Porsche 911 (964) Carrera RS

Wedged between the G-series and the 993, the Porsche 964 was the brand’s 911 model during the first half of the 1990’s, and was the first 911 to come equipped with multiple creature comforts expected of a 1990’s car, like a fully independent suspension, ABS, and airbags. Sporting a wide variety of engine and trim choices, the 964 enjoyed massive sales success and had a broad appeal along multiple consumer segments, from their lightweight RS models, to their beefy 3.6L Turbo variants, or their automatic ‘Tiptronic’ offerings.

The Carrera RS model resurrects the brand’s Rennsport heritage, initiated by the 2.7-litre and 3.0 RS and RSR variants of the early seventies. The cocktail of a 265hp flat-six, a G50/10 gearbox with shortened ratios, and a strict reduction of weight to 1,220 kilos —close to 130 less than a Carrera 2— ensured a pure, dynamic driving experience. A total of 1,916 M001-specification 964 Carrera RS cars left the assembly line.

This desirable, low-mileage European example was completed at the factory on the April 29th, 1992, and delivered new by Hahn Sportwagen in Stuttgart, Germany. The original owner kept it under personal and company ownership for 25 years, to later sell it to a dealer near Vancouver (Canada) in 2017. Before the turn of the decade, the car moved to a Porsche dealer’s stock in Ottawa, and was subsequently bought by us.

The car was sold by us in early 2022, and it has now returned to our stock one year and a half later, after only 500km of use. Serviced at the Porsche dealer all its life, this rare RS is in exceptional cosmetic and mechanical condition, and is accompanied by a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity and a wealth of books, records, and accessories.
