Porsche's 964 line up was further enhanced in August 1991 with the arrival of a rear-drive-only Carrera RS. Having debuted that March at the Geneva Salon, the RS was a homologation special designed to qualify the 964 for racing. Continuing a legacy started by the 2.7-litre RS of 1972, many of the features seen on this latest variant had already been developed on the Carrera Cup racers. For starters they were equipped with stiffer springs and dampers, extra cross-bracing and thicker anti-roll bars (adjustable at the rear).


The brakes were also upgraded, now Turbo-spec items with re-tuned ABS. Wider 17-inch Cup Design magnesium wheels were shod with low profile rubber. Porsche installed a more powerful version of the 3.6-litre engine on solid rubber mounts, these Typ M64/03 units getting re-mapped engine management and a lighter flywheel. An extra 10bhp was the result, 260bhp being developed at 6100rpm. On the face of it, this wasn't a massive gain, but when combined with an overall weight reduction of 175kg, the RS was substantially quicker than the regular Carrera 2 Coupe. Top speed was up from 158 to 162mph, 0-60 shrinking from 5.8 to just 5.4 seconds. Outside, all four wheelarches were subtly flared to accommodate the wider wheels and tyres, ride-height having been dropped by 40mm. Manually-adjustable teardrop exterior mirrors were also fitted along with a lightweight aluminium front lid and rear bumper. The body shell was seam-welded for extra rigidity. Inside, most of the luxurious fittings found in the regular Carrera's had been junked, RS customers having got the basic Sport specification as standard. This saw the normal seats, glass, electric windows, door trim, sound insulation, central locking and alarm discarded. In their place, Porsche installed a pair of fire-proof Recaro bucket seats, thin carpet trim and fabric looped door pulls. Thanks to QV500.com
