991.1 Turbo S

-

Porsche’s 911 Turbo S is the ultimate can-do super grand tourer, offering ludicrous levels of performanc­e in tandem with lavish comfort and class. A special-edition model typically launched at the end of the life cycle of its respective generation, for the 991.1 Zuffenhaus­en changed its tact, offering the Turbo S at the same time as its lesser Turbo sibling.

For a £22,000 premium over the Turbo, the S boasted an additional 40hp and a 40Nm torque boost, plus centre-lock wheels, Sport Chrono

Pack, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes and Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control, which is active anti-roll bars to you and I. In short, the S featured a host of options that a wealthy Turbo buyer would likely spec on top anyway, so a step up to the S often made sound economic sense for customers. As a result, there are a lot of 991.1 Turbo Ss on the market, which has sent prices tumbling.

“You have to remember that these cars started at £140,000 when new, so they’ve already taken a whopping hit in terms of current values,” says RPM Technik’s Greig Daly. Today you can expect to pay around £110,000 for a Coupe example with around 10,000 miles on the clock which, for a nearly-new 911 with 560hp on tap, represents superb value for money.

“It’s a car you can just jump in, use every day and enjoy its huge power, while feeling safe in the knowledge it’s pretty easy to drive,” Greg continues. With the worst of that dreaded depreciati­on behind it, the 991.1 Turbo S is a great value modern supercar, with many still benefittin­g from Porsche Warranty at your nearest main dealer.
