The Carrera RS N/GT was the most uncompromising road car of
Porsche's 964-generation 911, conceived as a homologation special
for BPR Group N and ADAC competition. Of the 2,179 Carrera RS
models Porsche built for the 1992 model year, just 290 left the
factory in N/GT specification, each ordered with the M003 Club
Sport package that set it apart from the standard Carrera RS.
Where the base RS already discarded power steering, airbags,
undercoating, and rear seats in favor of a seam-welded shell,
thinner glass, an aluminum hood, and a simplified wiring loom, the
N/GT went further. The coveted M003 option added a welded roll
cage, an enlarged fuel tank, a fire extinguisher, a cockpit cut-off
switch, and fixed-back Recaro bucket seats with Schroth six-point
harnesses. The interior was stripped further still, its remaining
sound insulation and carpeting removed, and the cabin floor was
left as bare wooden boards. Seventeen-inch magnesium Cup wheels
completed a car much closer to a road-legal Carrera Cup than a
typical lightened 911.
Behind the rear axle sat the 3.6-liter M64/03 flat-six, tuned to
260 horsepower and paired with a close-ratio five-speed manual, a
single-mass flywheel, and a limited-slip differential. Lowered
suspension, stiffer anti-roll bars, and 911 Turbo-derived brakes
sharpened a chassis already trimmed to a curb weight of about 2,734
lbs. The result earned its reputation as the true successor to the
1973 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Lightweight and it remains among the most
coveted 911 variants Porsche ever produced.
One of just 290 Clubsport N/GT examples built, chassis 499100 was
completed in iconic Guards Red and equipped from the factory with
the welded Matter roll cage, fixed-back fiberglass competition
seats, and six-point belts recorded in its German Fahrzeugbrief
registration. The car was first registered on 31 December 1991, and
by the mid-1990s, it was in the long-term care of Frank Henze of
Trendelburg, Germany, who registered it as KS-L 911 and entrusted
its maintenance to Porsche Zentrum Paderborn (formerly Thiel
Sportwagen). The accompanying file documents this dedicated care in
detail, beginning with service at 17,000 kilometers in August 1994,
a comprehensive 20,000-km service in 1996, and a 40,000-km service
in 2008 at 33,731 actual km. Routine servicing and biennial T�V and
DEKRA inspections follow at regular intervals, the odometer
climbing slowly to roughly 34,700 kilometers by 2015.
Recently imported to the United States from Carrera RS authority
Thomas Josef Schmitz, the car is now offered from a noted Porsche
collection in Maryland. On arrival, it was inspected and serviced
by At Speed Motors, who noted it was a "wonderfully light car to
drive and very well setup," and it subsequently passed Maryland
state inspection in 2024. It remains unmodified save for the
addition of a Halon fire-suppression system and presents with
factory paint thickness throughout apart from the driver's-side
rear quarter, where the color and texture are noted by the
consigning specialist an excellent match. The car also benefits
from PPF applied to the front bumper, the front portion of trunk
lid, and below the headlights, safeguarding the original finish.
Showing just 35,892 kilometers (�22,302 miles) at the time of
cataloging, this rare Guards Red Clubsport N/GT is offered as a
comprehensively documented example of Porsche's most uncompromising
964 and one of the finest roadgoing Porsches of all time.
