one of only two ever made "street" versions of the car and in more than pristine condition.
(if you look at the pics and are saying to yourself "what the heck is all over that car?", read the story.)
The car retains its Cosmoline protective coating, which was applied by the factory to ensure it wouldn’t rust during its journey across the Atlantic.
(the interior is so red, that it almost looks like a toy car)
(note it has only 10km on the dial, that's like 6 miles)
There’s something particularly alluring about a street-going version of a race car. Among those is this near one-off example of the Porsche 964 RSR, the ultimate iteration of the new-fangled 911 made from 1989 through 1994.
Both the 964 Carrera 2 and Carrera 4 shared a flat-six engine, enlarged from 3.2 to 3.6 liters, developing about 240 hp in U.S. street trim.
The RSR was an altogether different animal, with a 3.8-liter engine that developed about 375 hp. With Turbo-style bodywork, it left little to the imagination.
Including a prototype, only 51 examples of the 964 RSR were built, each supplied direct from the factory as a turnkey race car for privateer racers.
Exactly two Strassenversion (Street Version) RSRs were built by Porsche Motorsport, making this example nearly unique, and with matching numbers. Basically untouched, No. 107 shows only 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) on the odometer. And to say that this Porsche has an interesting provenance is an understatement.
Built to the original owner’s specification, it was delivered by Porsche Cars Great Britain on May 25, 1996, and was sequestered away in a collection. Painted Polar Silver Metallic, it is extensively trimmed in Guards Red leather, extending to the headliner, dash, steering column, steering wheel, door caps, and even the roll cage.
Other features of this particular race car include a passenger seat, air jacks, a locking differential, a 120-liter fuel tank, and a Le Mans-specification twin-plug engine.
