Since the Turbo S cars were all pretty much loaded from the factory, few non-standard options.... Chances are all the US cars had sunroofs, unless it was special ordered

Yeah, it's weird, everyone seems to over sunroofs/moonroofs here. In fact, I'm almost always questioned when I spec my cars without; as if I'm some weirdo.

I ordered a Fiat Abarth a few years ago and they kept kicking the order back because I was spec'ing it as a sunroof delete. It's a white car and the sunroof make the whole roof black which is unsightly if you ask me!

Yeah, it's weird. Dealers in the US think us crazy Americans will never buy a car that's missing a sunroof, so they don't seem to want to take that chance (in case we either back out of the deal, or end up trading in the car later and they're stuck with a preowned car they think they can't ever sell).

Not to derail the thread more but I even have a sunroof on my 10' Sierra truck. I bought it slightly used so I obviously didn't spec it with a sunroof but in 3+ years of ownership, I have not once opened it and have nearly as rarely even opened the sunshade. Useless, pointless option.

I never understood headlight sprayers. Do people let their lux or performance cars get so dirty that a headlight lens is blocking enough light from the headlamps to impair driver visibility at night? These should be reserved for serious off-road vehicles - I would even say they are ridiculous on a Cayenne. They are unsightly and pumps and tanks are unnecessary weight. When I put a euro bumper on my car I "deleted" mine.

Yup. Intimate cabin. Almost (almost) like being in a cabriolet. Good stuff.

This is car is irreplaceable and obviously highly collectable, and is priced accordingly at $395,000.
There is not much to say about this car as it is in perfect condition, and the right buyer will understand what this car is.

If you think about how much dirt flies on your windscreen during the winter months in countries like Finland the headlight sprayers can be useful at times. I've actually used mine. The sun hardly rises in winter and you really need all the light you can get.
Once had a pretty thick ice layer on the high beam lens even though I had the low beam on for the whole trip. The sprayers didn't help much on that instance and had to go and physically remove the layer.

I just saw this is a different thread here on rennlist. It is close to what you are looking for, but not in the US, or even US spec. Still, it is the closest thing I have seen to what you want. I suspect your 400k might be off by 50-100% though. I don't even know if it is for sale, but based on prices I've heard recently, this should be a 600k car at least it has reasonably low miles and is as perfect as it looks.

edit: BTW, I don't know anything about what was delivered to Japan, or anything about this car aside from the video, so for all I know this is a replica. It certainly is different from the USD spec Turbo S.

Thanks. It is a real car, this is how the S came in Japan. This car sold about two months ago in the $275,000 region.
