Chassis No. WP0ZZZ99ZTS390324 Engine No. 63S85927 For more than half a century, the Porsche 911 has served as the definitive sports car benchmark, with the Rennsport derivatives representing its purest and most uncompromising form. Following in the footsteps of the legendary Carrera RS of 1973, the 3.0 RS of 1974, and the SC RS of 1984, Porsche revived the RS designation with the 1992 964 RS for it to be further enhanced upon the release of the 993. Power came from the 3.8-liter Type M64/20 flat-six, the largest engine fitted to a road-going 993. Featuring large valves, Porsche's Varioram intake, lightweight forged pistons, dual oil coolers, and lightened rocker arms, it produced 300 PS and 355 Newton meters of torque. The close-ratio G50/31 six-speed transmission offered shorter gearing in the lower ratios and a crisper shift, emphasizing acceleration over outright speed. Chassis enhancements included a front strut brace, ball-joint damper mounts, and fully adjustable anti-roll bars. Braking was entrusted to an ABS sourced from the 993-generation 911 Turbo along with its four-piston brake calipers. A limited-slip differential and ABD traction control further underscored the car's competition pedigree. Purpose-built 18-inch Speedline three-piece alloy wheels, nine inches wide in front and 11 inches in the rear, wore massive 225/40 front and 265/35 rear tires. In keeping with Rennsport tradition, weight savings were extensive with thinner glass, an aluminum hood, reduced soundproofing, and deleted rear seating. Even the washer fluid reservoir was reduced to 1.2 liters while airbags, a radio, and air conditioning remained optional. Only produced in 1995 and 1996, just 1,014 993-generation Carrera RS were built, including the example presented here. Built on 13 July 1995, this Black RS was sold new in its homeland of Germany just under a month later, on 11 August as one of just 787 examples produced with the M002 Strassenversion package and the M470 small, fixed rear wing. This option combination struck the ideal blending of homologated performance with the road going drivability Porsche is known for. Complete with a Black leather interior, the car featured the optional Blaupunkt radio, air conditioning, power windows, power steering, and dual front airbags. Accompanying the car is a reprinted Guarantee and Maintenance booklet with stamps going back to 1995, with the first service stamp entered by Porsche Zentrum Limburg, Germany, on 30 October 1995 at 2,927 kilometers. The car remained in Germany, with regular services taking place through 2007, covering 91,557 kilometers. The next entry indicates that the car was in France in 2009, with 101,144 kilometers on the odometer with additional paperwork showing it was imported to France in 2010, and later to Belgium in 2015. The most recent service book entry is from April 2020 at 107,898 kilometers in Belgium. According to the accompanying history file, an overhaul of the suspension and other mechanical components was completed in June 2020 by JM Performance of Fleurus, Belgium. In total, the history file comprises nearly €40.000 in service records dating back to 2011. As one of the most potent iterations of the final road-going air-cooled 911 generation, the 993-generation 911 Carrera RS remains highly sought after by collectors for its rarity and by enthusiasts for its praised driving characteristics. With nearly thirty years passing since the final example was produced, finding well-preserved examples such as this car is an increasingly difficult task. Benefiting from a documented maintenance history and displaying just under 108,000 kilometers at cataloging, this striking and rare Black/Black Carrera RS is the ideal example for continued enjoyment.
