Oh Sweet Chariot

Someone Please Buy Us This Ultra-Rare Lightweight Porsche 911 Turbo S 

One of just 86 ever made, this 964 911 Turbo S Leichtbau is special for more than one reason, and we want it 


This rare slice of Stuttgart metal is one you really don’t see or hear about very often, though. It’s not as overtly special as some of the cheaper machines up for grabs at the Silverstone Auctions May Sale, but it’s a gem to those who know. It’s a 1993 911 Turbo S ‘Leichtbau’, or Lightweight. Some say it means more like ‘Light Build’ but the literal translation works for us. Just 86 examples of the 964-era car were ever built, of which this is number 51. Even in black it’s stunning. Just don’t look at the interior, or the 1990s cool might overwhelm you. Oh, go on then, but don’t say we didn’t warn you:

What made it special wasn’t just the scarcity; it was the weight-saving measures. Some 180kg was chopped out of the regular Turbo to create the first globally-sold Porsche to wear the S suffix. It comes with a Porsche certificate of authenticity, lots of history and a price tag that says ‘no, no you can’t afford me.’ The lower estimate is £475,000, but sensible bids could reach £575,000, according to the auctioneers.

This Is My Favorite From The List

These are the Five Rarest Porsches in the World

5) 911 turboS (964) 


First up is this yellow devil. 86 were made in total. Developed by Porsche's Weissach racing department in 1992, the car is a lovely example of how racing is at the core of the Stuttgart marque. This 964 took a standard turbo and give it bigger injectors, a lightweight (read spartan) interior and more aggressive camshafts to give it 376hp and make it one of the fastest cars on the road at the time. Lowered suspension, a front strut brace and manual steering signified that this car was for serious Porsche fans only. The Speed Yellow colour was developed especially for this model. Might stick with BRG to be honest...
