968 Turbo RS

   Number 2

This car was painted Speed Yellow, is in pristine condition and has been extensively developed.

There is no restrictor on the engine, which produces 420 HP and 620 nm of torque.  A new electronic management system is under development with a target of 500 HP and 700 nm of torque.

Intercooler and oil coolers are water-spray cooled, factory fitted by Sorbek.

Brake system boost is hydraulic, not vacuum.

Shock absorbers are H2 and V2.  There is an overboost (overtake) control on the steering column stalk.

Gear shift light has been added.

Two way radio with push-to-talk control on steering column.

The car has 19,000 Kilometers with one complete refit at the factory.  It is in perfect order and still races.

The car currently resides in South Africa where it is owned by former factory test driver Robert Reister who competes in a Porsche Challenge series.
