The 1993-1994 Porsche 968 Turbo S, a rare and potent evolution of the front-engined transaxle Porsche, pushed the 968's performance limits. Journalists praised its exceptional handling, formidable turbo-charged power, and refined balance, often noting its track-ready capabilities combined with a surprisingly comfortable ride for a performance car. It's famous for its scarcity (only 14 produced) and being the ultimate expression of the 968 platform. Today, it's a highly sought-after collector's item, ideal for discerning enthusiasts who appreciate rare Porsche history, spirited weekend drives, or even occasional track days, offering a unique blend of vintage analog feel with serious performance.
Owning a 1993-1994 Porsche 968 Turbo S Coupe comes with unique operating expenses. Reliability is generally good, but as an older, high-performance vehicle, components like the timing belt and water pump require proactive replacement, which can be costly. Parts can be rare and expensive due to limited production (around 14 coupes globally). Insurance costs might be higher than average due to its rarity and performance status, but not excessively so if insured as a classic or specialty vehicle. Fuel efficiency is moderate, and premium fuel is required. Regular maintenance by a Porsche specialist is recommended, contributing to higher labor costs.
