The RS America was a lightweight derivative of the contemporary Carrera 2 and is distinguished from the base car by a revised fixed rear spoiler as well as RS scripts on the rear deck lid and quarter panels. This example is finished in Guards Red (G1) and is believed to have been repainted under previous ownership. Exterior details include integrated front fog lights and manually-adjustable aero mirrors. Work performed under previous ownership included replacing the headlights as well as repainting the mirror caps. Paint chips are visible on the front bumper cover.
Silver-finished 17″ Cup wheels are mounted with 205/50 front and 255/40 rear BFGoodrich g-Force tires. Braking is handled by red-finished Porsche-branded calipers over cross-drilled discs at all four corners, and an aftermarket front strut tower brace is fitted. Service under current ownership included installing Bilstein PSS10 coilovers and performing a brake fluid flush.
The cabin features power height-adjustable sport seats trimmed in black cloth, along with contrasting red seatbelts and door pull straps. Appointments include air conditioning, a Sony stereo, BLAM door speakers, RS-branded rear speaker covers, and power windows and door locks. RS Americas were also equipped with a luggage shelf and enclosed storage compartments in place of the rear seats. The seller states that a window switch and regulator were replaced under current ownership.
The leather-wrapped OMP steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation including a central tachometer with a 6,700-rpm redline as well as a 180-mph speedometer and gauges for oil pressure, oil temperature, oil level, and fuel level. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows 67k miles, approximately 250 of which were added under current ownership. The removed factory steering wheel is included in the sale.
The 3.6-liter flat-six was factory rated at 247 horsepower and 228 lb-ft of torque. The fuel filter and spark plugs were replaced under previous ownership, and an oil change was performed under current ownership.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle. An aftermarket exhaust system is fitted.
