Porsche 964 Carrera RS

The vehicle in detail

• Limited-production lightweight 964-generation 911; offers an exhilarating, analogue, and unfiltered driving experience
• Stunning Maritime Blue exterior with colour-matched interior elements
• Originally prepared and owned by Porsche for show display purposes; presented on the Porsche stand at the 1991 Frankfurt and Lisbon Motor Shows
• Subsequently owned by Prince Karl Freidrich von Hohenzollern
• Early production example; the 11th Carrera RS invoiced for series production
• Powered by its matching-numbers flat-six engine

After accruing roughly 20,000 kilometres, the Porshe was subsequently sold to Prince Karl Freidrich von Hohenzollern, current head of the House of Hohenzollern, for several years before entering the United Kingdom.
The vehicle is accompanied by owner’s books, a press release announcing the Carrera RS, a tool roll, and tyre inflation kit. Notably, a warranty book contains stamps confirming individual services were performed between 1992 and 2022. Among the invoices on file, the most recent dated, to December 2022, details several minor repairs and the fitment of a Porsche Techequiptment tow bar. The owner further reports the engine still shows within one per cent of specification on the leak-down check carried out by RPM and that, due to being put together for promotional purposes, the throttle response is greater than that of standard customer cars. Adding further desirability to the Carrera RS, a letter on file from Porsche Cars Great Britain confirms the engine, numbered 62N80508, is the matching unit.
A worthy successor to the legendary 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7, the type-964 Carrera RS ushered in a new era of stripped-down 911s that have remained in the lineup to this day. With its outstanding provenance, this example is worthy of a spot in any collection.
