Carrera RS
 

I found well cruising the internet at work today.

As usual no affiliation or any of that: for that matter no means to purchase either...

Enjoy,

That seller must be dreaming of they think they will get that......surley?
I'm doubeling the Euro though, but still.
Nice car but too expensive I reckon.

Nice car. Its probably too valuable and too uncivil for street use. What caught my eye was that lovely open engine bay. Its the mechanic in me. :D

Perhaps the RS's are more collectible than you think? However 100K should be ok.. I wont tell you the price I sold mine... regrettably too low.

The 993 RS is the best air cooled Porsche technology. Hence the premium.

This is the way it is:thumbsup:

The problem with that price is if I had the money I would buy it and drive it. WTF fun is it to buy it and look at it in the garage?

Graham,

RS's over here - are getting between $250 and $300K AU (and as we are almost parity (94c) its really really expensive in US pesos....

Simon.

What's with the airbag steering wheel?

Not only that but stereo, AC, heat and ride hight.

That car is very nice, wish it was in my garage.

I looked at all the 993 on that website. Overall asking prices seem to higher here in Germany. I figure my 993 is worth about $30,000 in the states and 30,000 Euro in Germany.

If I didn't like it so much I would sell her before I leave here. It is very tempting to sell her and pick up at C4S when I get back.

I have lived here for about 10 months now, if I was really smart I would have picked up a long hood and brought it over and sold it.

I was gonna say no heater bypass, but thought maybe climate and stereo were optional. Didn't even notice the ride height.

Climate, stereo, steering wheel and even the sunroof were options in 993 RS.

Gladly they were not sold in US, because if they were, half of the RSs would have a friggin' sunroof.

Matt777, don't worry about the RS being too uncivil for use on the road, I used my previous RS as a daily driver for a few years..No problem at all.

I often hear the legend of a sunroof option fitted in an RS and no doubt on the factory exclisives/special wishes program it was possible.
Despite this, having been an RS fan for quite a few years and seen more than a few examples in the metal and more on the net......I have never seen an RS with correct chassis vin and a sunroof actually fitted.

I would love to see a photo of roof and matching vin, if anyone has seen such a beast, more chance of seeing a unicorn?

^^^^I was lucky enough to see roughly 25 993RS' at the end of 95, 2 at a dealer in London, 3 in France, and 5 at various locations in Germany. Plus a dozen or so RS/CS cars at the factory. None had a sunroof, two had airbags. I've heard that cars sold in Japan were equipped more like a regular 993, some even having rear seats! NEVER seen any evidence though.

Exactly Tim,,,The legend lives on!

My previous RS was a comfort, fitted with airbags, electric windows and a/c, it still had the necessary Recaro buckets though, rather than the no cost option Comfort non electric recliners.

I understand that at some point in the mid '90s, there were tax breaks on new cars to medical professionals in Germany,,,hence quite a few RS were specced with more of the comfort accesories, these cars have since become known as German Dentist Spec RS.

I know of 2 RS with the rear seats, but nearly 15 years on, it is unclear if these were factory or dealer fitted, as it would not be difficult to get the parts from a C2/4.

No worries here....I's not like I'm in the market for an RS (right now) :)
