This was the last 968 Turbo RS built. It was also the last front-engined racecar built by Porsche and the last 4 cylinder racecar built by Porsche. This car was on display for several years and is the only one in it's original condition. It still has the restrictor plate in place and generates 337 HP.
This racecar was originally purchased by Joest Racing to compete in the 1993 German ADAC GT series. It's first race was at the Nurburgring where it qualified on the pole, driven by Manuel Reuter. As the race began, the car was bumped from behind by a 911 RS 3.8, and was damaged.
The car went back to the factory and was repaired by Porsche. It was then purchased by Roock Racing. The original Grand Prix white paint scheme was enhanced with a blue front-end and Mobil 1 graphics. It was raced by Dieter Koll in the 1994 ADAC GT series and later raced by Mr. Bobach only a few times, then sat for a number of years on display in a Volkswagen dealership in Germany. In 1999 Tim Seidel sold the car to Bruce Corwin and the car was shipped to the United States. Bruce drove the car only for a limited number of autocrosses and driver education track days before selling it in 2003 to Jason Burkett of Paragon Products in Texas.
The car was equipped with all the best equipment right from the factory with a sophisticated rollcage tied to all four suspension points, Halon fire supression system, emergency electrical disconnect, air jacks, adjustable rear wing, front air splitter and 43 liter fuel cell.
