Americans are generally used to not being able to get all the types
of cars that the Europeans are able to enjoy due to stricter safety
and emission regulations. However, once in a while the stars align
and let a truly awesome automobile make its way to the U.S., even
if those stars being aligned is due to the hard work of
enthusiasts. When Porsche announced that the new lightweight 964
Carrera RS would not make its way to American shores, there was an
uproar among American Porsche enthusiasts ready to purchase a
lighter and more focused Carrera. Undeterred, these enthusiasts
constantly hounded Porsche to release a car that they could
actually buy, and in 1993 Porsche relented with this: the RS
America. Built to meet U.S. regulations while providing a more
focused driving experience, the RS America was lighter, nimbler,
faster, and most importantly a crucial step in returning the 911 to
its racing heritage.
This 1993 Porsche 911 RS America was sold to Silver Star Motors,
Inc. of Long Island City, New York. Painted black with a black
interior with cloth seats, the RS America was optioned with every
line item you could add from the factory. These 4 specific options
were air conditioning, an electric sunroof, a limited slip
differential, and a Porsche AM/FM radio with cassette. The total
MSRP of this car in 1993 was $61,612.00.
The RS America's title for its first owner was reported on July
15th, 1992. During that time, the car moved from New Jersey to
Pennsylvania, eventually settling down in Wisconsin. The car
remained there with its owner until approximately 2014 and was
brought to Arizona. The most recent owner purchased the car in
March of 2016, adding the car to his Porsche collection. Being
known for his highly original examples and a fan of the RS
Americas, this black over black example fit right in with his other
cars. He kept the car for almost 4 years, keeping the car
maintained and driving it sparingly while it was in his
possession.
When the RS America arrived at Canepa, it was inspected from front
to back. Evident that it had enjoyed a very pampered lifestyle from
its excellent original paintwork and original factory finishes with
little to no wear throughout the car, confirmation that the
previous owners cared for it extremely well. The RS was given a
complete concours-level detail which also included a full cleaning
removal of the factory cosmoline underneath, revealing factory
finishes in excellent condition. The black paintwork was polished
using only foam pads to bring out a shining luster from the
original paint finish. Now ready for its next lucky owner to enjoy
the rewarding and rare experience of driving an RS America, this
example will be sure to leave you with wanting to drive in it more
and more and experience Porsche's RS for America.
