Porsche 964 Carrera RS

All 964 RS coupes were fitted with a potent 3,605-cubic centimeter normally aspirated fuel-injected flat-six that produced 250 horsepower at 6,100 rpm and 228 pound-feet of torque at 4,800 rpm. A five-speed manual transaxle with limited slip put power to the ground. Large ventilated disc brakes all around easily coped with the RS’s maximum speed of 162 mph. The dry weight was trimmed to roughly 2,700 pounds by stripping the interior of unnecessary components, the fitment of thinner glass, and the use of an aluminum hood.

The Japan-market example offered here is one of 1,987 produced for the 1992 model year, according to the book 964 Carrera RS, and one of only 235 finished from the factory in Rubystone Red, a unique shade of magenta that is more than twice as rare as the more traditional Guards Red on the 1992 model. Complementing the vibrant exterior are the Carrera RS’s unique color-block seat centers in factory-correct Violet, Rubystone Red, and Fraise.

The car completed production on 2 April 1992 and was purchased by a Japanese individual later that year in September. The accompanying service booklet confirms routine services were performed between 1992 and 1996, with the final entry noting 9,990 kilometers showing on the odometer. The Porsche Carrera RS was eventually imported into the United States on 2 December 2019 and was acquired by The Boeckman Collection in November 2022, according to additional documentation on file. Since entering the country, the Porsche has continued to receive limited use and today presents in wonderful condition thanks to just 15,783 kilometers (~9,807 miles) showing on the odometer at the time of cataloguing.

With a sport-tuned suspension and a spartan interior, the Carrera RS is designed to let the driver focus on what these cars do best. For the true enthusiast, seeking a low-mileage example of this highly desirable iteration of the type 964 Porsche, look no further.
