The RS America was a lightweight derivative of the contemporary Carrera 2 and is distinguished from the base car by a revised fixed rear spoiler as well as RS scripts on the rear deck lid and quarter panels. This example is finished in Guards Red and features a power sunroof, manually adjustable aero mirrors, and fog lights. The selling dealer notes cracks in the taillight lenses and dents in the rear deck lid.
The 17″ Cup wheels are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport tires measuring 205/50 up front and 255/40 out back that show date codes from 2011. Braking is handled by four-wheel ventilated and cross-drilled discs. The factory M030 sport suspension features a larger-diameter front stabilizer bar and upgraded shock absorbers shared with the 911 Turbo.
The cabin features power height-adjustable front sport seats trimmed in black cloth along with a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Amenities include air conditioning, a Becker Porsche CR-1 cassette stereo, and red door pull straps and seatbelts. RS Americas were also equipped with a luggage shelf and enclosed storage compartments in place of the rear seats. The left door pull is worn and the selling dealer notes weak front trunk lid struts and that the amplifier requires replacement.
The four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a central tachometer with a 6,800-rpm redline as well as a 180-mph speedometer and gauges for oil pressure, oil temperature, oil level, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 40k miles, approximately 200 of which were added during current ownership. The Carfax report shows that a Not Actual Mileage title was issued by the state of New Jersey in September 2000, and total mileage is unknown.
The 3.6-liter flat-six was factory rated at 247 horsepower and 228 lb-ft of torque. The selling dealer reports that the engine was removed and the clutch components, flywheel, and air-conditioning system belt were replaced in 2023.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a G50 five-speed manual transaxle and an optional limited-slip differential.
