The 1995 Porsche 993 Carrera RS stands as a pinnacle in the lineage of Porsche’s iconic 911 series, celebrated as the “Last and Best Carrera RS from Porsche’s Air-Cooled Era.” This particular model, with only 14,510 original miles (23,402 km), is an exceptionally well-preserved example, showcasing the epitome of Porsche engineering and design from the mid-90s.
Under the hood, this 993 Carrera RS is powered by a robust 3.8-liter air-cooled flat-six engine, delivering an impressive 300 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a 6-speed close-ratio manual transmission, this setup promises an exhilarating driving experience. The vehicle’s track-oriented suspension, combined with its wide body—borrowed from the 993 Turbo to fit the substantial 18-inch Carrera RS wheels—ensures exceptional handling and stability.
The car’s rarity and desirability are heightened by its limited production run of just 1,014 units worldwide. Notably, this model was never officially offered for sale in the United States, making it a coveted treasure among collectors. The Speed Yellow exterior, paired with distinctive features like the Carrera RS Club Sport rear spoiler, limited-slip differential, bucket seats, and 18-inch wheels, further accentuates its allure.
Originally completed on July 20, 1995, this 993 Carrera RS was tailored for the Japanese market, equipped with features such as a high-amperage battery, air conditioning, a Becker cassette radio, a 75-liter fuel tank, power steering, and electric windows. Delivered new to Porsche Mizwa in Japan, the car remained meticulously maintained there for 20 years, with service records dating up to 2015.
In early 2016, the car returned to Germany, where TJS German Motor Cars in Gildeweg took ownership. It underwent preventative maintenance by Porsche Brooklands Surrey in May 2016, including new brake pads, brake fluid, and an oil change. Later, in late 2017, the car made its way to the United States, acquired by Nelson Calle and added to his private collection. Despite minimal use—only 294 miles (475 km) driven from 2019 to 2024—the car received a major service in 2019 and additional maintenance in 2021.
This Porsche for sale represents more than just a high-performance vehicle; it embodies a legacy of precision engineering, unparalleled driving pleasure, and timeless design. Owning this car means joining an exclusive group of enthusiasts who appreciate the artistry and thrill of one of Porsche’s finest creations. With its limited production, top-tier specifications, and iconic status, the Carrera RS remains a beacon of automotive excellence, cherished by collectors worldwide.
