911 Turbo S

2004–2005Coupé · Cabriolet

The final and most potent 996 Turbo: 450 PS and 620 Nm from the twin-turbo 3.6, with ceramic composite brakes and six-piston front calipers as standard equipment plus Turbo S badging and a revised rear deck. Offered only for the 2004 and 2005 model years, it weighed 1,590 kg in manual form and, on Excellence's figures, matched the regular Turbo's 4.2-second 0–100 km/h while lifting top speed to 306 km/h. Coupé and cabriolet were both built; other sources quote a quicker 3.9-second sprint, so the conflict is recorded in missing.
