A rare and highly coveted 1992 Porsche 964 Turbo S Leichtbau has surfaced for auction, offered by a dealer in Monaco. This ultra-exclusive air-cooled 911—one of only 86 examples built globally—was developed by Porsche Motorsport as a stripped-down, high-performance evolution of the 964 Turbo, incorporating learnings from Porsche’s IMSA Supercar program.
Presented in its debut color of Speed Yellow, this chassis (VIN: WP0ZZZ96ZPS479013) was originally delivered in Germany and later owned in France. The odometer reads just over 77,000 kilometers (approx. 48,000 miles), and it received a major service from a Porsche marque specialist in February 2025.
Distinct from the standard 964 Turbo, the Leichtbau (German for “lightweight”) model features extensive weight-saving measures including carbon fiber-reinforced body panels, thin-gauge glass, and the removal of amenities such as power windows, sound insulation, rear seats, and air conditioning. The result is a 419-pound weight reduction compared to its production counterpart.
Powering the car is a modified 3.3-liter M30/69 turbocharged flat-six engine, producing 380 horsepower and 361 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox and sends power to the rear wheels through a limited-slip differential. Porsche’s M030 European Sport Suspension package, red “Big Red” calipers, and cross-drilled rotors complete the performance-focused setup.
Inside, the Leichtbau sports fixed-back Recaro racing seats in black leather with yellow and gray inserts, complemented by yellow seat belts and a three-spoke leather steering wheel. A Becker Mexico cassette stereo and manual heater are among the few creature comforts.
Included in the sale are the owner’s manuals, toolkit, spare tire, air pump, battery tender, car cover, and a clean title. This listing represents a rare chance to acquire one of the most exclusive and performance-oriented 911s of the air-cooled era—widely regarded as a “holy grail” Porsche by collectors worldwide.
