Porsche 964 Carrera RS
Highlights
- Magnesium wheels
- Rich service history
- Extremely well maintained
In 1991, 18 years after the original 911 RS 2.7, Porsche decided to bring the iconic “RennSport” letters back. The RS was one of the first in a long line of porsche built for the road, but designed for the track. Based on the Carerra cup cars of the day, Porsche took an extreme approach to weight saving: adding thinner windows, removing sound deadening materials and with not a care in the world about luxury options – removed electric windows and air conditioning. They added lighter bucket seats, carpets and an option for magnesium wheels, which this car has. But the “clubsport” weight saving approach was not enough to make a true RS. Porsche also bumped the power output up to 264 horsepower, added a limited-slip differential and a lightweight flywheel. For better handling they also stiffened and lowered the suspension. Which gives the RS its iconic planted look.
The result was not anything for the faint hearted, Porsche managed to create a true widowmaker, a real “drivers” 911. Built in only 2276 examples it is not only one of enthusiasts favourite Porsches, but also one of the most collectible models. A 964 RS truly belongs in any car collection.
