1997 Porsche 993 Turbo S Navigation
Porsche Exclusive produced 345 examples of the 911 Turbo S over a two-year period, with 183 of those going to the United States market. These water-coled 996-generation of ultra-high-performance coupes were powered by a 3.6-liter flat-six engine with the X50 power package, delivering 430 horsepower at 6,250 RPM and 423 lb-ft of torque at 4,500 RPM. These light-alloy engines used a pair of larger K24 turbochargers, which boosted mid-range and top-speed performance, and included a large intercooler nestled under the engine cover. To help with the increased underhood heat, an additional oil cooler was installed, and an upgraded Bosch Motronic engine management system kept fuel and spark under precise control.

The Turbo S came with a six-speed manual transaxle with limited-slip, an all-wheel drive system, and the Aerokit II bi-plane rear wing, enlarged from that of the earlier 964 Turbo S. There were new front air intake ducting that replaced the integrated fog lamps, special air inlets (similar to the 959) on the rear quarters, a new exhaust system with quadruple tips, and Litronic headlamps. The 'Turbo-Twist' five-spoke light-alloy wheels measured 8x18 at the front and 10x18 at the rear, and were finished in a special 'metal gloss effect' paint from Cetelon, available exclusively on the Turbo S model.

Large 12.6-inch power-assisted, ventilated, and cross-drilled multi-piston disc brakes with yellow calipers were placed behind each wheel and provided the stopping power. Zero-to-sixty mph took around four seconds and the top speed was reached at 185 mph.

This particular example was completed at the Stuttgart Works on April 9, 1997, and delivered new to an individual in California. It wore a Metallic Black exterior and came with power steering, power brakes, power seats, power sunroof, power windows, power exterior mirrors, and cruise control. It had a security system and a climate control system with air conditioning.

The full leather interior included fully adjustable and heated front bucket seats with the Porsche crest embossed on the headrests. There is thick carpeting, tinted glass, an onboard computer, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, silver-faced instrumentation, a polished metal gearshift knob, a multi-speaker entertainment system with a remote CR-210 CD player, and a rear window wiper.

This Porsche has been owned by its current caretaker since 2018. Currently, there are 20,322 miles on the odometer.
