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 decklid and quarter panels. This example is finished in Guards Red and features fog lights, a power sunroof, and a single exhaust outlet. According to the selling dealer, the wiper blades, the gas cap seal, and the turn signal and fog light trim were replaced in June 2021. Paint meter readings are provided in the photo gallery below.
The 17″ Cup wheels are mounted with 205/50 front and 255/40 rear Michelin Pilot Sport tires showing 2017 and 2018 date codes. Stopping power is reportedly handled by “Big Red” 964 Turbo brakes with cross-drilled rotors. The factory M030 sport suspension features a larger-diameter front stabilizer bar and upgraded shock absorbers shared with the 911 Turbo.
The cabin features front seats trimmed in black cloth along with a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpeting. Amenities include a Porsche Classic Communication Management system and door-mounted Focal speakers as well as red seat belts and door pull straps. RS Americas were also equipped with a luggage shelf and enclosed storage compartments in place of the rear seats. The front trunk drain plugs are missing, the trunk light has been disconnected intentionally, and a strut tower bar is fitted. The factory stereo speakers are reportedly included in the sale.
A leather-wrapped airbag steering wheel frames a central tachometer, a 180-mph speedometer, and a quartz clock alongside gauges for fuel level, oil level, oil temperature, and oil pressure. The six-digit odometer shows 36k miles, approximately 1k of which were added during current ownership.
The 3.6-liter flat-six was factory rated at 247 horsepower and 228 lb-ft of torque. A muffler bypass pipe is reportedly fitted, the engine undercover is missing, and a battery tender is said to be required to keep the battery charged.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a G50 five-speed manual transaxle and an optional limited-slip differential.
