Background:
Few of Porsches modern era creations are shrouded in more mystery
than those that emerged from Porsche's "PORSCHE EXCLUSIV"
department beginning in the mid-1980s. While there had always been
"back-door" channels to arrange for special features and options,
usually known as the "Sonderwunschprogramm", not until the mid
1980s did Porsche organize a more formal department and separate,
"stand-alone" production area to deal exclusively with special
orders and special requests. These could be something a simple as a
request for a non-standard color or interior trim, to far more
unique features and options that today can be difficult to fully
understand and comprehend. One of the more famous of the "PORSCHE
EXCLUSIV" option packages was the M505 and M506 "Flachbau" or
"Slope Nose" front end treatment. But as we will soon see, there
were other even more rare and interesting programs those in the
know could order if they new who to ask, how to ask for it and of
course a willingness to pay what Porsche demanded for such
personalized attention.
Turbo 3.3, 330bhp:
As early as 1981, for European clients, Porsche began providing
directly a special optional engine upgrade that boosted output of
the standard 3.3-liter engine from 300bhp to 330bhp. This involved
the fitting of a special intercooler, turbocharger and wastegate
system as well as revised engine timing, camshaft timing and
fuel-injection upgrades. Only a handful of such Factory modified
Turbos are known to exist but requests and interest grew
sufficiently that sometime in 1985, an actual full option package
under M-Code's "09981 & 09991" was created. 1989 was the last year
of the legendary 3.3-liter Porsche Turbo based on the original 1975
design. It was also the first and only year the model finally did
away with the antiquated four-speed for the incredible "G50",
five-speed gearbox. The full "S" performance and appearance package
was quietly made available to select clientele. This was also the
very first year that Porsche provided publicly a production list of
those vehicles that were fitted with this special "S" production
package. Porsche's internal records document that at total of 1,675
Turbos were completed in 1989. Of these completed examples, Porsche
confirms that just 55 left-hand-drive Turbo S Coupes left the
Factory making it one of the rarest of the rare to emerge form
"PORSCHE EXCLUSIV." The 1989 Turbo S package consisted of the
following components:
-Type 930/66S Engine, Flat-6, Turbocharged 3.3-liter, 330BHP
-Special Front Mounted Oil-Cooler
-Combination of a 6,800 RPM rev limit on a 7,000RPM Tach with a
300KPH Speedometer and 1 BAR boost Gauge
-Special Front Air Dam Spoiler with Integral Oil Cooler Inlet and
Integral Fog Lights
-Special Rear Lower Valence with Integral Quad-Exhaust Outlet
Ports
-Quad Tip, Free-Flowng Exhaust System
-Sport Seats Left and Right
-Unique Front Console and Control Arrangement
-G50/50 1 Five-Speed Gearbox with Limited Slip Differential
-Fuch Light-Alloy Rims
-Bridgestone Z-Rated Speed Tires
Examination of an original Turbo S from 1989 reveals a variety of
easily seen unique differences. From the front end the vehicle
features a radically different and aggressive front air dam with
integral oil-cooler inlet and fog-light assemblies. Behind this is
a massive oil-cooler with large supply and return lines that are
hand-routed through the front luggage compartment and right-inner
fender-well area. These pass along the right-side body work to a
special oil-thermostat and dry-sump oil tank. The rear of the Turbo
S likewise has a completely unique appearance with a special rear
valence assembly with dual large cut-outs on each side prominently
showing the unique dual-tip, free-flowing, non-catalyst exhaust
system. The gearbox and engine combination were the most developed
ever seen on a production road Porsche to date. The gearbox was the
all new five-speed G50/50-1 with limited slip differential. The
engine incorporated a special, massive intercooler, larger
turbocharger and accompanying wastegate system and free-flowing,
quad-tip, non-catalyst exhaust system as well as revised engine
ignition timing, camshaft profile and subsequent fuel-injection
revisions. Visually with close examination, the top of the engine
block near the engine number itself, Porsche stamped these special
motors with a distinct "S" after the "930/66" engine "Typ."
number.
The performance increase from these upgrades was significant, with
raw bhp rising from 300 at 5,500rpm to 330 at 5,750rpm. Engine
torque also rose dramatically, going from 430nm at 4,000rpm to a
"stump-puling" 467nm at 4,500rpm! With no increase in vehicle
weight, both acceleration and top speed were significantly
increased. Top speed of the standard 1989 Turbo was 260kph /
162mph. The "S" upgrade increased top speed to 270kph / 168mp...for
