Re: 993 TURBO S "THE REAL BEAUTY"
You guys are right. It's not a Turbo S like it was designed from the factory, I named it Turbo S, because it has the factory 450PS kit. Indeed it's better than the normal Turbo S and you should name it "Turbo RS". The car was produced specialy for the costumer by Porsche Exklusiv. I list you the factory options:
-Power Kit II (450 PS)
-Aerokit Turbo II
-Dash clocks with Alu coloured faces
-center of the rims coloured in red
-originaly it had the carrera skript in red on the side
-clubsport rollbar
-4 point harnesses
-optimized breaks with air vents in the front
-recaro racing seats in leather (like 993 GT)
-Aluminium Doors and bonnet
-door pannels from the 993 GT
-back and side windows macrolon (thinner glas)
-single mass fly wheel
-manuell mirrors
-reduced rust protection (weight)
-without sound profing material
-small batterie
-cross-beam in the front
-without headlamp cleaning devices
-without weight relevant devices (like 993 GT, backseats etc.)
-sport chassis (like 993 GT, adjustable etc.)
-spacers in the front and in the back
so you see it's not one of the originaly produced 345 pieces of a 993 Turbo S, it's a unique one and only produced 993 Turbo RS
-Power Kit II (450 PS)

Re: 993 TURBO S "THE REAL BEAUTY"
The car is beautiful, no doubt about it.
However, there are a couple of things which seem odd to me.
1. the Turbo "Aerokit II" and the front part, a few things don't seem to be original Porsche parts
2. the Turbo S had also a heavily modified chassis compared to this Turbo, so the Turbo S would clearly have an advantage over this car, unless this car uses the same chassis.
3. apparently the Turbo S engines were "selected" powerkit engines, meaning that they were pretty good in shape compared to the "ordinary" stage II powerkit (stage I had 430 HP in Europe).
If you bought this car used, you may have fallen for a few "hoaxes" from the former owner. Exclusive department did a lot of nice wonders in the past but this car looks a bit "aftermarket" to me. No offense meant though, I could be wrong.

The "chassis" fitted to the Turbo S was available as a retrofit -called "Sport"......its part number was 000 044 500 02 and it contained replacements for all standard parts including new arms with different bushings etc. The cost was 11500 Euro (equivalent) with a fitting time of "4050 time units"
I have the kit on my 993tt - the only critism is the mono ball top mounts are fairly harsh for a street car and the shocks/springs which were in the kit were also pretty unforgiving on the street -when they gave up, I switched to PSS9 and rubber top mounts which makes for a much nicer ride
Re: 993 TURBO S "THE REAL BEAUTY"
hello all,
thank you for the compliments.
I took the picture by myself with a normal sony R1, nothing special, I was fighting the mountain and suddenly realized that there is wonderful light out there. photography as cars and watches are some beloved passions of me.
The car is wounderful, hope I could do something for all the classic porsche lovers out there.
993 rocks
