# 993 Turbo S

Air cooling, fully equipped

The 993 Turbo S closed Porsche's air-cooled Turbo line with 450 PS, all-wheel drive and a six-speed manual. Unlike the stripped 964 Turbo S, it carried full leather and carbon trim. Porsche's production counts disagree.

1997 to 1998 · 336 built · Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen

## The price and the proof

Indicative road-car band $527K–$703K · typical $654K · 26 documented road sales · 26 recorded sales on file · market as of 2026-09-01. Modeled values are not observed sales. Nothing here is investment advice.

Confidence: medium. Several public US-market results cluster in the mid-$600'000s for preserved, low-mileage cars. European 450 PS cars and unusual Porsche Exclusive specifications trade less often in public.

Estimate for original, documented cars. Delivery market, colour, mileage and retained Turbo S-specific carbon and body parts drive the spread.

Published auction totals are used as stated. European and North American power ratings are not treated as identical specifications.

## The last air-cooled Turbo, built by Exclusive.

Porsche Exclusive produced the 993 Turbo S across 1997 and 1998. The car combined the Turbo's all-wheel-drive chassis with the WLS II engine package, additional brake cooling and model-specific spoilers.

Porsche's current Turbo S history gives 336 cars. An earlier Porsche Exclusive article gives 345, while North American auction sources alternately cite 182 or 183 regional cars. These are factory-source discrepancies, not figures to average.

| Highlight | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| WLS II as standard | The factory power kit raised the European car to 450 PS. It was not an aftermarket tune: engine management, charge-air and thermal requirements were integrated by Porsche. |
| The side intake starts here | Large openings ahead of the rear wheels distinguished the Turbo S from a standard 993 Turbo. The form became a recurring Turbo identifier in later 911 generations. |
| Not another Leichtbau | Porsche kept the cabin complete. Leather and carbon cover the switches, sills and console; the Turbo S marks the point where the badge moved from stripped special to equipped flagship. |
