A stripped-down driver-focused version of the 964 developed exclusively for the U.S. market, the RS America features a lightweight design derived from the European-spec Carrera RS. This 1993 example is one of only 701 RS Americas produced in total. It came factory-finished in Guards Red over a black interior and equipped with an optional limited-slip differential. The car has also been modified with front and rear spoilers, front brake ducts, integrated driving lights, 17” Fuchs-style wheels, reupholstered Sport Seats, an Alcantara-trimmed steering wheel, a B&B performance exhaust, Rennline monoball strut mounts, Rennline adjustable camber plates, a Weltmeister pulley hub, 928 GTS calipers, Zimmermann drilled rotors, Bilstein HD shocks, and a Rothsport short shifter. Acquired by the current owner in 2011 at 123k miles and treated to a complete engine rebuild the following year, this RS America is now being offered for auction out of Florida with just over 129k miles showing on the odometer.
The RS America came without a sunroof or rear window wiper as standard equipment and features “RS” decals on the lower rear quarters. Finished in Guards Red, this example has been modified with an aftermarket front spoiler, integrated front driving lights, fog light brake duct inserts, aftermarket AP Design headlamps, and a ducktail rear spoiler. The original whale tail decklid spoiler is included in the sale. The car rides on aftermarket Fuchs-style wheels measuring 7.5” wide in the front and 9” wide at the rear, dressed in Dunlop tires from 2011. The seller notes most of the car’s bodywork was refinished under previous ownership, and the paint remains in good overall condition with some minor imperfections around the exterior. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The lightweight interior features flat door panels with cloth pull straps and power-adjustable Sport Seats reupholstered in black leather and Alcantara. Other accessories include a custom Alcantara-trimmed three-spoke steering wheel, red safety belts, power windows, air conditioning, aluminum Rennline pedals and gauge bezels, a Rothsport short shifter, an aluminum parking brake cover, a fire extinguisher, and a Porsche Traffic Pro CD stereo.
Factory-rated at 247 HP, the air-cooled 3.6-liter M64 flat-six engine drives the rear wheels through a 5-speed G50 manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. The RS America came with standard rack-and-pinion steering and the M030 Sport Suspension package, which includes shorter springs, stiffer dampers, and a thicker front stabilizer bar. This example has been modified with a B&B performance exhaust, a Weltmeister pulley hub (1:1 fan speed), Rennline monoball strut mounts, Rennline adjustable front camber plates, 928 GTS brake calipers, Zimmermann drilled brake rotors, and Bilstein HD shocks and struts. The 901 Shop of Stuart, Florida, performed a complete engine rebuild in 2012; a corresponding invoice is provided in the gallery. The seller notes that the alternator makes some noise.
This sale will include a spare tire, a tire inflator, the original rear decklid, service records, and a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “The RS America is a blast to drive!”

Hey everyone. A few things to note: The central warning light is on and it is not clear why. Funny enough, there is a warning light cancel button. There have been no noticeable issues. Also the car has been modified quite a bit, so please look through all the photos and compare all the subtle modifications made from the factory RS America. If anyone has any questions please ask away.
@Cozad1955 The 3.8 badge on the heater bypass just came with the part. The factory whale tail is two part. The lower part is metal and the upper part is fiberglass or plastic. The ducktail is that is on it now is fiberglass.
Regards
I notice "3.8" on the manifold. Was the engine displacement increased with the rebuild? Also, is the rear deck lid and ducktail metal or composite? Thanks.
