5 Coolest Cars in Porsche's Private Collection
Porsche has made so many awesome and rare models over the years that it can be hard to narrow them down and pick favorites. These are the five cars the legendary automaker has chosen as standouts to display in their private collection.
1. 1992 Porsche 964 Turbo S "Leichtbau"
The 964 Turbo S "Leichtbau" or "Light Build" was a limited production variant of the 964 Turbo S that began as a design study. Public reaction to the car prompted Porsche to build 86 of this very special lightweight car. The regular Turbo's 3.3 liter air cooled flat six was modified to produce 381 horsepower, a substantial boost over the Turbo's 320. Weight saving measures (nearly 400lbs) include the use of carbon fiber and the removal of anything not required to go fast - no power windows or air conditioning here. Together, those improvements made the 964 Turbo Lightweight one of the fastest cars of it's time.

2. 1981 Porsche 924 Carrera GTS
Back in the early 80's, Porsche needed to homologate a race car to meet Group 4 racing regulations. So they built the special 924 Carrera GT, a tweaked 924 Turbo with more aggressive bodywork. The GTS employed greater boost to produce even more power than the GT, and featured fixed headlights in place of the 924's typical popups. About 50 924 Carrera GTS's were produced, making it one of the rarer special edition Porsches ever made.
