Default Turbo S lighter than CS??

GT Purely Porsche states that the Turbo S was 20kg lighter than the CS. Could this be so? I thought with the turbo, intercooler, 18" wheels, Big Red and rotors, splitter and wing, it would be more rather than less.

It's hard to imagine a TS would be lighter than CS. However, the June 1993 issue of Christophorus lists the curb weight of the TS as only 1,300 KG...
