One of a reported 300 Turbo S cabriolets allocated to the US market in 2005, this example is finished in GT Silver Metallic and features a black convertible soft top, bi-xenon headlights, fog lights, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and dual exhaust outlets. The convertible mechanism’s hydraulic cylinders were rebuilt in 2017, and the decklid supports were replaced in 2022. Close-up photos showing chips in the hood and front-bumper finishes, a scratch on the rear bumper cover, and blemishes on the convertible top are provided in the gallery below.
GT3 18″ wheels with colored-crest center caps are finished in silver and wear 225/40 front and 295/30 rear Michelin Pilot Sport tires. The car is equipped with Porsche Stability Management (PSM), Anti Slip Regulation (ASR), and Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) with yellow-finished calipers. The rear tires were replaced in March 2022, a bent wheel was repaired in April 2022, and the left-rear wheel is chipped at the rim edge. The brake fluid was reportedly flushed in preparation for the sale.
The heated and power-adjustable front seats and the folding rear seats are upholstered in black leather that extends to the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Appointments include automatic climate control, Porsche Communication Management (PCM), Bose audio, and a sport shifter. The PCM display is dim in the center and is depicted in the gallery.
The optional leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a central 8k-rpm tachometer, a 200-mph speedometer, and gauges for voltage, coolant temperature, fuel level, and oil pressure. The digital odometer indicates 40k miles, approximately 500 of which were added under current ownership.
The twin-turbocharged 3.6L Mezger flat-six in Turbo S models was factory equipped with the X50 Turbo Power Kit, which included revised engine management software and larger turbochargers and intercoolers. Factory-rated output was 444 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque. Service in 2022 included replacing the clutch slave cylinder and accumulator along with changing the oil.
Power is sent to all four wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle. Additional underside photos are provided in the gallery.
