The 1997 Porsche 993 Turbo S is a breathtaking farewell to Porsche’s iconic air-cooled legacy. Limited to just 182 examples built for North America, each car was masterfully crafted by Porsche’s Exclusive Department, combining bespoke detail with engineering brilliance. Widely regarded as the pinnacle of air-cooled production cars, the 993 Turbo S represents the ultimate evolution of Porsche’s air-cooled technology. Powering the car is a 3.6-liter flat-six engine, equipped with twin KKK K24 turbochargers, delivering an impressive 424 hp and exhilarating performance. Drawing inspiration from the revolutionary 959 supercar, the 993 Turbo S blends timeless design with dynamic handling and innovation.

Presented in a rare combination of Arctic Silver Metallic over a special-order Boxster Red leather interior, this 1997 Porsche 993 Turbo S stands as an extraordinarily preserved example. While each Turbo S received upgraded interiors with additional leather trim and carbon fiber interior components, this car features deviated stitching throughout the cabin and racing-style sport seats finished with Porsche crests on the headrests. According to the Porsche Production Specifications certificate, special-order equipment for this Turbo S includes a rare optional storage shelf in place of the rear seats, self-dimming mirrors and rain sensor, front floor mats with “Porsche” script, and a pair of racing sport seats.

Sold new through the legendary Porsche dealer Brumos Motor Cars in Jacksonville, Florida, this Turbo S enjoyed nearly two decades of single-owner stewardship in Florida, remaining with its first owner until 2015. That year, it joined a private collection in Denver before transferring to another distinguished Colorado-based collection in 2019. Since 2022, it has been part of an exceptional Porsche motor sports collection, benefiting from meticulous care and remaining in outstanding low-mileage condition.

The history file for this car includes invoices of work performed during recent ownership, completed by V&S Auto and Euroquipe. Service work completed by both shops was largely preventative, ranging from items such as suspension and engine, to turbos and wastegate servicing. Showing just over 14,400 miles on the odometer at time of cataloguing, this Turbo S is accompanied by its original documents and accessories, including the factory window sticker, Brumos purchase documents, Porsche Production Specifications certificate, service records, owner’s manuals, and tools.

A truly limited-production model, the 993 Turbo S stands as a legend among 911 variants, embodying Porsche’s tradition of excellence in every detail. The 1997 Porsche 993 Turbo S is not just a car, it is a piece of Porsche history – a fitting tribute to the end of an era and a thrilling masterpiece ready to be cherished by its next caretaker.
