It appears to be one of the several black 94 turbo S package cars but it is missing its speedlines. These were cloned quite often so it is hard to say if it is real or a fake without a vin number.

The Instagram comments stating that it is a 3.3 lightweight would be incorrect.

This is not a Turbo S Leichtbau. It looks more like a "Package":

But I doubt it's a real one. Why change the nice rims and remove the rear wiper on such a rare car?

I find that confusing as well. I can understand changing the rims and storing them but the lack of rear wiper seems a bit extreme.

Sorry couldn't sleep last night but only chimed in 2 min earlier.

Rarity would be an understatement when discussing a 964 3.3 Turbo S Leichtbau and subsequently this is a vehicle that we are delighted to have secured for the JZM showroom.

The actual build numbers for this model have been misquoted over time with official Porsche records concluding 80 Leichtbau’s were built initially. In fact there were an additional 6 vehicles. The 81st car was added on as part of the recorded end of production run on November 20, 1992. The 82nd - 86th cars lack definitive production information in the Porsche official records for their final production and delivery dates. This vehicle is chassis number 65 and one of only a handful of RHD cars ever produced.

The 1992 Turbo S Leichtbau took many weight loss cues from the base (non-touring) 1992 Carrera RS which was itself an extension of the Carrera Cup model. These cues include lack of under body protection and sound proofing, aluminum doors, lightweight luggage compartment lid, lack of rear seats, no A/C, and manual (no power) assisted steering. In fact the factory technical bulletin specifically refers to comparisons between the Leichtbau and the base (non-touring) version of the Carrera RS. Of course the 'lightening' process for the Leichtbau extended the base Carrera RS program to include 'thin glass', no airbag and stripped down trim and electronics.

According to the Porsche official site a weight saving of 180 kilograms was achieved through the use of lightweight plastic for the luggage compartment lid and the doors , thin glass for the rear and side windows and the elimination of equipment details such as power windows, air conditioning, central locking and even power assisted steering.

All in all a very special and significant Air cooled 911 and highly collectable to say the least.

You can rest assured that for every Porsche that makes it into our showroom there are a number that have not made the grade. Each Porsche that we do offer for sale undergoes a thorough inspection by our team of experienced Porsche technicians to ensure that it matches the quality that our customers have come to expect.

We have serviced all models of Porsche for over 30 years, so we know what we're looking for when sourcing the very best used Porsche. Our unrivalled experience allows us to offer you genuine peace of mind when buying your used Porsche from JZM Porsche Sales.

Additionally we also offer a new approach to help you select your perfect Porsche. Besides our own stock of Porsche for sale we can also widen your choice by including a selection of our customer's cars (SOR).

SOR Porsche are extensively cars that we have regularly serviced and maintained for our 6,000 plus customer base, so we are fully aware of their history, and have utmost confidence when offering them for sale on a customer's behalf.

For further information please contact Russ on 01923 269788 or 07501 479068.

The car is supplied with an extensive pre delivery inspection; Warranty, Finance and Part Exchange are all available.

Spotted this week in Stuttgart / Germany by a friend of mine. The car is the Turbo S Leichtbau prototype owned by the Porsche Museum.

One of the least known, least understood Porsches of all time. Not only a ridiculously fun car to drive, but historically important for both Exclusive and Motorsport.

This one was in Japan, before, wasn't it?

Some interesting things, if I'm not mistaken:
Complete Matter roll cage
Schroth harnesses
Electric windows
Rear luggage dump

Do you know its VIN?
I suspect this is WP0ZZZ96ZPS479040.
