Vehicle Description
1997 Porsche 993 Turbo S Coupe For Sale in Fullerton, California
92831
This stunning example is one of only 182 Turbo S models produced
for the United States. Introduced in 1997 and only produced for a
two year run, the Turbo S was a huge upgrade in both performance
and styling, not to mention price. The designated type "993" were
the last of the air cooled Porsches produced. The Turbo S model was
also one of the last hand-built air cooled examples by the Porsche
Exclusive Department.
The Turbo S's performance is still impressive today. The 0-100 time
of just 8.9 seconds and zero to 62 mph is crazy fast! It also has a
top speed near 200 mph. Not bad for a flat six.
The flat six-cylinder horizontally opposed engine is paired with a
set of K-24 turbochargers that make 430 hp U.S. spec. Power is put
to the ground through a six speed manual transaxle all-wheel-drive
system. Porsche altered the Bosch Motronic engine-management system
to produce more power than the standard turbo. Porsche also added
an additional oil cooler to handle the increased heat load.
12.68-inch power-assisted ventilated and cross-drilled multi-piston
disc brakes with, in this case, matching speed yellow calipers that
deliver impressive stopping power from any speed.
This incredibly rare car is identifiable by it's numerous unique
features throughout. The front fog lights were removed and replaced
with air ducts to aid front brake cooling. The exhaust system was
replaced with a modified unit that has quadruple rear tips. The
flared rear fenders have large air inlets and the rear deck
features the "Aerokit II" biplane spoiler to increase down
force.
Unlike some other special edition models, Porsche did not sacrifice
creature comforts and usability for track performance with the
Turbo S. Inside is luxurious full leather interior, including head
liner and seat backs, down to leather wrapped window controls. It
also has a heavy dose of carbon fiber trim on the lower dash, the
door panels and center console.
The Turbo S is thought to be by many, the best vehicle that Porsche
ever built. When you add the timeless styling, performance, and
rarity of this fine example it is easy to see why this car will be
highly sought after for years to come.
This stunning example is in pristine condition. It has never been
damaged and features original paint. People who are not familiar
with Porsche can not believe it is a twenty year old car. Those who
are, say it is one of, if not the cleanest examples they have ever
seen. Everything except the tires, battery, oil and gas are
original! Also, the gas springs on the front bonnet and rear deck
were recently replaced and the car serviced.
This is a second owner vehicle that has been under current
ownership since 2000 and was acquired with just 3,000 miles. The
current owner is very passionate about his vehicles and takes pride
in keeping them properly serviced and maintained. This may not be a
museum piece, but it shows and runs as new and does not have bad
seals, bad rubber, bad gas etc.
This is a true to factory specification, all original, low-mile,
Southern California Turbo S and is ready for many more years of
enjoyment. The Ultimate air-cooled Turbo 911 model. Call today for
more information on how this unparalleled Turbo S can be
