Only 2,276 units of the Porsche 911 Carrera RS were ever built, which makes finding a well care-for example in an interesting colour a particularly lengthy and challenging undertaking. Luckily, you don’t have to spend the whole year searching, because we’ve found a car that ticks all the boxes: check out this gorgeous 1992 Carrera RS!
Arguably the sweet spot of the entire air-cooled 911 catalogue, the Carrera RS boasts a blue-printed M64/03 air-cooled flat six capable of 260 horsepower, but its more potent engine was just the start. UK and Touring spec cars retained their hydraulically-assisted steering, but the rest utilised a manual rack for greater precision and feel, while a single-mass lightweight flywheel, lowered and stiffened suspension, thinner glass, and the deletion of heavy luxury items like rear seats, AC, and sound system added to the RS’s hardcore credentials.
It’s the perfect antidote to the overly-complex and rather portly sports cars on the market today, especially in this example’s breathtaking hue of Amethyst. Delivered new to Porsche Stuttgart, this Carrera RS made its way to the British Isles in 1997, and by 1999 RUF UK had installed a MPH speedometer. This 964 was used fairly regularly until 8 years ago, when it was put into storage, only reemerging for the annual service and MOT test. Currently showing a healthy 124,604 km on the odometer, this Carrera RS is a prime specimen of the breed, having been enjoyed and fastidiously maintained throughout its lifetime. Now you could be the next custodian of this Amethyst beauty, just get in touch with Cottingham Blue Chip London!
