2018 Porsche 911 Turbo S

The 991.2 Turbo S is the final evolution of Porsche's analog-era flagship — the last Turbo S before the 992 grew larger. A 2018 Porsche 911 Turbo S in Carrara White Metallic over Black leather, seven-speed PDK, all-wheel drive, showing 43,003 miles from new.

The DB lists the specification precisely: 580 horsepower, 2.8-second 0-60, 205-mph top speed — Porsche-published factory figures for the 991.2 Turbo S. The 3.8-litre twin-turbo flat-six is the last iteration of the M97 Turbo architecture Porsche produced before the 992 platform took over, and this specification remains one of the most usable near-hypercar drivetrains ever built for the road.

What makes this example the specification collectors settle on is the option list. Twenty documented factory options, including the well-liked Burmester High-End Surround Sound, LED Headlights in Black, Electric Slide/Tilt Sunroof in Glass, Rear Side Air Intakes in High Gloss Black, Tinted Taillights, Side Skirts Painted, and Power Steering Plus. Carrara White Metallic reads correct on the Turbo S wide-body shape — clean, restrained, and correctly period.

The 991.2 was the facelift of Porsche's 991 generation for the 2017 model year, and the Turbo S is where the facelift landed the most: new turbochargers with larger compressor wheels, dynamic boost function, and a raised 7,200-rpm redline. Documented 43,003 miles across the model's post-2017 production run is the sweet spot buyers describe as "driven the way the car deserves without being tired."

A pre-purchase inspection on a 991.2 Turbo S focuses on cooling system condition (radiators, plumbing, thermostat), oil consumption on the twin-turbo M97 flat-six, front-end paintwork on a high-performance 991, brake wear on the ceramic-composite PCCB standard-fit hardware, and documented service history at a Porsche-experienced shop. A car with an option list this specific, documented service, and Carrara White paint condition preserved is a very different proposition from an average used 991.2 Turbo S.
