Porsche 911 (964) Carrera RS

Carrera RS Performance Figures

This road legal version of the Carrera Cup racing car represents one of the very best of the 964 series of Porsche 911s.  Featuring a 3.6 litre version of the famous air cooled flat six boxer engine producing 260bhp and 240lb/ft of torque, it was good for 0-60 in 5.3 seconds and a top speed of 162.   

For such a large car its weight was slimmed down to a total of 1230Kg largely thanks to the removal of much of the standard car's sound proofing and the rear seats.  Up front things were minimalist with cloth trimmed Recaro seats rather than the more usual leather Porsche seats.

Compared to other Porsche 911s of its generation

Compared, for example, to the standard 1989 Carrera 4 these figures represent a power boost of 10bhp and a weight saving of almost 220Kg, though much of the extra weight of the Carrera 4 is due to its 4 wheel drive system.  The Carrera 4 had an identical top speed of 162mph, but took 0.4 seconds longer to reach 60 from zero, despite the fact that it could launch itself off the line so much more rapidly thanks to its 4 wheel drive system which it inherited from the 959 supercar.

Performance compared to today's Standards

Out of interest, the performance figures of both these 964 911s are very similar to the latest Porsche Boxster S, which has an identical maximum power output to the RS of 260bhp, and a very slightly higher top speed of 164mph.  Though the Boxster weighs in at a slightly heavier 1320Kg, explaining why its 0-60 time is 0.4 seconds slower at 5.7 seconds.  (the same time in fact as the 1989 Carrera 4).

These figures clearly demonstrate that even by today's standards the Carrera RS was very quick indeed, as was the Carrera 4.

Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the years and model numbers in the above pictures.  However if you have expert knowledge on any of these vehicles and wish to contradict any of these details, please contact us at Porsche-911s@pictures-of-cars.com.  We would very like to hear from anyone with any further details about the vehicles in these pictures.  Thank-you.
