£70,000

An outstanding opportunity to acquire a truly special C16 UK example of the Porsche 911 (996) Turbo S which is believed to be 1 of 60 UK cars, presented in superb condition and specified with the highly sought-after 6-speed manual gearbox. Powered by the legendary 3. 6-litre twin-turbocharged Mezger engine producing 450 bhp, the car delivers relentless acceleration alongside the durability and engineering integrity for which Porsche is renowned. It was originally supplied by Porsche Centre Hatfield on 5th January 2005.

This range-topping Turbo S represents the pinnacle of the 996 generation, combining everyday usability with exceptional performance.
As a genuine Turbo S model, it benefits from an impressive factory specification including Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB), uprated intercoolers and performance enhancements, along with a full extended leather interior that reflects the car’s flagship status. The four-wheel drive system provides outstanding traction and confidence in all conditions, making it a highly capable yet refined performance car.

This Turbo S has clearly been cherished throughout its life, with excellent bodywork, a beautifully maintained interior, and a fantastic service history. 

There are a great list of factory options too:

Hardback sports seats
Heated seats
Electric sunroof
Aluminium gear knob and handbrake cover
Porsche Crests on headrest
Rear parking sensors
Cruise Control
Aluminium look air vents
Aluminium look dials
CD autochanger

On the road it feels tight and responsive, pulling strongly through all gears and offering the engaging analogue driving experience that has become increasingly rare in modern performance cars. It is supported by a comprehensive service history, demonstrating consistent and careful maintenance, and is supplied with all accompanying documentation, original service and handbooks, and keys. 

It has recently been detailed by Concours Detailing, and it really presents beautifully; it can literally be rolled into your garage to continue its coveted existence. It is shod with Michelin Pilot Sport tyres dated 2023, unmarked alloys and a rich, deep, glassy finish to the bodywork.

Increasingly recognised as one of the most usable and robust modern classics, the 996 Turbo S—particularly in manual form—has seen growing appreciation among enthusiasts and collectors alike. With its Mezger engine heritage, limited production numbers, and position as the final and most complete evolution of the 996 Turbo, it represents not only an exceptional driving car but also a compelling long-term investment opportunity. 

Well-kept examples such as this are becoming harder to source, and values have shown strong resilience with potential for continued growth as the market further recognises their significance.
