Porsche 964 RS

In 1992, Porsche produced for the European market a super-lightweight, rear-wheel-drive version of the 964 named Carrera RS. It was based on Porsche’s 911 “Carrera Cup” race car. It featured a revised version of the standard engine, with an increased power output of 260 bhp and lightweight flywheel coupled to the G50/10 transmission with closer ratios, asymmetrical Limited Slip Differential and steel synchromesh. A track-oriented suspension system with 40 mm (1.6 in) lower ride height, stiffer springs, shocks and adjustable stabilizer bars without power steering.

A stripped-out interior without power windows, rear seats, air conditioning, cruise control, sound deadening or a stereo system (optionally fitted) and new racing-bucket front seats were part of the package. The bonnet was made of aluminum, the chassis was seam welded and sound deadening was deleted. Wheels were made of magnesium and the glass was thinner in the doors and rear window. The Carrera RS is approximately 155 kg lighter than the Carrera 2 model.

This all makes the 964 RS a pure driving machine with incredible sounds! Old enough to feel the heritage of the legendary 1973 Carrera RS and modern enough to drive it fast!

This beautiful example was delivered new by Mizwa Japan to its first owner on July 23, 1992 as one of only 1.992 European 964 Carrera RSs.

The car was ordered from the factory without options, as it should be for an RS.

In 1996, the car has been sold to its second japanese owner.

Until 2013, the car resided in Japan, where it was meticulously maintained. Everything was nicely kept in the Japanese maintenance book. As if that were not enough, all maintenance receipts were also kept.

In 2014, the car was brought to the UK by Hexagon, who in turn sold it to the cars third owner, a Frenchman. This Frenchman owned the car until 2022.
