Anyone ever seen one for sale? Or know of any existing cars??

Have a freind who really wants one, but I assume they will be mega£££££

Last (and only one) I saw for sale was a fairly scrappy example at 55,000 euros

see also http://968.net/registry/registry_turbo_s.htm

(saw the blue one at Croft)

and it might be worth contacting Konstantin about cars for sale

Your MATE????????? would find it far easier (& a LOT cheaper!!!!!!!!!!!!!) to get a decent CS & get 9M to bolt on a Supercharger ???

I don't know what the output of a 968 Turbo is but 350bhp would be pretty nice in a CS...

Had a passenger ride in one. Lovely car, very fast.
However it will represent better performance/money to build a 2.8 with a big turbocharger out of a simple 944 turbo.

Or plonk a 944 Turbo SE engine in a CS...

Really it isn't me, If I was going to get a second Porsche to go with my GT3RS it would be a mint 968CS or a 964RS.

He doesn't want a copy, or a modded 968, he want's the real thing.

There is a black one up north,i believe redline racing were supporting the car at donnington last year,it was racing in our open race.
I was told it was the proper thing,did not show much interest in it though.I am sure it was actualy titled.As a turbo rs.It looked good.

This site may be of interest to him it shows the black car Burzel is talking about as well. The blue Joest car Car no 4 of 4 was for sale by Bruce Corwin www.968.net/classifieds/classifieds.htm#Autos%20for%20Sale in the USA he wanted $65000 for it at the end of 2003 and it sold to a guy in Texas who is currently happy with it.
If you could by one for this kind of money then they are long term keepers IMHO especaly looking at the $ over the £.

The black one is a turbo RS, not a turbo S. You couldn't use a turbo RS on the road - well, everything can happen in the UK .
The turbo S I went in is not in mint condition and some day it will appear for sale, hopefully when I will have enough funds.
Good luck to your friend for finding a good one at a decent price.

Interesting article comparing the 924 Carrera GT with the 968 Turbo S here.
