There was a 1992 turbo S2, and indeed there were only 20 imported into the us as a homologation special for the IMSA series. It looks like both the front and rear quarter panels have been modified to make the car look like a Turbo 3.6S. If it is a turbo S2 then even in it's modified state it should be worth more than a standard C2 turbo. However modifications to a rare car would reduce the value, and the only way towards recouping that value would be to restore the panels to original specification, which would be an expensive undertaking.

Most 964 turbos can easily exceed the HP output of the S2 with bolt on mods and there are no other changes to the car other than what Andial did to the engine.

Wow thanks for all the input. I spoke with the dealer today and he did indicate it is a conversion. He also said that it is a original Turbo S model, 1 of 20 units made. He also stated that it would cost around $12,000 to $13,000 to convert it back to the original nose. He seemed to be very straight forward. Would the title or vin number indicate if it is a true Turbo S Car?
Thanks

12-13k would not be enough. You'd need to cut off the rear fenders at the factory spot welds, which would be big $s. And then you'd have non original paint. So, you spend $79k to buy the car, lets say $20k to convert it back to original, and you'd end up with a car worth $45k. Again, this is a Turbo S2, not a Turbo S...there is a huge difference.

If you are looking for a collector this is not the car. If it were one of the 20 S2's Which I highly doubt it is no longer even worth mentioning as 1 of 20. This car has been stripped of its provenance when they modified it so extensively.
If you like the looks of the 94 turbo S flachbau then it is not bad for a heck of a lot less then the $120 or so min that it would take to buy a real one. I would not pay over $60k for it no matter what your interests and that is only after careful scrutiny and it being 100% perfect.

the fact they call the techart bodykit on that 996T w/ x50, "RARE" means they are playing with words to draw in uneducated buys and suckering them into paying wayyyy to much.

The ROW 92 turbo S did have a smaller wing without the rubber. It looked like the flachbau with a smaller wing and stock front fenders. The US S2 had the stock tail, there was absolutely nothing changed to the cosmetics of the car. The picture of the white car I posted is a 1992 US turbo S2.

Does anyone watching this thread actually have a turbo S or access to a turbo s?
I would love detailed pictures of the rear fenders with a measuring tape to show where those duct inlets sit in the fender. Also I would like to know how they ran those ducts into the engine compartment.

There was a set of fiberglass fenders with the ducts on ebay the other day I believe it was under porsche 965

I have some pictures of the last Turbo S cars produced from the factory. If I can figure how to post and if picture size is not too large. Jim

Are those Speedlines beautiful?
I was going to have a set of flat nose fenders made, but have pulled the plug. They are available should someone want to pursue them please write to me for a price. Jim
It is going to take a real man to step up to this plate.
