Bet you probably didn't know about this one, did you? This is one of my favorite Porsches, up there with the 959. This beauty turned my head from the very minute I saw it. If the 968 is quick, then this Turbo 968 is blisteringly fast.

Visually this car is almost identical to the normal 968 except you immediately notice the two NACA ducts in the hood. A dead giveaway for a turbocharged engine. Next you see the front chin spoiler, and the huge, polished, 3-piece turbo wheels from the 911 Turbo S. As you move to the rear of the car, a large, adjustable spoiler attracts your attention. The rear script does not say "968", but "turbo S" instead.

As you clunk open the driver's door, you don't see the usual Porsche seats, with every way in the world electric adjustments. In this car, you carefully ease into the car color racing seats. Everything else, though, seems plain old 968. Until you notice a boost guage under the tach. Seeing that boost guage is reminiscent of the 944 Turbo, which has the same dash as this car, except the speedometer has a 190 mph mark looming in front of you.

corners so flat it looks like it's standing still

Get out of there as soon as you can, or the speed demon that lurks in all turbo Porsches will overcome you. As you open the hood, again the 944 Turbo is brought to mind. The engines look identical, even though they aren't. You can see the intercooler, right there in front of you with "turbo S" slashed across it.

doesn't it look like a 944? Only 100 more lb-ft torque!

The 968 Turbo S is based on the lightweight 968 CS and is the baby brother of the racing-only 968 Turbo RS. The bypass valve has its own catalytic converter, limiting the boost to 1 bar. The result is 305 horsepower, (the 968 has 236), and a truly massive 369lb-ft torque (968 has 225).

To give you an idea of how much power that is, just keep in mind that the 5.4 liter 1995 928 GTS has the same 369 lb-ft torque.

The chassis has been lowered 0.8", and fitted with stiffer springs and shocks, a stronger clutch and 4-piston, aluminum caliper brakes with vented and crossed drilled discs from the 911 Turbo S. PVC undercoating, electric windows and seats, plus electric door locks were all stripped out, resulting in a weight of 2,867 lbs. As you can see, this thing is for real. Unfortunately, the day might not ever come when you see this car easing up beside you at a red light. Even though it is completely street legal, Porsche only produced 15 of them. They weren't about to offer a cheaper model that could outperform the 928 and 911!
