although on other earlier models porsche always tried to derive the model differentiation code from the word
P O R S C H E,
for example RS or SC or S, (from the middle of the word)
the S before was used for Super and other times for Sport,
on the 993, I was told in germany it meant the word "Speziell" for special series, for it was the only model without a power improvement difference between S and carrera, thus S not for Super or Sport

According to Peter Morgan's book, "SC" stood for "Super Carrera".

with the 911, they changed the term to mean "Sport." When they began building the 911T (touring), 911L (Luxo) and 911S (sport).
When it came out, the RS did stand for Renn Sport
RSR was the "race" version of the "Renn Sport."

S = "Superfantastic - Thanks for asking...."
(Check South Park, Season 1 if you need to know how this is supposed to be said.)
