1995 Porsche 993 RS Club Sport

The 993 RS CS is one of the most respected models of the iconic Porsche 911 series. The 993 was the last of the air cooled Porsche cars and deemed by many to be the last real Porsche 911. The RS (standing for Renn or Race sport) is the lightweight version of the 993 Carrera produced in 1995 and 1996. The weight saving measures included removing headlight washers and rear seats etc whilst lightweight seats and door panels were utilised. The RS CS is even further pared back and weighs just 1,235 kg compared to the 1,270 kg of the RS Touring and 1,370kg of the Carrera. It is felt by many experts to be the finest road/track car ever built by Porsche. The RS hits 0 – 100 km/h in just 5 seconds and has a top speed of 277 km/h from its 3.8 litre six cylinder air cooled engine coupled with a six speed close ratio manual transmission

 

This superb example was owned and driven by legendary New Zealander, Jim Richards – winner of four Australian Touring Car Championships, a winner seven times at Bathurst.  He was inducted into the V8 Supercar Hall of Fame and the Australian Motorsport Hall of Fame in 2006.  Richards was the 2010 Touring Car Masters Champion. Richards drove this RS CS to win the 1999 Australian GTP Championship. Wayne Cooper took possession of the car in 2000 and ran it successfully in Porsche Cup before the car passed to its current owner ten years ago who has run it in the Targa Tasmania, Porsche Club sprints and track days.

 

The car has been meticulously maintained with an engine and gearbox rebuild in 2003 and is in pristine condition having been repainted in 2011.  It comes with its CAMs logbook.
