  • Delivered to Germany in December 1992, prior to Spanish registration
  • The first model developed entirely by the Porsche Exclusive department
  • ‘Paint-To-Sample’ Speed Yellow over a three-tone ‘Interior-To-Sample’ cabin
  • The odometer displayed 30,933 kilometres at the time of cataloguing

Reportedly the first model developed and built in-house by Porsche’s Exclusive Manufaktur customisation programme, the 964-generation 911 Turbo S Lightweight was conceived to essentially be a road-going counterpart to the racer that won the 1991 IMSA Supercar Championship in the United States.

A more efficient KKK turbocharger, larger fuel injectors, and more aggressive camshafts boosted the 3.3-litre forced-induction flat-six to 381 horsepower, which was delivered via a five-speed Getrag transmission. In addition, ditching power steering, air conditioning, rear seats, and sound-deadening material wiped a massive 180 kilograms from the kerb weight.

A mere 86 examples were built. Among the 67 cars configured in left-hand drive is chassis number 479021, offered here. Ordered new by a Porsche VIP client, it was completed for German country code “C00” in September 1992 wearing ‘Paint-To-Sample’ Speed Yellow. Meanwhile, Black leather—the bucket seats and three-spoke steering wheel also feature yellow and grey inserts—trims the ‘Interior-To-Sample’ cabin. Optional equipment included an on-board computer, limited-slip differential, and a set of Dunlop tyres to wrap the 18-inch Speedline split wheels.

Delivered in December 1992, the Turbo S Lightweight moved to Spain the following year and, since 1993, boasts single-family ownership. Alongside two stamps in the service book recording visits to Porsche España in 1993 and 1998, the car is documented by six ITV technical inspections carried out between 1997 and 2007, prior to tests in 2021 and October 2023.

The catalogued odometer reading of 30,933 kilometres was mostly accrued during the first decade of ownership. Since the turn of the millennium, the car has been kept in running condition but rarely driven on the public roads. It was submitted to Porsche Classic Center Gelderland for inspection in October 2026. The corresponding report, available on file, notes the presence of the matching-numbers engine and gearbox. The car is offered for sale with its owner’s guide folio.

A lightweight, race-derived, limited-production Porsche special, this Turbo S Lightweight ranks among the most collectable of air-cooled 911s.
