Teamspeed.com Member Car of the Month November 2011

One of my favorite Porsche’s of the past 20 years was the swan song for the air-cooled 911, The 993 Turbo S. During the second to the last year of production of the 993 (1997), Porsche offered the 993 Turbo S. Ultimately 183 cars were sold. The Turbo S is a high-spec Turbo including a power upgrade to 424 hp (SAE) for the American market and to 450 hp (DIN) in other markets. The inclusion of extras including carbon fiber decoration in the interior makes it different from the earlier lightweight, spartan 964 Turbo S. The 993 Turbo S is recognized by yellow brake calipers, a slightly larger rear wing, a 4-pipe exhaust and air scoops behind the doors. This was the last of the air-cooled Turbos. 12 Turbo S cars were delivered to Australia

This guard red Turbo S hails from the southern hemisphere from a member who has been so generous with us in sharing his possessions and passion’s for exotic automobiles, the common bond that led the majority of members teamspeed in the first place. Yes, I am talking about our goof friend Mike S.

Mike it is my pleasure to call you Mr. November mate! So without further adieu here’s the pics of his outstanding 993 Turbo S, the perfect car to signify the end of the end of the air cooled era.
