1993 Porsche 911 RS America is for sale

In 1986, Benjamin Dimson designed the Porsche 964, which was premiered in 1989 and was produced until December 1993. In 1992, Porsche re-introduced a limited edition of the RS model, but with emissions-legal in Europe only. However, the following year, at the request of American customers, Porsche developed the RS America, and only 701 units left the production lines. One such example, the 1993 Porsche 911 RS America, is up for sale.

Porsche 911 RS America is powered by a 3.6-liter aircooled flat-six engine with 247 hp (184 kW) and 228 lb-ft (310 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear axle via a G50 5-speed manual transmission and an optional limited-slip differential. It reaches 60 mph in 5.2 seconds with a top speed of 162 mph (260 km/h). It’s mounted on a set of 17-inch Cup wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 tires. The odometer shows 56,000 miles.

The car is finished in black and is in good condition. It is equipped with electric sunroof, air conditioning, Becker-Porsche CDR-220 stereo, FVD Brombacher exhaust components, modified suspension with Bilstein PSS10 components, fixed rear spoiler, manually-adjustable aero mirrors, and fog lights.

Inside, the sports seats are covered in black fabric, while the steering wheel is wrapped in black leather. There is also a luggage shelf, while the rear seats have been replaced with enclosed storage compartments.

It has a clean Carfax report showing no accidents or damage. The auction ends on November 23rd and the current highest bid is $80,000 USD.

The Singer Porsche 911 story has come to an end

Since 2010, the California-based company, Singer Vehicle Design, has so far offered wealthy customers around the world restored and modified Porsche models. Now after more than a decade the story has come to an end. Singer Vehicle Design has officially announced that it is no longer accepting orders for restomod Porsche 911 (964).

In its 12 years of operation, Singer has successfully realized 450 projects based on the 911 (964) model. Singer CEO Rob Dickinson has stated that Singer Vehicle Design will no longer offer restomod 911s from the 964 Series, despite the fact that there are still many of these cars on the market that would make an excellent basis for Singer’s method of restoration/modification. Dickinson also said that 12 years ago, no one at Singer thought they would end up selling 450 examples of a car that costs around $1 million.

The Porsche 911 restomod is powered by a 4.0-liter flat-six engine with 390 hp (287 kW) and 315 lb-ft (427 Nm) of torque. That’s enough power to push the car to 62 mph in just over 3 seconds. The engine is paired with a five-speed or six-speed manual transmission.

The company said that they are preparing for a new chapter, the Turbo Study, which was recently announced by the 911 model, whose appearance is clearly reminiscent of the first Porsche 911 Turbo that was presented in 1975.
