Every so often, Porsche creates a short production run of cars that celebrates the attributes of one of their special models. In 1993, the Stuttgart engineers decided to develop a race version of their 911 Type 964 Carrera RS, aptly named the Carrera RSR 3.8, and aimed it squarely at the race track.
With the 1993 Carrera 2 as the starting point, Porsche had to make at least 50 roadgoing cars in order to qualify this new model for the Carrera ADAC GT Cup, which served as the basis for a motor racing variant to come, the Carrera RSR 3.8. The RSR 3.8 was nothing short of an all-out race car that could be delivered to the track in a ‘just add driver’ form.
With its estimated horsepower reaching up to 375 from its 3.8-liter M64/04 engine, the RSR showcased exhilarating performance, boasting a remarkable 0-60mph time of 3.7 seconds and impressive braking capabilities.
The Porsche Carrera RSR 3.8 racked up a catalogue of impressive international race results right from the outset, winning overall at the Spa 24 Hours, Suzuka 1000km, and the 24 Hours of Interlagos. There was also a class victory in the 1993 Le Mans, a 1-2-3-4 class sweep at the Daytona 24 Hours (Le Mans GT-2 class), and another class victory at Sebring
Merit Partners is proud to offer this extraordinary 1993 3.8 RSR for sale finished in Guards Red with a black interior. Only 55 road-going RS 3.8 models and 51 examples of the Carrera RSR 3.8 were produced, making this car an exceedingly rare find, especially if you consider the fact that this is only one of two examples painted Guards Red.
Originally delivered to Walter Scheuermann of Memmingen, Germany, this RSR remained unused for competition, later finding its way to Garage Le Mans in Osaka, Japan, before being brought to the United States in 2013 by David Mohlman.
This Guards Red beauty, with only 21 miles, is possibly the lowest mileage RSR in existence, making it a coveted investment for enthusiasts seeking the epitome of 964 platform purity and performance.
