Overview

Some cars don’t need exaggeration. The 993 Carrera RS is one of them.

Finished in Speed Yellow with RS Super Cup wheels, factory roll cage and bucket seats, this is a pure driver’s machine. No compromise, no excess, just engineering focused on feel, balance, and connection. Left-hand drive, perfectly suited for European roads, and showing just 17,700 km, this is an exceptional example with a strong 4.5 grade and B interior.

This is not just a 911. This is one of the most important air-cooled Porsches ever built.

Why the 993 RS Matters

The 993 Carrera RS is widely regarded as one of the greatest driver’s 911s ever produced.

It represents the final evolution of the air-cooled RS lineage. Lighter, sharper, and more focused than the standard Carrera, it was built with a clear purpose. Remove weight, sharpen response, and deliver a pure driving experience.

As Porsche themselves described it at the time, “The RS is the closest thing to a racing car for the road.”

And that’s exactly how it feels.

With a seam-welded chassis, reduced weight, and a more aggressive engine setup, the RS delivers a level of feedback that modern cars simply cannot replicate.

Market Context

The 993 RS has become one of the most sought-after air-cooled Porsches globally.

Recent market examples:

Clean low-mileage cars have traded between £250,000 and £300,000+ depending on spec, provenance and condition

Exceptional collector-grade cars have exceeded this

With just 17,700 km, this example sits firmly in the desirable end of the market.

Driving Impression

Raw but precise.

The steering is alive, the chassis communicates everything, and the engine builds power in a way that feels mechanical and honest. There’s no filter here, no assistance beyond what’s necessary.

It rewards commitment. It demands attention. And when driven properly, it delivers something very few cars can.

Price Guide

• Auction start price £250,000 
• Expected sale range £260,000+
• Potential to exceed £270,000 depending on bidding
• This is a serious collector car and will attract global attention.
