Default 968 Turbo S 4 Sale

This place sold a Purple Turbo S and the Black Turbo RS in the last year. They are now selling yet another Turbo S.

Thanks for sharing. Interestingly, this turbo S has the modified RS style intercooler opening.
I am considering getting one for my car too.
Love the color. Wonder if its the real deal. Has a bunch of non factory mods.

i dont doubt its real. Same place sold Bubbles not too long ago as well as another genuine Turbo S (purple car) which also had a few modifications. I'll post picture of both when i get around to it.

Outside of that, they also sell many other genuine rare german cars. At the time they were selling bubbles, they also had a couple really nice older BMW's; 2002 Turbo & E30 M3 Sport Evo.

The Purple Turbo S they sold had two-tone factory leather reacros. Really good looking Turbo S imo.

If you look in the backround of the first picture, you'll also notice a 964 RS which had the factory 300HP engine (not avail in the u.s.)

To correct myself, the last Turbo S they sold was Blue (not Purple).

Anyway, here is a picture of the car in the same showroom (notice Bubbles-The Black Turbo RS in the backround of the first picture).


and here is apicture of that cars interior.

And lastly, Here is a picture of Bubbles in the same showroom.



In the backround of all these pictures you can see some interesting cars, so i don't doubt the orange car currently for sale is a genuine Turbo S.

WOW! Only!


1er von nur 14* = 1 of only 14
I think they are claiming it's one of the Factory's Turbo S but I was under the impression there were 16?

I want a factory turbo S SOOOOOOO bad, but there are some things about this car that annoy me. The seat backs are not color coded, the intercooler vent lacks the correct ducting, the coolant tank is a eyesore, and I believe NLA...... Not like I could afford it anyway. This is one of those situations where if I had the means to buy it, and didnt..... when would one come up for sale again? DOH! Oh, and hate the color....

They come up for sale from time to time. The place selling this car sold 2 factory Turbo cars and is selling a 3rd all in the last year.

Most every source lists that Porsche built 18-20 Factory Turbo cars. 14-16 Turbo S & 4 Turbo RS. The prices of these cars sky rocketed. Not too long ago the yellow Turbo RS sold for 75K & i recall seeing a Turbo S go for about 60K around that same time. Now people are paying way more for the same cars.
