The new Porsche 911 Carrera RS is the long-awaited version for track enthusiasts who are looking for and expecting a legitimate successor to the fantastic Carrera “RS 92”. The 993 generation hides more advanced technology and loses a little of that raw, cast-iron feel that characterised the old 911s. The new RS is less radical and demanding, although it is stripped back to the essentials. It is available in standard or Clubsport version. The brakes come from the 911 Turbo, its large rear wing and the rigid, flat front spoiler improve downforce, while the aluminium bonnet reduces weight. The 18-inch wheels of the 964 Turbo 3.6, taken from the Cup, are back on board, with a lower suspension and (optionally in France) with “Carrera RS” side stripes on the side skirts. The specific “Carrera RS” logo completes the visual signature on the rear engine lid. The Club Sport option includes a larger, adjustable wing, a double-plane wing and a roll bar in the cabin. The rear seat disappears in favour of front bucket seats with harnesses and a fire extinguisher. Power steering remains standard on the 993 RS, and the airbag is available as an option.
