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 black and features fog lights, a power sunroof, manually-adjustable aero mirrors, a Ruf front splitter, ZL1 Addons splitter guards, and fog lights. The taillights and central rear reflector were replaced in 2022. The Carfax report notes a damage report in February 1993. The seller reports the hood was repainted under previous ownership.
Silver-finished 17″ Cup wheels wear RS center caps and are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport tires measuring 205/50 up front and 255/40 at the rear. Braking is handled by four-wheel ventilated and cross-drilled discs. The factory M030 sport suspension features a larger-diameter front stabilizer bar and upgraded shock absorbers shared with the 911 Turbo. The front and rear shocks, shock mounts, and brake lines were replaced, H&R springs were installed, and the brake fluid was flushed under current ownership.
The cabin features power height-adjustable front seats trimmed in black cloth along with a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Amenities include air conditioning, embroidered floor mats, a Continental Automotive Bluetooth radio, 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 seller states that the driver’s window switch was replaced and the air conditioning was recharged in 2021.
The four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames 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 odometer shows 48k miles, approximately 4k of which were added during current ownership. The odometer gear was replaced in 2021. True mileage is unknown.
The 3.6-liter flat-six was factory rated at 247 horsepower and 228 lb-ft of torque. Service under current ownership is said to have included a valve adjustment and oil change as well as the replacement of the following:
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a G50 five-speed manual transaxle and an optional limited-slip differential. The gear shift rod and bushings were reportedly replaced under current ownership.
The window sticker shows initial delivery to Spartan Motors and lists factory colors, equipment, and a total price of $61,037.
