Details
​
A rapidly appreciating classic, the 993 Carrera RS is a lightweight variant of the standard 993 shaving some 100kg off the kerb weight. It features a naturally aspirated 3.8 liter engine with 300 hp. On the outside it is easily distinguishable by a special non-retractable rear wing, small front flaps and 3-piece 18-inch aluminum wheels. Inside the rear seats were removed, and special racing seats and spartan door cards were installed. Sound proofing was also reduced to a minimum. The suspension is also lower by 30mm front and 40mm rear and stiffer than the standard car.
​
This particular car started life in France and was brought to the UK in 1999. It is finished in Speed Yellow with a black leather interior and fitted with the following options:
-
Fixed back bucket seats
-

-
Porsche Cup steering wheel
-
Manual window winders
-
No A/C
-

​
This particular vehicle was delivered new on the 18th August 1996 via Porsche Velizy in France and is one of only 1,014 factory-built RS 3.8s. Around 1997, at only a year or so old, the car was re-shelled with a genuine (numbers-correct) Porsche AG-supplied 993 RS shell (given the special nature and expense of these homologation road cars, a re-shell might have been a necessity even if something heavy fell on the roof or bonnet). Given the newness, prestige and high value of the car in 1997, the re-shell would have been done via a Porsche-approved accredited body shop (most probably its supplying French Porsche dealership - but due to GDRP issues we are not able to confirm this). A UK Porsche specialist and Porsche GB have checked the body number stamped in new shell (under the rear shelf) and they have confirmed that it is a correct Porsche AG factory-supplied 993 RS shell from 1997 - the body number stamped is 0470002 - original shells start with a '1' rather than '0' which denotes a factory-supplied shell after production, the 4 denotes an RS shell and the 7 is for 1997 production of the shell. The car retained its original engine/gearbox and is still in standard factory specification. In 2015 the car was treated to a £15k paint refresh and full cosmetic detailing by Fast Lane of St Albans (Porsche-approved body shop) due to minor stone chips - a full photographic diary of this accompanies the car's history (over 100 photos of before, during and after)
​
The car has been in our storage facility for the last few years and has been periodically run to temperature - it will be fully serviced prior to sale.
