Default Sighting: 968 Turbo RS in a Toronto?

I was driving south on the DVP this AM - and noticed a car driving northbound with little NACA ducts in the hood. I had mere seconds to capture and process all the tell tale signs.. I noticed the unique headlamp treatment - kinda like a 993, but not quite. My brain was running a SQL query against all the known cars in my cerebral database... "what could this be??". The last thing I glimpse is the high-mounted, adjutable wing and that's the last peice of the puzzle. Instantly my query returns a single hit - but my brain's not believing it...

A 968 Turbo RS???

Here in TO? It's gotta a be a replica - there are only FOUR known road examples. (None of which I think is silver?)

But aren't there 15 road examples?

So - what's the scoop? Anyone know who's car this is? It looked great and sure made my morning!

In the early 90's , Ludwig Heimrath and I imported 2 968 Turbo's in to Canada. One black, the other silver.

2 out of 15 in Canada? Great!! They must be in private collections, we never get to see them at shows or track events..
