--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Factory 968 Turbo RS. $4 of 4. Last front-engined racecar built by Porsche and the last 4-cylinder racecar built by Porsche. On display for several years and is the only one in it's original condition. 337HP with restrictor plate; can easily be increased as demonstrated by other Turbo RS cars that have 450+ HP.
Originally purchased by Joest Racing to compete in the 1993 German ADAC GT series. First race at the Nurburgring where it qualified on the pole, driven by Manuel Reuter. Bumped from behind by a 911 RS 3.8, and was damaged in front and back. Went back to the factory and was repaired by Porsche. Then purchased by Roock Racing. Original Grand Prix white paint scheme was enhanced with a blue front-end and Mobil 1 graphics. Raced by Dieter Koll in the 1994 ADAC GT series and later raced by Mr. Bobach a few times, then sat for a number of years on display in a VW dealership in Germany.
In 1999 Tim Seidel sold the car to me. It car was shipped to the US where it currently resides in MA. Since then used only for a limited number of autocrosses and driver education track days.
Extremely reliable. Equipped with all the best equipment right from the factory with a sophisticated rollcage tied to all four suspension points, Halon fire suppression system, emergency electrical disconnect, air jacks, adjustable rear wing, front air splitter, 43 liter fuel cell. Upgrades include an additional 2.5 lb fire extinguisher. Passenger seat exactly matching the driver seat was obtained and has installed. Upgraded control arms installed for safety. Seat back braces have been added, harnesses replaced with new ones. Included are the air jack activation tool, two sets of wheels, two sets of Pirelli slicks (one with some use, one fresh set). Amazingly fast and is easy to drive, not tail-heavy like a 911.
This is the final development of Porsche's 924/944/968 series. Price from the factory was 228,000 DM. Meticulously maintained by Autobahn Performance. Perfect cosmetic and mechanical condition. Only 5K km on the odometer (3K miles). Roland Roock states the engine is good for 30K - 40K km between rebuilds. $65,000. Enclosed trailer is also available. For more information see www.968turbo.homestead.com. Contact Bruce Corwin 978-922-4301 days, 978-768-3834 home, bruce@968.net. 07/03
