An air-cooled Porsche 911 with genuine RS attitude is about to tempt UK collectors, and it isn’t wearing a half-million-pound price tag.
This 1994 Porsche 911 Carrera, reimagined as a 993 Carrera RS tribute, blends classic Stuttgart DNA with a reported £65,000 invested in period-correct upgrades.
Built between 1994 and 1998, the 993 remains the final air-cooled 911 and, for many enthusiasts, the sweet spot of the lineage.
At 1,370kg and narrower than today’s cars, it delivers a purity modern 911s can’t replicate.
Performance still feels vivid: 0–60mph in just over 5.5 seconds and a top speed beyond 165mph from its 3.6-litre flat-six.
Finished in Schwarz Metallic (L744), this example goes deep on RS detailing.
Genuine Speedline split-rim alloys — eight inches front, ten rear — sit beneath meticulously aligned bodywork, enhanced with RS side sills, a Clubsport rear wing and an authentic sunroof delete using a factory roof panel.
Big Red brakes, Michelin Pilot Sport N3 tyres and Topaz paint protection film underline the no-expense-spared approach.
Inside, retrimmed Recaro seats, RS door cards, lightweight carpets and a Heigo half roll cage deliver the right mix of theatre and authenticity.
A Momo RSR steering wheel fronts a cabin described as exceptionally tidy, with only minor wear to note.
With genuine 993 Carrera RS models now nudging £500,000 for the finest UK examples, this superbly executed evocation delivers the stance, theatre and air-cooled character of Stuttgart’s icon at a fraction of that figure. Better still, it’s currently up for auction on The Market, offering enthusiasts the rare chance to secure RS-inspired drama without the financial anxiety of piling miles onto a blue-chip original.
