PORSCHE911 Carrera RS (964) 1993 - 1994

　　In 1993 there were not too many car-makers that could offer a race-ready street vehicle. Though, Porsche launched the Carrera RS for those who were heading to the race-track at the weekends.

　　Based on the regular Porsche 911 – 964 model, the Carrera RS featured the same shape but with different materials. The trunk hood was made out of aluminum. All the sound-deadening materials were removed and the car was stripped down to its essence. A special set of magnesium wheels was installed.

　　Inside, there was no power-window or power seats. There was no seat in the back either. On some special editions, the car was fitted with a roll-cage and the interior was stripped to the metal. To reinforce the bodywork, the car featured a seam welding technique, that stiffened the bodywork. The only option was a radio and an ashtray.

　　The air-cooled engine in the back was a 3.6-liter flat-six unit that offered 260 hp. The engine was heavily based on the GT1 racer unit, with a single chain-driven overhead camshaft and only two valves per cylinder and featured a dry-sump lubrication system, which avoids oil starvation issues on extreme G-force conditions. The Carrera RS was fitted with a 5-speed gearbox and a lighter flywheel. To help the exit speed from the corner, a limited-slip differential was fitted as standard.
