It appears to be one of the several black 94 turbo S package cars but it is missing its speedlines. These were cloned quite often so it is hard to say if it is real or a fake without a vin number.

The Instagram comments stating that it is a 3.3 lightweight would be incorrect.

This is not a Turbo S Leichtbau. It looks more like a "Package":

But I doubt it's a real one. Why change the nice rims and remove the rear wiper on such a rare car?

Rarity would be an understatement when discussing a 964 3.3 Turbo S Leichtbau and subsequently this is a vehicle that we are delighted to have secured for the JZM showroom.
The actual build numbers for this model have been misquoted over time with official Porsche records concluding 80 Leichtbau’s were built initially. In fact there were an additional 6 vehicles. The 81st car was added on as part of the recorded end of production run on November 20, 1992. The 82nd - 86th cars lack definitive production information in the Porsche official records for their final production and delivery dates. This vehicle is chassis number 65 and one of only a handful of RHD cars ever produced.
The 1992 Turbo S Leichtbau took many weight loss cues from the base (non-touring) 1992 Carrera RS which was itself an extension of the Carrera Cup model. These cues include lack of under body protection and sound proofing, aluminum doors, lightweight luggage compartment lid, lack of rear seats, no A/C, and manual (no power) assisted steering. In fact the factory technical bulletin specifically refers to comparisons between the Leichtbau and the base (non-touring) version of the Carrera RS. Of course the 'lightening' process for the Leichtbau extended the base Carrera RS program to include 'thin glass', no airbag and stripped down trim and electronics.
According to the Porsche official site a weight saving of 180 kilograms was achieved through the use of lightweight plastic for the luggage compartment lid and the doors , thin glass for the rear and side windows and the elimination of equipment details such as power windows, air conditioning, central locking and even power assisted steering.
All in all a very special and significant Air cooled 911 and highly collectable to say the least.

One of the least known, least understood Porsches of all time. Not only a ridiculously fun car to drive, but historically important for both Exclusive and Motorsport.

This one was in Japan, before, wasn't it?
Some interesting things, if I'm not mistaken:
Complete Matter roll cage
Schroth harnesses
Electric windows
Rear luggage dump
Do you know its VIN?
I suspect this is WP0ZZZ96ZPS479040.
