1992 Porsche 911 (964) Carrera RS Touring

Based on the original 'Carrera Cup' 911 race car, Porsche introduced the now legendary and super lightweight 'Carrera RS' in 1992 to great avail. The specially constructed 3.6-litre engine gave 264bhp and was matched to a G50 close ratio gearbox with steel synchromesh and a limited slip differential as standard. Following the original 2.7 RS theme of the 1970's, the stripped out interior was devoid of rear seats, electric windows, air conditioning, all sound deadening and a stereo system. The chassis was seam welded and the front bonnet was made of aluminium which, when combined with thinner glass, magnesium wheels, lowered and uprated suspension, Turbo front brakes and recalibrated AB made for a very high performance and specialised car indeed.

This rare left hand drive RS 'Touring' (one of only 74 Touring spec cars built by the factory) was built in 1992 for the Italian market and has since covered 88,500kms, the equivalent of 55,000 miles. Copies of documented receipts and invoices for servicing work totaling 13 in all from 1999 to 2008 and granted by both mainland Europe and UK specialists accompany this amazing Porsche, as does its original leather book pack and manuals, but the service book has been mislaid. A replacement service book accompanies the car.

Within the past two years this car has been repainted in its original Signal Red and benefits from 4 new Bridgestone tyres which have likely travelled fewer than 5000kms. It further boasts its original magnesium wheels and original aluminium bonnet with a factory sticker to the underside. The grey and black sports seats and interior trim including the dashboard are very original and largely unmarked.

It is now sold as a breathtaking piece of Porsche history and is ready for use. With the appetite for classic Porsche growing daily, we feel this car represents a rare and appreciating opportunity in the today's market place.
