The vehicle in detail

Introduced for the 1992 model year, the Porsche 964 Carrera RS marked the revival of the Rennsport nameplate for the first time since the iconic 911 Carrera RS 2.7 of 1973. Developed as a homologation model for Group N racing, it emphasized reduced weight, mechanical simplicity, and heightened driver involvement.

Weighing just 2,706 pounds – approximately 286 pounds lighter than the standard Carrera 2 – the RS achieved its weight savings through extensive measures. These included the removal of sound insulation and undercoating, and the deletion of features such as power windows, rear seats, airbags, and air-conditioning. Additional weight was shed through thinner side and rear glass, an aluminum front lid, a smaller battery, a reduced wiring harness, and lightweight 17” magnesium Cup wheels. The RS also featured seam-welded chassis reinforcements.

Power came from a 3.6-liter flat-six engine, designated M64/03, producing 260 hp at 6,100 rpm and 240 lbs./ft. of torque at 4,800 rpm. Enhancements over the standard M64/01 engine included matched pistons and cylinders, stiffer engine mounts, and retuned engine management. The engine was paired with a G50/10 five-speed manual transaxle featuring shorter gear ratios, a limitedslip differential, and a lightweight single-mass flywheel to sharpen response. Turbo-specification brakes, firmer springs and Bilstein dampers, and a 40 mm ride height reduction completed the RS’s focused chassis setup.

This 1992 Porsche 964 RS is finished in Polar Silver over a Black leatherette interior with black leather Recaro bucket seats featuring grey inserts. One of just 1,910 lightweight RS models built between 1991 and 1992, it was delivered in Japan via Mizwa Motors in Tokyo, the official Porsche distributor at the time. Believed to have remained in a private Japanese collection since its sale in 2016, it was exported to the US in May of that year, where it joined a private, New York-based collection.

Acquired by the consignor, a knowledgeable and meticulous Porsche collector, in May 2021 – with guidance from noted marque experts Jeff Smith and Prescott Kelly – and showing just 378 km (235 miles) on the odometer, this RS was sent to specialist Klub Sport Racing in Riviera Beach, Florida, for recommissioning work, ensuring the car was properly prepared for use. Now showing less than 4,000 km (2,485 miles) at the time of cataloguing, this RS has been selectively driven by an owner who values both use and preservation. Remarkably original throughout, it still displays factory-applied Cosmoline coating on the chassis, Japanese stickers throughout, and its lightweight magnesium Cup wheels retain their original finishes. The car remains in excellent condition, supported by service records and invoices documenting consistent, expert care.

This 964 Carrera RS is supplied with its books, tools, keys, jack, spare, documentation, and its uncommon Mizwa “box” containing a number of branded accessories including gloves, protective vinyl seat covers, and a purple beacon intended for roof placement in case of nighttime breakdown or emergency.

Combining exceptional originality, low mileage, specialist care, and rare delivery items, this extremely well-preserved RS presents a standout opportunity for collectors seeking a highly authentic example of Porsche’s celebrated lightweight homologation model.

*Please note that this vehicle will not be sold for use or resale in California or to a non-dealer California resident.
