Basically, it was only used and used exactly for what it was built for. For driving to the limit. Whether on the public road (where almost 30 years ago a lot more was possible than today …) or on a closed runway – the RS was good for all occasions to determine the personal best of its pilot.
Such a thing was not done with so-called collector cars. At least that's what collectors say about their gems … Nobody can promise that, but ask a collector if his polished RS has ever been on a racetrack … we claim that 95% of the answers are “Never!” What experiences these poor people have Failure, mostly rich people, is another matter … owning an RS and not demanding it is unfortunate for the owner. It's like … putting a 44 Magnum in the chest of drawers to kill mosquitos with it. Or put a Defender in the garage without ever driving it off-road. In one case, as in the other, a complete bad buy, because both the RS and the Defender were born with characteristics that the “collector” will never get to know.
Anyone looking for a fully documented, absolutely honest 964 RS with masterfully updated technology and optics should visit us. We mean that very seriously, despite all the serenity with which our vehicle is advertised. With this RS you can tell that it was driven and looked after by people who know how to do it. So did its last owner, who entrusted us with the sale – he obviously knew how to handle an RS. You just notice it in a lot of things, but above all: if someone has owned a car like this for decades, and even polishes it up again on the day it is picked up, there are good reasons….
The two had good and bad times, but always cared for each other. They had a relationship and everyone involved had a "standing". The most carefully revised engine alone still shows the displacement size 3600 ccm and already reveals strength of character. Who is not subject to the attraction of a simultaneous increase from 200 cc to 3.8 liters, dear readers? The additional financial and technical effort hardly differs noticeably if in both cases Zyl. and pistons can be replaced. Bringing the original engine almost to the performance plus of a 3.8 engine just through a very careful revision, however, shows not only intimate expertise but also great persistence, because a revision as just described can possibly take many times as long as a normal engine assembly. It is almost a philosophy, this architecture has above all to do with things that are more and more missed and thus appreciated in our time: patience, precision, know-how and calm, a complex engine like an air-cooled Porsche -Mounting the engine in this way is actually the fine art of a mechanic who loves and understands his job. If, as in this case, it goes the so-called “royal road” and searches for and finds power in every niche of the drive with the same cubic capacity.
The 964 RS presented here clearly had "Drive me" written on its forehead when its first owner was kissing it awake.
This tradition has been followed to the present day until it deserves a complete revision. And now that he has received this restoration in the best possible quality, he is almost too good to "shoot" with it.
An RS with which you can tackle another 150,000 km without hesitation if you cover it with foresight and care on public roads. The 964 RS is carved from the solid and current and future road use will not even make him sweat. This model practically does that with the left.
And the best thing about it is not that it will probably never be cheaper again than it is today. Its future owner is unlikely to lose any more money worth mentioning with it.
But the as many kilometers as possible that he will cover with it from now on will remain priceless! No Porsche drives more pure, dear reader. With this model, the RS pushed the purity of sports car theory to the extreme and Porsche built an uncompromising car for uncompromising people. That means whoever sits in the RS and drives a long lap with it either knows exactly what we are talking about and what we want to express with it. Or he gets out and never drives again.
This is RS.
