First off, I want to apologize for my lack of knowledge about older Porsche models, I'm not a Porsche freak so my knowledge regarding them is not very vast.

A buddy of mine has a speed yellow 993 Turbo S which is slightly modded. My question is how rare these things are, specifically the Turbo S? I assume that because the 996 Turbo S is a fairly rare car, this must be even rarer and more unique. Anyone have any exact numbers for it in terms of production???

IMO, the 993 is the last "jaw dropping" body style of the 911....

It looks identical to this-

 

The 996 TurboS is not rare at all, as a matter of fact, Porsche marketing has just whored the "S" labeling in the post-aircooled era. The 993 Turbo S total U.S. production is approximately 180 units.

 

That is a hot car and a rare beast. With good miles that car is worth a pretty penny.

 

One person says it's rare, another says it's not

IMO, 180 units in the US is a very rare automobile....

For all you 993 Turbo owners, you guys have the best looking body style on a 911 to come from the factory. I do like 996 TT's, but that plastic front lip has got to go

 

Who said it's not rare? If you're referring to me, please RE-READ what I wrote, as you clearly did not comprehend it properly.

 

You are correct, I misread 996S for 993S, my apologies...no need to get too bent out of shape

 

I was aware that the 993 Turbo S was rare but i didn't think that only 180 units were produced for the US. Either way the 993 is an amazing car and never fails to satisfy its driver

 

The problem with the S is the car doesn't warrent the price, IMO. A regular turbo is nearly identical.

 

182 units. Very rare. The last of the aircooled Turbos. I will have one one of these days.

 

993TT S is an awesome car, extremely rare as mentioned! I would love to drive one , there were 2-3 at the last Concours de Elegance here in NY!

 

Of course it rare . I have only seen a few in the NY metro area. Its a great car.

 

 

There were several differnces between the 993tt and the "S", although I don't agree with the original sticker price difference, the "S" had better stock performance, more bhp, as well as interior and exterior styling differences.

I know there has been a lot of debate from 993tt owners that you can get more bhp for less money, it is always better for resale to have a limited production car with factory enhancements.

Bottom line...I have had a 993tt but have always lusted after the 993tt "S".
