As the full lightweight, stripped out Carrera RS was never offered
for the North American market, Porsche wanted to keep enthusiasts
satisfied on this side of the pond and created the RS America
offered both in Coupe and Roadster form. The RS America was a
lightened derivative of the narrow-body Carrera 2. It featured a
unique fixed rear spoiler, RS scripts on the rear deck lid and
quarter panels, a lightweight sporty interior featuring cloth sport
seats, Red cloth door pulls and Red seatbelts (rear seats, cruise
control and power steering were deleted to save weight).
Performance wise, the RS America was fitted with 17-inch Cup wheels
and M030 sport suspension with upgraded shock absorbers from the
911 Turbo. The 3.6 Liter Flat 6-cylinder engine produced 247bhp and
228 lb-ft of torque mated to the G50 5-speed manual gearbox.
This RS was optioned with an electric sliding sunroof, Limited Slip
Differential and Porsche AM/FM radio with cassette player. Produced
on April 17, 1992 as a 1993 model, this RS America was originally
sold through Prestige Imports of Lakewood, Colorado and serviced
there throughout its first ownership. The RS was then sold to its
second owner, a collector in Ohio in 2001 with just 1,695 miles.
Owned by another collector since, this RS has always seen
exceptional care as seen by its all original concours
condition.
This RS America includes its original books, tool kit, tire
compressor, spare wheel, original factory brochure and spec sheet,
and Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. The inside of the hood is
signed by racing legend, Vic Elford, who supervised Porsche to
create this lightweight, track-focused RS America. Serviced when
and where needed, it is immaculate throughout and not normally
found in this pristine, all original condition with just 2,600
miles. A superb opportunity to own a very limited and rare
air-cooled Porsche. It is turn-key ready for immediate
collectability and touring pleasure.
