^Yes, exactly.

The closest thing the US got to this particular car, the '92 Turbo S, was the Porsche 911 Turbo S2. You can read about that particular car here:

The '92 Turbo S can be summed up in 1 equation. RS+Turbo = '92 3.3 Turbo S.

From the outside the differences are: Front bumper chin spoiler is different and slightly deeper, ducts in front bumper instead of foglights, ducts on the rear 1/4 panels. The spoiler is probably the most unique feature. It's a 1-piece composite whale tail with a fatter base to fit over the intercooler, and it's painted body color instead of the standard tea-tray that has the wrap-around lip on 3 sides in hard black plastic. Some of the cars had cursive writing down the rocker panel that read "Supercar Champion" and a little Porsche silhouette with "IMSA" written below it as a tribute to the 964 winning that series championship. This was also the first 964 to wear the Speedline for Porsche 3-piece wheels. All other 3.3 cars were fitted with the Cup 1 wheels.

The cars have a carbon kevlar hood, aluminum doors, lightweight interior carpetwith either airbag wheel or "930S" wheel (depending on market) and came with the same Recaro seats that Porsche put in the 964 Speedster. No backseats. Some cars came with a rollbar.

The result was 180kg in weight savings and the engine was tuned to 381hp instead of the standard 320 with some suspension parts from the RS and motorsports dept.

Like Hani said, only 80 built, none for US market.
Great info, I'm always amazed by your knowledge. As for the car, I am just speechless.

Wow, never knew that thanks Z!

This has now replaced my previous 964 dream car. Stunning car and facts (rep owed Z). Wish they had these in the US. Perfect color to top it all off.

Mashallah!

The 964 has always been my dream Porsche especially the Flachbau.. Drove me crazy...

This might have a smaller engine but goodness gracious I never knew we had this in Bahrain... I definitely would love to own one but I don't want to ask how much it is (maybe sometime in the future haha) but it surely and most definitely has a price tag to match its exquisitely renowned name and history.

And that Merc at the front with that 993 on the side...

My laptop is officially pregnant!
