This 993 stopped me in my tracks.... Amazing. Canepa really does do exceptional work.
Yes he does! Be reminded Bruce Canepa bought almost all the 993 Motorsport parts in early 2000 when the 993 platform switched to 996, a 993 RSR or 993 Cup is an easy build for him. Now days if you need an RSR ribbed fan belt you have to buy it from him with a premium.
What do you call it then...6-pt metal tube decoration?
Don't worry , he's only winding you up. Of coarse it's a cage as it's all encompassing, its just a bit half way / for show. People like Safety Devices sell plenty of classic cages without door bars or front cross bars and you can get Technical Certificates from the MSA. It's just that these things are fitted to "help" but really don't do very much for overall stiffness or safety ...... I'm kind of surprised there's no obvious facility for adding removable door bars which would be a vast improvement.
If you translate the first and other option on the Heigo 'cage' ( ) you will see that they offer removable side protection / door bars
But not on a Cup or RSR cage
It is possible that they cut up a Cup/RSR cage, the angles on the various pieces do look correct , if so they alo repositioned the knee bar further forward so that it is hidden behind the lower dash street trim

of course not for race cars.
any type of removable bolt in systems would not pass scrutineering.
These are still for more hobby racer track cars, slalom, local autocross etc ...
not a real RSR, but the intake and catch can and blt drive looks to be oe 964 3.8RS or possibly 964/993 RSR, most likely tuned for street use( no roll bar or cage) still has cam driven p/s pump but no A/C
This was my favorite car at Rennsport. Some questions in case anybody has insider knowledge:
is this a real RSR?
is it intended to be streetable?
did anybody get a good picture of the tachometer (I’m curious what the redline is)?
Per Bruce Canepa… yes, it is a real RSR that was never tracked. As one commentator correctly observed, the factory cage has been cut to make getting in and out of the car easier. It is intended to be street legal.
The seats have also been slightly modified by making them a little bit wider.
I didn’t take any interior photos and did not note the red line.
Per someone else’s question, the color is Continental Orange.
