I doubt it. The nose is definitely not original. Also, the wheels are not correct either. Most probably a replica.

this video lends much to the theory of why they decided only to make a few of them.

can't outhustle AND outhandle the 911 cars with only 4 cylinders now can ya' ?

appears he runs out of straight and gear a bit too soon @ 155m/hr and about 18 seconds...

According to the youtube page, that car is a replica. Nice acceleration, but no clue how "stock" it is.

Replica or stock, you're still able to RUN MORE BOOST !! and when you do, it's OVER.


the 911 turbos were not detuned from the factory, as were the 928s and 968 cars.


this car would destroy every other porsche from it's day on a real world simulator like the GLEN with ease.

No boost gauge, a dead giveaway.

If anybody wants to build a 3.0 liter 8V turbo, I have my Factory Turbo S 3.0 L 8V motor for sale. Yes it came out of an original Turbo S. Some of you know.

Mine's a turbo RS replica...

And then we went and added ballast weight back in and turned the boost down so I could compete in GTS-2 in NASA!

God, the stupidity of it all!! But, I did take 1st place at Millville on 4/17 and 4/18...

Still...you spend $$$ to lose weight and gain power...only to put it back in and turn it down.

"If I only had a brain!"
