The entry
The Porsche 911 Turbo S.
The Turbo S has sat at the top of the standard 911 range for decades, combining a twin-turbocharged flat-six, all-wheel drive and active aerodynamics with a cabin built for daily use.
Recent generations pair very high performance with the usability that has always defined the badge.
We review your Porsche 911 Turbo S on the engineering behind it, its own history and its condition, not against a generic pricing model.
What we look for
What we weigh in a Porsche 911 Turbo S.
Every Porsche 911 Turbo S is reviewed on the same four things as any other entry in the Index. Gaps are normal; tell us what you have. Neither a modification nor outstanding finance rules a car out on its own.
- 01
Documented history: service records and provenance for a Porsche 911 Turbo S, however complete.
- 02
Originality and modifications: what has changed, and why.
- 03
Condition, honestly described, including anything outstanding.
- 04
Paperwork and finance still to sort.
The specialist's notes
What we check on a Porsche 911 Turbo S.
The Turbo S has been the flagship of the standard 911 range through the 991 and 992 generations, and most of the review is about which car it is and what has been checked since.
- Generation
- The 991.1 of 2013 was the first Turbo with rear-axle steering and active aerodynamics. The 991.2 raised the 3.8-litre engine's output and added Dynamic Boost; it is told by its LED light strips, revised tail lights and vertical engine-cover slats. The 992 of 2020 brought a new 3.7-litre engine with two variable-geometry turbochargers, an eight-speed PDK and staggered 20 and 21-inch centre-lock wheels.
- Specification
- PCCB carbon-ceramic brakes are standard on the 992 Turbo S and were an option on the Turbo, so the brakes alone do not tell the two apart; the build record does. Options we check for: the Lightweight Design package, the Sports package, the sports exhaust, PASM Sport suspension and front axle lift.
- Service
- On the 992 we ask whether servicing is up to date and about any history of a sticking rear spoiler, a chassis-system fault message or a PADM engine-mount fault. Turbocharger failures were reported on some 991.2 cars. Open recalls show against the VIN with Porsche, so we check, and we confirm whether any warranty still applies.
- History
- Porsche's Production Specification by VIN confirms the options. Higher mileage is normal on a Turbo S and is read alongside the service record, not on its own.
- Condition
- The lithium-ion battery on 992.1 cars suffers if the car sits for weeks off a trickle charger, so we ask how it has been stored. Then the usual: nose stone chips and film, wheel kerbing on the centre-locks, tyre age, and the active rear spoiler cycling cleanly.

Footnotes
º1Do you buy the Porsche 911 Turbo S?
Yes. The Porsche 911 Turbo S is on the index of cars we buy directly, filed under Porsche GT & Track as entry Nº 074 / 168. Send the registration or the car's details and a specialist reviews it personally.
º2Do you need to see my Porsche 911 Turbo S before making an offer?
Not for the offer itself. A specialist reviews what you tell us about your Porsche 911 Turbo S first. Inspection follows once you accept a direct purchase offer, before anything is finalised.
º3How does selling my Porsche 911 Turbo S to MotorSignet work?
Send the registration or the details of your Porsche 911 Turbo S. A specialist reviews it personally and, if it fits what we buy, makes a direct purchase offer. If you accept, inspection and collection are arranged. Paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves. We aim to complete within 7 days where checks and paperwork are ready.
º4Does higher mileage count against a Turbo S?
Not automatically. Turbo S examples are often used as intended; we weigh service history, specification and condition together rather than judging the odometer alone.
º5How do you tell a Porsche 911 Turbo S from a Turbo when reviewing it?
From the build record. Porsche's Production Specification by VIN names the model and lists every option, and it settles the question where the car itself might not: ceramic brakes were an option on the Turbo, so they do not prove a Turbo S. Both are cars we buy.
This page describes a type of car we buy and source directly, not a specific example currently held or for sale.
