Late in the 1994 model production year, during one of the worst years ever for Porsche (only 1800 cars sold in North America) a new option package for the 3.6 Turbo appeared on the fax machines of dealers all over the world. It was called the Turbo S Flachbau Package. The world economy was just starting to see daylight from a recession and Porsche enthusiasts were awaiting the all new 993 when Rolf Springer in the Wunderwunsch special wishes Department was given one last mandate: go build the ultimate Turbo.
Thus the Turbo S Flachbau was born, a slantnose featuring exposed headlights. It went on to become one of the rarest production Porsche’s ever built. This Flachbau is one of only 39 of these models to reach our shores and one of only 76 sold worldwide. It had a stunning MSRP of $166,022, including the $60,179 Flachbau option, quite a sum over 15 years ago. This Turbo has scored 294 points (out of 300) in national concours competition.
