Sackey & Co. is proud to present this stunning 1993 Porsche 911 RS America finished in factory Guards Red over the RS America-specific black cloth interior, showing just 38,745 miles from new.

The RS America (RS for ‘Rennsport’ or ‘Racing Sport’) was introduced in 1993 to the North American market as a 911 geared towards Porsche purists. Based on the 964 generation of Porsche 911s (the last to carry the original body style), yet stripped of nonessential weight and given significant performance upgrades, Porsche touted the RS America as the vehicle of choice for drivers who valued feedback and feel above all.

Buyer anticipation at the time exceeded Porsche’s projections: greater customer orders than expected pushed production of the planned 1993 exclusive into the 1994 model year, leading to an eventual 701 vehicles built. Upgrades from the standard 964 included a manual steering rack and M030 sport suspension, 17-in C2 Turbo wheels and the iconic fixed whale tail. Only four options were offered: locking limited-slip differential, stereo, A/C, and electric sunroof. Upon release the car was hailed by motoring critics, who especially praised its handling characteristics, as well as its impressive 4.6 second 0-60 time and top speed of 157 mph. Said to capture the spirit of the original 911 performance legend, the ’73 Carrera RS, the RS America is celebrated as an increasingly collectible 911, with unmodified and low-mileage examples exceedingly rare today.

Said Fred Schwab, CEO of Porsche North America, at the car's introduction:

The car on offer here, WP0AB2964PS419341, was originally owned by a woman located in the San Diego area who retained the car for over 16 years until 2009, followed by a brief ownership stint in Texas and return to California. CARFAX records indicate two more owners during this time, prior to current ownership. 9341 was built with the desirable attribute of all four options: locking limited-slip differential, stereo, A/C, and electric sunroof. Currently reading just 38,745 miles, few examples exist in similarly well preserved condition.

This RS America will be presented with a clean Montana LLC title, which is currently in processing.

Finished in factory Guards Red over the RS America-specific black cloth interior, this RS America is in exceptionally well preserved condition. The CARFAX report is clean (see gallery Miscellaneous section for full report).

The car is free of significant blemishes, with only a small nick on the rear left wheel.

The front bumper, hood, and front fenders were repainted under previous ownership to correct for stone chips. Upon the current owner’s purchase of the vehicle in 2018, paint metering of all metal body panels was conducted — the results indicated original paint on all panels other than the aforementioned areas.

Records included show maintenance invoices from 1994, 1997, 1999, 2006, 2009, 2011, 2016, 2017, and 2018.

Upon the current owner’s purchase of the vehicle in 2018, a full pre-purchase inspection was carried out by a Porsche specialist shop in Costa Mesa, California. The inspection showed no issues other than minor oil seepage from the engine, with the technician suggesting the replacement of various seals / gaskets to address. Upon his purchase, the current owner elected to have all suggested work completed, plus a new clutch installed while the engine was removed for the work.

During the 2018 pre-purchase inspection, a cylinder compression and leak down test was conducted, and the car passed with flying colors (see Miscellaneous section for full report).

The car’s only modifications consist of lowering springs and Blaupunkt door speakers. The original radio head unit has been removed and replaced with a block-off plate, which is easily reversible.

The tires currently fitted are the Michelin Pilot Sport with OEM sizing: 205/50-17, and 255/40-17, all installed in August 2017.

There are no known mechanical or functional issues outstanding.
