Why it matters
The 964 Turbo S Leichtbau was a stripped, more powerful 3.3-litre 911 Turbo built in just 86 examples together with Porsche Motorsport. Porsche says it set the performance benchmark for 911 Turbos of its time, being 180 kg lighter than the production car.

02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Factory package productionunits built | 861 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Built in 1992/93, the Turbo S used a 3.3-litre engine uprated to 381 hp and shed weight through aluminium doors, composite lids, thinner glass and the deletion of comfort equipment such as air conditioning, power steering, rear seats, radio and sound insulation. RM Sotheby's links the model to the Brumos team's IMSA Supercar Championship, which is referenced on the sill appliqué. Production totalled 86 cars.

06Reference
Identification guide
How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.
Look for aluminium doors, a carbon-fibre-reinforced composite front lid and engine cover with large spoiler, thinner glass, sculpted sills with a 'Supercar Champion IMSA' appliqué, an extra oil cooler behind the slotted front valance, a carpeted box in place of the rear seats, fabric door-release straps and the M30/69SL engine type. Paint was commonly Speed Yellow, and model script was deleted.
