Porsche had two goals with the 964 Carrera RS: Remove weight and
add power. By shaving 345 pounds from a stock 964 and bumping up
the power to 260 horsepower, Porsche introduced a limited edition
964 in 1992 that was worthy of the Carrera RS name. With a
single-mass flywheel, twin plug engine, racing bucket seats and a
stripped out interior, not only did it perform far better than a
stock 964, but provided the driver with a more direct physical
connection to the driving experience.
This Carrera RS was ordered with a request for a standard German
domestic market model in left-hand drive configuration with plans
to immediately import the car to Japan. Painted in the stunning and
extremely rare Black Metallic, the RS would clear Japan customs in
an exempt status as a production left-hand drive vehicle and was
then sold to its first owner in 1992. During the car's time in
Japan, it would have two owners who would add very few miles to the
odometer. In 2016, a U.S. Porsche collector would import the RS for
the most recent owner. He would own the car for almost two years
and serviced the car regularly before the RS would arrive here at
Canepa.
Once it arrived, the 964 was inspected meticulously and noted to be
in absolutely exceptional condition. With its original paint in
perfect condition, the leather interior with almost no signs of
wear and the car retaining its factory engine and transmission,
this 964 Carrera RS is a shining example of what a time-capsule RS
looks like. Immaculate throughout, this lightweight beauty is now
ready for its next owner to tear up backroads or drive to this
year's Rennsport VI.
