=== 968 Turbo S === In 1993, Porsche Motorsports at Weissach briefly produced a [[Turbocharger|turbocharged]] 968 Turbo S, a fairly odd naming choice for Porsche which usually reserves the added "S" moniker for models that have been tuned for more power over a "lesser" counterpart, such as with the 911 Turbo. The 968 Turbo S shared the same body and interior as the Club Sport and visually can be identified by the NACA bonnet hood scoops, adjustable rear wing, three-piece speedline wheels and deeper front spoiler. The car had the suspension lowered by {{cvt|0.7|in|mm|1|abbr=on|order=flip}} and was {{cvt|45|lb|kg|0|abbr=on|order=flip}} lighter than the standard 968.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://carbuzz.com/news/rare-porsche-968-turbo-s-one-of-only-14-in-the-world|title=Rare Porsche 968 Turbo S One Of Only 14 In The World|date=15 March 2019|first=Martin|last=Bigg|publisher=Carbuzz|access-date=4 May 2019}}</ref> The 968 Turbo S was powered by a 3.0 L engine with an 8-valve SOHC cylinder head (from the 944 Turbo S) and 944S2 style engine block. Tests conducted in 1993 returned a 0 to {{convert|97|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}} time of 4.7 seconds and a top speed of {{convert|282|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}. The engine generated {{convert|309|PS|kW hp|abbr=on}} at 5,600 rpm with a maximum torque of {{convert|500|Nm|lb.ft|0|abbr=on}} at 3,000 rpm.<ref name = "Christophorus (2_93)"> '' Christophorus '' Porsche Magazine, Issue No. 2 of 1993.</ref><ref name = "Jürgen Barth (S182)">[[#JBGB|Barth and Büsing]], p. 182. </ref><ref name = "Jürgen Barth (S179)">[[#JBGB|Barth and Büsing]], p. 179. </ref> Only 14 were produced in total and only for sale in mainland Europe. {{clear}}
