Porsche 964 Turbo S - 1992
Registers
Registry info 964 Turbo S
The Porsche 964 Turbo S Lightweight comes from a time when Porsche was struggling economically. Rolf Sprenger, initiator of Porsche’s Sonderwunsch program and head of Porsche Exclusive at the time, had an idea. Sprenger wanted to build an RS version of the Porsche 964 Turbo 3.3. The result was 86 vehicles that broke with the classic virtues of the Porsche 911 Turbo.
Horst Marchart, who was later also responsible for the Boxster, took over Bez’ post as Board Member for Research and Development. He was to create new models to make Porsche profitable again. Rolf Sprenger’s proposal, submitted at the end of ’91 or beginning of ’92, probably came in handy for Marchart. As early as spring 1992, Porsche presented a prototype of the 964 Turbo S Lightweight at the Geneva Motor Show.
On the outside, there were major differences between the Porsche 964 Turbo S Leichtbau and its siblings. Instead of fog lights at the front, it had air intakes for brake cooling. Porsche also integrated air intakes in the flared rear fenders. This styling element later became the distinguishing feature of all water-cooled Porsche 911 Turbo models. Combined with a flatter rear spoiler and the rear panel of the Porsche 964 Carrera RS, it inevitably attracted attention. It also made a statement when it came to the rims. The three-piece 18-inch Speedline wheels are a real feast for the eyes.
