In the rarified world of Porsche Works Performance Packages, there
are those easily identifiable by the iconic Flachbau (flatnose)
front end treatment, like the X83 package for Japan with 944-like
covered headlights, and the X84 and X85 packages for Rest-of-World
and North America respectively, both with 928-like pop-up
headlights. Then, there are those that are not immediately
apparent, but which connoisseurs recognize as some of the most
desirable of the so-called "package cars."
These include a limited 64 examples of the Turbo 3.6 produced in
1994 with the coveted X88 Works Performance Package, which bestowed
the M64/50 air-cooled flat six with an uprated turbocharger with
increased boost, a more efficient intercooler, modified cylinder
heads with larger ports, increased-capacity fuel injectors, and
more radical camshafts with advanced engine timing. These upgrades
brought 25 additional horsepower for a peak output of 385
horsepower at 5,750 rpm-making it the most powerful model in the
964 range. Unlike its Flachbau counterparts, however, the front end
of the X88 was unchanged-instead distinguished only by its 18-inch
Speedline spit-rim wheels and four-outlet exhaust system (XE2).
This German-market 911 Turbo 3.6 X88 was completed by Porsche
Exclusive on 2 December 1993 as a 1994 model year. Finished in
stunning Paint-to-Sample non-metallic "Ferrari Yellow" over a Black
leather interior, its extensive original options list included
heated and electrically-height-adjustable sports seats, electric
sliding sunroof, top tinted windscreen, deleted model designation,
and a 92-liter fuel tank along with the coveted X88-code equipment.
Additionally, this exclusive package car also carries a rare front
lip spoiler (X92) typically reserved for the Turbo S X88-of which
just 17 were built.
Offered with 52,848 kilometers (approximately 32,849 miles) at the
time of cataloging, this powerful and rare 964 variant benefits
from recent major engine-out service courtesy of Repasi Motorwerks
LLC in Stratford, Connecticut. The work, completed in November
2023, addressed multiple systems including engine oil leaks,
secondary air components, waste gate rebuilding, fuel and ignition
system service, a clutch replacement, and suspension upgrades with
Bilstein coil-overs and RSR-style tie rods and control arms. The
car also received brake system refurbishment with stainless steel
lines and caliper refinishing, HVAC repairs, and a Fister short
shifter upgrade. Invoices on file show the car had 50,465
kilometers recorded at service completion, with the total cost of
the work exceeding $55,000. Now meticulously prepared, this
exceptional package car awaits its next enthusiast to enjoy its
full potential.
In seamlessly blending unalloyed aesthetics with an exhaustive
technical specification and stunning performance, these cars remain
among the most desirable of all roadgoing Porsches of the
post-901/911-shape era, embodying the very finest of their lineage.
In the case of this immaculately specified example, such
desirability is correspondingly enhanced, and as such it would make
an ideal and inspired addition to any serious Porsche or
performance-focused car collection.
