964 rs america

-

Marketed as a lightweigh­t, limited edition of the regular 964 Carrera, the RSA was built by Porsche to appease Us-based customers who were denied the company’s bona fide 964 Rennsport due to crash test and emissions breaches. Narrow-bodied but with running gear from the 964 3.3 Turbo, the 964 RSA is identifiab­le thanks to its whale-tail rear wing and came with just four options: a limited-slip differenti­al, a cassette stereo, air conditioni­ng and an electric-operated sunroof. In reality the 964 RSA is a basic-equipment 964 Carrera, but in an age where less is more – and with the 964 having enjoyed a spike in values over the last five years – the RSA has itself benefitted from a resurgence in popularity.

Collectors may like the fact just 701 examples were built, but pretty well all of them have been driven hard at track days and in competitiv­e club events all over the States. Due diligence is definitely needed here, but if you’re after a basic 964 that boasted limited production, look no further than the RS America.

Why you Should buy Rare 964 equivalent of Porsche’s 991.2 Carrera T.

WATCH out for Crash damage and poor repairs – these cars were used heavily on track. Price now $80,000+
