Chassis No. WP0ZZZ96ZNS490751

Produced only for the 1992 model year, this left-hand-drive, French-delivery example is one of 1,992 Carrera RS models built for the RoW (Rest of World) market. As such, it weighs approximately 271 pounds less than the U.S.-market RS America and nearly 300 pounds less than the standard 964-generation Carrera Coupe. This was achieved by sacrificing all driver aids and creature comforts in the name of weight savings, which included removing the insulation, sound proofing, power accessories, power steering, the stereo, and interior door handles. The front lid was made of aluminum, the chassis was seam welded, the side windows were made of thinner glass, and the 17-inch Cup wheels were made of magnesium, all together transforming the RS into a more visceral and responsive 911.

Imported to the United States in September 2023, this Guards Red Carrera RS has covered just under 60,000 kilometers (37,050 miles) from new and is offered with a number of tasteful upgrades. Under previous ownership, the air-cooled “M64/03” flat-six was enlarged to displace 3.8 liters and equipped with sport cams by noted UK Porsche specialist Neil Bainbridge in 2017. The consignor also reports that the “G50/10” transmission was rebuilt under previous ownership and that a recent service included replacing the valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, fan belt, a brake fluid flush, an oil change, and more. This RS additionally benefits from a complete header-back Cargraphic exhaust system, bolt-in roll cage, and single-piece Black leather-trimmed Recaro bucket seats featuring tricolor Grey inserts – further enhancing its already impressive track-focused performance.

Presented in its stunning original Guards Red finish as verified by recent paint meter readings, this highly sought-after 911 would be ideal for a Porsche enthusiast seeking to experience one of the most exciting lightweight, track-ready variants of the 964 generation.
