One of the most pre-eminent pieces of advice for any racing team looking to add performance is to make a vehicle as light as possible. Porsche has long invested in this mindset, having released numerous examples of special, lightweight variants of their cars. Unfortunately, due to differing emissions and safety standards, the US market tended to get left out of the most extreme models. The 964-generation 911 Carrera RS was no different. In an effort to appease American buyers, the company produced the 911 RS America, a special edition released only in the USA.

While the European RS offered special engine and transmission tuning, the RS America stuck with the 964 Carrera 2’s 250hp and standard transmission gearing. However, the car featured the M030 sport suspension and eschewed roughly 70-90 pounds of equipment including power steering, air conditioning (an option), a sunroof (also optional), rear-seats, the power spoiler (swapped for a fixed “whale-tail” exclusive to the model) and reduced sound deadening. The result was a car that, while not as hardcore as the European model, rewarded its driver with neutral handling and brisk acceleration. While the RS America was actually sold at a discount to the regular model, the low production and focused performance have made it quite desirable to enthusiasts and investors alike – and is, therefore, a superb choice for any portfolio.
