1996 Porsche 993 Carrera 3.8 RS

Merit Partners is pleased to present this 993 Carrera RS in speed yellow over black. This 993 Carrera RS is a car we had always wanted to drive at Merit with the visceral nature on the 993 chassis. This particular car is a three owner car originating in Japan. The second owner flew to Japan, inspected the car and imported it to the US in 2016. The third owner purchased the car in November of 2018 which is who we acquired the car from. The car is all stock and completely original which is hard to find as many of these examples were either modified or raced. All numbers are matching including the – engine, transmission and chassis. The car is in excellent condition on both exterior and interior surfaces.  The car runs well, the compression and leak down are very good. Compression is 230-240 across the board, leak down is 0%, a tight motor. Candidly, the spark plugs and air filter will be the only thing in the future needing to be serviced. There have been no accidents on the car. The car is a very complete car with the “goody bag” including tool kit, 2 first aid kits, working gloves, a light kit, the pressure gauge, tire compressor, triangle, car cover. The car comes with lots of service documents from Japan, registration and a clean Montana title.

This RS is the rarest iteration- with over 1500 73 RS models, and 2000+ 964’s…the ~1000 993 RS‘s represent a unique slot with the precursor to the GT3RS’s formula: 3.8 liter, huge wing, big chin spoiler, and no apologies for a loud exhaust.

This car is also well known in the community on Rennlist by the two previous owners. With only 27,450 miles this car represents one of the best driver 993 Carrera RS’s on the market today.
