The Iconic & Classic Sales at Silverstone Festival 22nd-24th August 2025

181 + buyer’s premium of 12.5% plus VAT (15% incl VAT) Perhaps the most focused and fastest normally aspirated Porsche 911 produced by the factory to date is the 993 Carrera RS 3.8 and it is indeed a ‘wolf in wolf’s’ clothing. There is no hiding the car’s intent, which is to cover ground in a hurry. This extremely rare and desirable car was the ultimate evolution of Porsche’s Type 993 and in turn, it was a step up from the 964 RS. As Porsche historian Karl Ludvigsen wrote in his authoritative ‘Excellence Was Expected’, ‘the RS 3.8 was one of several models built to fulfil the company’s grass-roots commitment to GT racing.’ Along with the engine updates, an important component of this competition-oriented machine was to make it as light as possible. The RS was brought down to a svelte 1,280kgs by deleting such amenities as the headliner, electric windows, electric mirrors, central-locking, intermittent windscreen wipers, radio speakers, power-adjustable seats, a rear defroster, airbags and sound insulation. Removal of all these bits resulted in an effective weight loss of 100kgs. The 3.8 RS package added a number of performance features to the car, which included thinner window glass (reminiscent of that used on the famed 1973 RS 2.7), simplified interior lighting, an alloy front boot lid and doors, lightweight interior door cards, Recaro sports seats, a front strut brace, ball-joint front damper mounts and adjustable anti- roll bars with five positions for the 24mm front bar and three positions for the 21mm rear piece. There was also a limited-slip differential, an anti-lock system for the 993 Turbo brakes with red calipers, ABD traction control and bodywork, which included a large adjustable fiberglass Sport ‘Group 1’ rear wing with ram-air intakes in place of the modest fixed tail spoiler that came on the lesser RS. Its power is delivered through a Type G50/31 6-speed manual transmission, with its gearing optimised for acceleration rather than top speed. Immense 265/35ZR- 18R tyres in the rear and 225/40ZR-18 tyres in the front are mounted on specially made 18” ‘Speedline for Porsche’ three-piece, light-alloy wheels with magnesium centres, which are 9” wide in the front and 11” wide in the back. The car presented here is a 1995 Porsche 911 (993) Carrera RS (chassis #WP0ZZZ99ZTS390514) and is one of only 1,014 factory-built RS 3.8 examples, being delivered new to Japan. It benefits from being in arguably the best and most-Porsche colour for a 993 RS, Polar Silver Metallic, with the addition of the purposeful Aero Kit from an RS Clubsport, plus the fitment of the purposeful Recaro seats (a new OEM set of seats will accompany the car). The car came to the UK in 2023 having obviously been well looked after, its condition is wholly commensurate with the indicated 47,505km (29,518 miles) which our vendor believes to be accurate and is supported by a service history print out. Further evidence of dutiful ownership is present in the form of it being accompanied by its original Japanese owner’s manuals, two keys, a large collection of paperwork, including Japanese and UK service invoices and a couple of UK MOT Certificates. The car’s most recent servicing was done in May 2025 at 47,419km by classic Porsche specialist Canford Classics, which comprised of a full service, including new distributor caps and leads being fitted, all new brake discs, pads and sensors installed, the brake fluid changed, the transmission oil renewed, the front A-arms and drop links replaced and the shifter bushed being reset; plus four brand new Michelin Pilot 5 tyres were fitted. Previous services were carried out by Porsche Bournemouth in June 2016 at 47,409km and in December 2012 at an indicated 47,053km. This is a real opportunity to own a legendary modern day classic from the Stuttgart stable, a car conceived at a time when Porsche was at the top of their game, producing special, properly rare road cars to enable them to push boundaries on the track. Servicing history summary can be viewed on our website. The 993 RS was undoubtedly Stuttgart’s most pure and refined form of the final generation air-cooled 911.
