911 Turbo S 3.6 “Package”

1994Coupé

When the leftover 964 Turbo chassis were finished by Porsche Exclusive, 17 US cars received option X85, which combined the X88 motorsport engine with the original 964-style front end in place of the Flachbau slant nose. These are known as the “Package” cars, and RM Sotheby's sold one at the Porsche 70th Anniversary Auction. Mechanically they are otherwise identical to the Flachbau Turbo 3.6 S: Exclusive front and rear spoilers, 959-influenced rear fender intakes and 385 PS. The reason to prefer them is purely visual — and significant, because with the standard 964 nose they read as a wide-bodied Turbo rather than as a stylistic preview of the 993, which is why the two groups tend to be valued differently.

What the sources do not settle (4)

  • This variant id is an APPEND (not in data/roster.json): it documents the non-Flachbau half of the 93 leftover Turbo chassis, which the roster's turbo-s-3.6 entry does not cover.
  • Count conflicts: 17 (Wikipedia, RM Sotheby's) vs 19 (Stuttcars). Both recorded; no reconciliation found.
  • Acceleration, top speed and weight are given for the Turbo 3.6 S as a whole because Package-specific figures could not be verified; weight is left null.
  • Stuttcars describes the X88 option as raising power to 380 hp while Wikipedia's table gives 385 PS (283 kW); the metric figure is used.
