower over the regular Turbo came courtesy of revised engine management and improved intercooling, while the all-wheel-drive system provided exceptional traction for the era. As the final air-cooled Turbo S, it marked the end of nearly two decades of evolutionary development that began with the original 930. Values have appreciated dramatically as collectors recognize its significance as both the ultimate air-cooled 911 and a bridge to the water-cooled future, with pristine examples now commanding $400,000-plus.
