In 1992, Porsche introduced the Carrera RS, a lightweight, rear-wheel-drive only version of the 964. The RS was fitted with individually selected engines of type M64/03 which had a minimum power output of 260hp and a lightweight flywheel coupled to the G50/10 gearbox with closer ratios, asymmetrical limited slip differential and steel synchromesh. The interior was stripped out and was devoid of luxuries such as electric windows, rear seats and air conditioning. Leather Recaro bucket front seats and lightweight carpets were fitted and the sound deadening was much reduced. The bonnet was made of aluminium, the chassis was partly seam welded, and thinner glass was used in the doors and rear window.

The RS was further developed by Porsche in 1992 with the launch of the N/GT and a total of just 290 cars were made, all in left-hand drive. These cars were further stripped-out with all the carpets removed and replaced with plywood foot-boards for the driver. A fully welded cage was fitted, and the standard RS seats were replaced with Nomex covered FIA specification racing buckets. The N/GT also featured a long-range fuel tank, dual internal fire extinguishers, internal dash mounted engine cut-off, and the DME was relocated behind the driver to allow the use of six-point harnesses. Harder and more track focused, the result is a car which feels more direct and visceral than the standard RS whilst still being usable on the road.

This particular Porsche 964 RS N/GT was supplied new to its first owner in Germany in 1992. Originally finished in Ferrari Yellow the interior is option code 003 meaning a full welded in roll cage, bucket seats, harnesses and twin fire-extinguishers in the passenger foot-well. Our vendor, a serial Porsche owner - especially anything "RS' badged, bought this car in Germany in 2003 and drove it back to the UK and registered it, obtaining a V5C. During his ownership, the car has featured in various magazines and has been used minimally and professionally stored.

In 2016, the Porsche was the recipient of a full body respray and was also treated to an engine rebuild, photographically documented, in the capable hands of well-respected engine builders, Mass Racing. A 'Letter of Origin' from Porsche confirms that the car is matching numbers, and it's supplied with a UK V5c and its old German "Fahrzeugbrief', along with an MoT valid until 15th May '19.

Rarely do these cars come to market, and now showing just over 66,500km on the odometer, equivalent to 40,390 miles, with only 290 N/GTs being produced, and with the surge in RS values showing little sign of abating, this interesting Porsche could well represent a wise investment.
