1995 PORSCHE 911 (993) CARRERA RS

KEY FACTS

  • An exciting and remarkably rare modern classic sports car, which is in fantastic condition.
  • Its engine is a 296bhp 3.8-litre naturally aspirated flat-six, driving the rear wheels through a six-speed G50/31 manual transmission.
  • It was given a comprehensive service and case reseal at Porsche Center Vancouver in 2020, with a two-year warranty.
  • While initially delivered to the Netherlands (C20 code), this 993 RS has spent most of its life in Japan, and comes with lots of Japanese service history.

EQUIPMENT AND OPTIONS

  • One of just 1,104 examples of the 993 Carrera RS built, this car was specified in the desirable Polar Silver hue, and was also ordered with the more discreet rear spoiler.
  • Its flat-six engine is equipped with lightweight forged pistons, dual oil coolers, large intake valves, a VarioRam variable-length intake manifold, a modified Bosch Motronic engine management system and lightened rocker arms.
  • The RS rides on lowered suspension with Bilstein dampers and adjustable anti-roll bars, also featuring an under-bonnet strut-brace.
  • The cabin features leather-trimmed sport seats, lightweight door cards, reduced sound deadening and rear seat delete. It was also specified with electric windows, front airbags, and air-conditioning.
  • A new retro-styled Porsche Classic Communication Management (PCCM) head unit has been fitted with navigation and USB connectivity.
  • Accompanying the vehicle are its original owner’s manuals, plus numerous Japanese maintenance invoices.

CONDITION
