Exterior
Finished in Polaris Metallic (060) and repainted during a 2009 restoration, this 2002 Turbo features a Turbo-specific body kit including a front air dam, body-color fender flares, multi-color graphics, and a rear spoiler. Additional exterior features include a manually operated sunroof, dual side mirrors, and a single center-exit exhaust outlet. Zinc plating was applied to the locks and several parts, and the belt line, roof line, and sill trims were replaced. The rear bumper, antenna, headlight lenses, and front turn signal lenses were also updated during the restoration.

​

Interior
The cabin is trimmed with Alpina front sport seats and a rear bench upholstered in black Skai vinyl, complemented by a matching dashboard and door panels. Replacement salt-and-pepper carpets and Coco floor mats were installed. A Blaupunkt AM/FM radio is fitted in the center console. Instrumentation includes a red-bezel cluster with a 240-km/h speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,400-rpm redline, fuel and coolant gauges, an analog clock, and a boost gauge. The odometer was reset during the 2009 restoration and now shows 281 kilometers (~174 miles).

Performance & Maintenance
Under the hood sits the turbocharged 2.0-liter M10 inline-four with Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection and a KKK turbocharger, factory rated at 170 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. The engine received extensive refurbishment including new pistons, a 123ignition distributor, rebuilt alternator, starter motor, cleaned and resealed injection pump, and replaced fuel system components. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed dog-leg manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The suspension features Bilstein shocks and refreshed bushings, tie rods, springs, ball joints, and hardware. The braking system was overhauled with a rebuilt master cylinder, and the underside was repainted.
