The RS America is a lighter limited edition performance version, of the venerable Porsche 911 Carrera made for the 1993 model year. According to Porsche this both Commemorates and Captures the spirit of the original 1973 Carrera RS.The original 1973 Carrera RS was available in Europe but unfortunately not in the USA. Porsche decided to build the 1993 Carrera RS to European Spec with a limited number in compliance with US regulations. These US Spec cars were assigned the name RS America.The intent was to create a basic lightweight, no frills 911, with minimal luxury options. Fitting the RS America with the M030 Sport Suspension Package, which includes the use of much of the running gear from the 911 C2 Turbo, leading to higher performance limits. The Turbo's progressively wound coil springs, larger diameter front stabilizer bar, and upgraded shock absorbers are standard equipment for the RS America, as are 17 C2 Turbo wheels. The RSA rims are 7 wide on the front and 8 wide on the rear (as opposed to the 7 wide front and 9 wide rear wheels of the C2 Turbo).............The only RS America with only 17k miles available in the U.S. market.........immaculate condition!!
