1st picture: On Mecum site: Where's the Turbo S exhaust (twin) tips (which come standard on the Turbo S)?
2nd thru 5th pictures are various Turbo S(s) on the web...

This car has been for sale time and again. it is not a real Turbo S. Just real quick some of the signs: wrong seats, wrong exhaust, wrong trunk carpet, no leather wrapped dash vents or window switches. Just to name a few. If you search the forums you will see.

Default makes sense 111K

If the car is a nice 993TT with a bunch of neat parts to come pretty close to a S, and was called an S tribute car, and the buyer new this, then makes th$ seem legit... still bad news to advertise it as a real S of course. Just saying 111K makes more sense now assuming buyer knew...

Looks like the window switches are leather and the std seats were standard equipment on the TTSs, however the dash vents don't appear to be leather and there is a bad gap between the center vent and the dash. LA Dismantlers took apart and sold a few TTS interiors from crashed cars. The parts exist(ed). No TTS wheels...

Looks like a fake to me. As doublecabmel said, Lots of discussion on the forums when the car showed up for sale earlier.

+1, after reading the thread my first thought was, 'well, goes to prove auctions are pretty efficient markets, once again.'

Figure someone paid a ~$30K premium for some high end mods and cosmetics, plus another $10K for a unique color?
oh, plus the buyers premium, likely 5%...
