Description

Delivered new to Italy C07 inleft-hand drive and only 53,114km from newJust two owners in Italy and subsequently onein the UKBeautifully presented in gleaming Silver paintwork with black RS seatsServiced from new by Porsche main agents, 12 stamps in the original bookletOriginal book-pack with service book and manuals, spare keys and detailed history fileFinal 'curtain call' for the classic 911 bodyshell, assertive but not aggressive, a true drivers car and probably one of the best remaining examplesThe 911 Carrera RS 3.6 was introduced by Porsche in 1991and was developed specifically for the European market as a 'track-ready' lightweight version of the Carrera 2. Whilst the RS did not look substantially different from other top-end 911s, Porsche engineers utilised the simple and time-honoured motorsports philosophy of "reduce weight, add power" to produce the most dynamic 911 since the original Carrera RS in 1973. Porsche went to great lengths to lighten the 964RS by nearly 175 kilograms. Aluminium was used for the doors and bonnet, and thinner glass was used for the side and rear windows. Inside, Porsche disposed of the 911's usual luxuries, including its rear seats, power windows, electronically adjustable front seats, and front armrests. They also chose to forgo the power steering, resulting in greater steering interaction and feedback for the driver.Thanks to the use of a lightweight, single-mass, flywheel, the Carrera RS enjoyed a healthy boost in power, as well as making the 3.6-litre flat-six considerably more throttle-responsive than the standard unit in the Carrera 2. With its narrow body, and lack of a rear spoiler, the elegant and powerful type 964 is amongst the most sought-after modern non-turbocharged 911 variants.Offered here is a beautiful example of the 964 RS with virtually unmarked silver paintwork and black RS sports seats. Delivered new to itsfirst owner in Padova, Italy on 14th November 1991, this left-hand-drive964 RS would continue to be serviced mostly by the same Porsche main agent with 12 supporting service stamps in the original service book.
