In 1995, Porsche introduced what would be the most powerful naturally aspirated 993 ever produced, a race-inspired 911 with handling to match the raw power: the Porsche 993 Carrera RS.

Armed with an upgraded 300 horsepower 3.8 liter flat six mated to a 6-speed close ratio manual transmission, the Carrera RS was equipped with track-oriented suspension. Using the wide body from a 993 Turbo to accommodate the wide 18" wheels (18x8” front / 18x10” rear), the car was an instant hit and driver's delight. Limited to 1,014 examples worldwide and never offered to the U.S. for sale, the 993 Carrera RSs are now a collector's delight and are the last air-cooled Carrera RS’s.

This 993 Carrera RS, finished in Speed Yellow, was completed on July 20th, 1995. The car was optioned with equipment for Japan; a high amperage battery, air conditioning, Becker cassette radio, 75-litre fuel tank, power steering, and electric windows. Tracing records back, this 993 RS was delivered new to Porsche Mizwa of Japan in 1995. Japanese service records date all the way to 2015, where the car was meticulously maintained and serviced for 20 years.

The car would then make its way to its home country of Germany, where it was purchased in early 2016 by TJS German Motor Cars residing in Gildeweg, Germany. The car would receive service by Porsche Brooklands Surrey in May of 2016, receiving preventative maintenance including new brake pads, brake fluid and oil change, as well as a visual inspection to make sure everything was in proper and working order.

The car only lived in its home country of Germany for a little over a year, eventually finding its way to the United States in late 2017. The car was purchased by Nelson Calle where he welcomed this 993-RS to the states for the very first time. The car was kept in his small private collection for a number of years. It received a major service at the end of 2019 and an additional maintenance service in August of 2021. From 2019 to 2024 the car has only been driven 294 miles (475km).

Owning the 1995 Porsche 993 Carrera RS is not just about possessing a car; it's embracing a legacy of precision, power, and unparalleled driving pleasure. With its limited production, top-tier specifications, and iconic design, the Carrera RS stands as a beacon of Porsche's commitment to creating timeless automotive masterpieces.

The 993 Carrera RS was much improved over and quite different from its predecessor, the 964 Carrera RS. According to Porsche, every part of the car was designed from the ground up, including the engine, and only 20% of its parts were carried over from the previous generation. These updates, such as its new light-alloy subframe and multi-link Weissach axel, fixed the previous lift-off oversteer. All of these improvements led to a more civilized car overall and provided an improved driving experience.

Not only did Porsche avoid carrying over most of the parts from the previous generation, but for the Carrera RS they aggressively cut weight to create a vehicle that comes in at a mere 2,800lbs. By removing anything that was deemed “unnecessary”, all the way down to the headlight washers, Porsche was able to shave off over 220lbs to the final curb weight.

Upon arrival at Canepa, every collector car for sale is put through an extensive and diligent process called the “Canepa Difference.” This includes a major and comprehensive mechanical inspection where all systems are checked, serviced, and restored as needed. They also receive award-winning Concours-level detailing, including a thorough cleaning of each and every surface.
