1996 Porsche 911 Coupe

Porsche increased the displacement of the Carrera's 3.6-liter Type M64 engine to 3.8 liters while reducing the internal components. The engine developed 300 horsepower and was used for the Cup and RSR models that were used in international GT racing competition. Porsche built a road-going version called the Carrera RS to homologate these models for racing and were the most powerful normally aspirated 993 and the last air-cooled 911 to wear the Rennsport (RS) moniker.

With nearly 200 pounds removed from the production 993, the Carrera RS provided a higher level of performance than its siblings. It used a strengthened body shell, lightweight-aluminum opening panels, thinner glass, and an adjustable suspension. It had a revised traction-control system, Turbo brakes, large-capacity oil coolers, and a limited-slip differential.

This particular Speed Yellow Carrera RS was completed on July 20th of 1995. It was a Germany-delivery example that came with air-conditioning, power windows, sport seats, higher amperage battery, Blaupunkt Düsseldorf radio, and the standard front and rear spoiler package.

This car's original owner was Helmut Boczkowski who acquired it through Porsche Zentrum Giessen. Mr. Boczkowski custom-ordered the car with body-colored wheels. Mr. Boczkowski took delivery of the car in August of 1996. The car remained in Germany under the care of only two owners until 2008, when it was brought to the United States with fewer than 23,000 kilometers recorded.

This car is powered by a 3,746cc Type M64/20 single overhead camshaft flat 6-cylinder engine with a Bosch Multi-Point fuel injection delivering nearly 300 horsepower at 6,500 RPM. There is a six-speed manual transaxle and ventilated cross-drilled disc brakes.
