In January 1993, Porsche introduced the highly anticipated 964 turbo 3.6, equipped with a KKK K27 turbocharged version of the 3.6-liter M64 engine. Delivering an impressive 360PS (355bhp; 265kW) at 5,500 rpm and 520N⋅m (384lbf⋅ft) at 4,200 rpm of torque, this model was exclusively produced for the 1993/1994 model years. With fewer than 1,500 units manufactured in total, it quickly became one of the rarest and most coveted Porsches ever produced, rivaling the legendary 959. Notably, a black 1994 model year variant was prominently featured in the Bad Boys movie starring Will Smith.
As the 964 production drew to a close in 1994, Porsche found itself with approximately 90 Turbo chassis remaining. These were transferred to Porsche Exclusive and crafted into the extraordinary Turbo 3.6 S models, available in two configurations: the traditional 964 Turbo 3.6 body or the exclusive flachbau (slant nose) option.
The Turbo S Flachbau, designated as Option X83 (Japan), X84 (non-US), and X85 (US). This option included slantnose fenders along with the 'X88' Turbo S motor, the 'X92' Exclusive front spoiler, 'X93' Exclusive rear spoiler, and 'X99' Exclusive rear fender air intakes inspired by the Porsche 959. The flachbau design drew inspiration from the model 968 front end and featured the iconic 930-style Turbo S front end for the Japanese market. A total of 39 models were produced for the US market, 27 for the international market, and 10 for Japan, all finished in Polar Silver. Additionally, Porsche Exclusive commissioned an extra 17 X85 models for the US, known as the "Package cars," which reverted to the original 964-style front end, replacing the slantnose front end.
