​Introduced in 1993, the RS America was a lightened, limited edition, performance version of the venerable Porsche® 911 Carrera® which according to Porsche® both “commemorates the 20th Anniversary of”, and “captures the spirit of” the original 1973 Carrera® RS. By now, engine size had increased to 3.6 liters, and horsepower output had pretty much doubled.

​
In the end, only some 701 RSA's  over 2 years (model years 1993 and 1994) were ever  produced, making this one of the rarest 911 models Porsche ever produced.



But, you may say, it's not a "real" RS - like the original '73. Well, good point. So how does the RSA stack up against the original RS? Surprisingly well, actually. Click here to find out.

​

My particular car is one of only 92 of the remaining known 457 RSA's that came equipped with all 4 options offered for the car (a very limited number, as Porsche offered 48 options in '93 for the regular 911). Besides being equipped with all 4 options, this car was custom ordered in Porsche Midnight Blue  - one of only 43 known to still exist in this color, and has the even more rarely known so-called "5th option" -  the  "XY" colored seat belt code. It is indeed a unique car.



Surprisingly though, there are some particularly ugly RSA America's out there however - like  this one.​
