The other day I had dinner with my 1996 Turbo-owning neighbor and discussed his purchasing process, which began with an attraction to the wide hips of the C4S and led him to the ever-increasing draw of the final air-cooled Turbo. Many see it as the ultimate iteration of the unstoppable, quintessential sports car, and pristine examples are commanding serious money. The only difference between my neighbor’s and this one are the wheels and interior, and the brushed turbo twists and deep magenta interior are quite attractive under the black exterior. With fewer than 30k miles, this is the holy grail for many P-car enthusiasts.

1996 Turbo 29,800 miles, service records, all books / manuals, all keys, window sticker, CLEAN carfax available, sport seats, carbon fiber. Lots of extras.
The seller is clearly just flipping this desirable 911, but with lesser 993 Turbos going for upwards of $90k, this very clean, low-mileage, and final-year model is not out of the question at $98,500.

If I recall correctly, I think the turbos were still available in 1997 and even a few still in 98 before the changeover to the 996 midyear-ish.
I was told ’96 was the last year of the Turbo and thought ’97 and ’98 were Turbo S, but you could well be right! Sorry if it turns out I erred in the article!
