968 Turbo RS

Why it matters

The 968 Turbo RS was the race-car version of the 968 Turbo, built for GT sport in 1993. It was produced in two versions, an endurance car and a car for the ADAC GT Cup, and only four were ever built. The road-legal 968 Turbo S was derived from it.

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

Porsche built the 968 Turbo RS in 1993 for GT racing, with an endurance version of 257 kW (350 PS) and a version for the ADAC GT Cup with 248 kW (337 PS). Only four cars were built in total. The 968 Turbo S was developed as a street-legal derivative; production of that car stopped after 14 units. Gooding describes the Turbo S as a homologation model developed by Porsche Motorsport.

Identification guide

How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.

The Turbo RS must be told apart from the road-legal Turbo S derived from it. The RS is the race car, built in an endurance specification of 257 kW (350 PS) and an ADAC GT Cup specification of 248 kW (337 PS). The Turbo S, by contrast, is a 3.0-litre road car with twin bonnet scoops, a larger front air intake, a chin spoiler and an adjustable rear wing; those details describe the Turbo S, not the RS.
