Porsche 964 Carrera RS America

Porsche hoped to revive sales on the American market with the “America Roadster”, a Carrera 2 convertible in a turbo look with a slimmed-down range of standard equipment.
The first 911 RS America came to the USA in April 1992, but were already assigned to the 1993 model year.
The vehicle was offered $10,000 cheaper than the 911 Carrera 2 Coupé.
The “RS America” only had 4 selectable (and surchargeable) options: air conditioning, radio, electric sunroof and a limited-slip differential. The most striking feature of the “RS America” was the fixed rear spoiler, as was still known from the 911 Carrera 3.2.
The ventilation grilles on the 964 were not black.
In addition, there was the sports suspension (M030) with the tighter turbo springs on the rear axle, the turbo shock absorbers at the front and rear and a thicker front stabilizer bar (22 instead of 20 mm diameter).
In addition, wider 17-inch wheels (M040) were mounted on 7-inch-wide rims at the front and 8-inch-wide rims at the rear. The power steering was also omitted, as were the rear seats.
The front hood was also made of sheet steel and not aluminum like the German RS.
The exterior mirrors had to be adjusted manually.
The savings compared to the curb weight of the German series version of the Carrera 2 amounted to only around ten kilograms and was therefore 1340 kg. The driving performance was also at its level.
Porsche reduced the range to five colors.
The RS America was available in red, black, white, silver metallic and midnight blue metallic. Overall Porsche sold
701 vehicles in the 1993 and 1994 model years. The 964 RS America is also a sought-after rarity on the German market.

One of the greatest rarities from the Porsche 964 model series came onto the market in 1993.
As the 964 RS had sold very well in Europe, the Americans were not to go empty-handed either.
Porsche remembered that the twentieth birthday of the 911 Carrera RS from 1973 was approaching and also offered an RS for the US market.
To distinguish it from the 964 Carrera RS for the European market, it was given the suffix “RS America”.
It was a special series based on the Carrera 2 Coupé, because the Carrera RS could not be registered in America.
Porsche hopes to stimulate sales on the American market with the “America Roadster”, a Carrera 2 cabriolet in turbo look with reduced standard equipment.
The first 911 RS America arrived in the USA in April 1992, but was already attributed to the 1993 model year.
The vehicle was offered $10,000 cheaper than the 911 Carrera 2 Coupé.
The “RS America” had only 4 selectable (and surchargeable) options: Air conditioning, radio, electric sunroof and a limited slip differential. The most striking feature of the “RS America” was the fixed rear spoiler, as it was still known from the 911 Carrera 3.2.
The ventilation grilles, however, were not set off in black on the 964.
In addition, there was the sports suspension (M030) with firmer turbo springs on the rear axle, turbo shock absorbers at the front and rear and a thicker front anti-roll bar (22 instead of 20 mm in diameter).
In addition, wider 17-inch wheels (M040) were mounted on 7-inch wide rims at the front and 8-inch wide rims at the rear, and the power steering was also omitted, as were rear seats.
The front bonnet was also made of sheet steel and not aluminum as on the German RS.
The exterior mirrors had to be adjusted manually.
The savings compared to the notch weight of the German series version of the Carrera 2 amounted to only about ten kilograms and was thus 1340 kg. This meant that the driving performance was also on a par with it.
Porsche reduced the range to five colors.
The RS America was available in red, black, white, silver metallic and night blue metallic.
Porsche sold a total of 701 vehicles in the model years 1993 and 1994. The 964 RS America is also a sought-after rarity on the German market.
