Yeah, there was an S2 coupe SE edition produced in very limited numbers in Europe, or maybe the UK only. I can't quit remember. Horsepower was up like 15 or 20 i think. M030 package and a fun decal. Maybe those are what it refered to. Porsche had no interest in making the S2 any better or any more expensive. Didn't the 968 actually debut cheaper than the final 944 S2 cars???

Here are some pics of the 924 Carrera GTR (937) and this and the 944 GTP look strikingly similar, so the Hugo BOSS car is essentially a culmination of the two variants. 924 GTResque body with the 944 type engine.
