About this 1993 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 3.8

VIN: WP0ZZZ96ZPS496096

This 1993 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 3.8 represents one of the most significant production-based racing cars of its era. According to the seller, this is one of just 51 examples constructed of the highly desirable 964 series RSR, completed in December 1993 and finished in Grand Prix White over a black racing interior. The RSR 3.8 heralded Porsche's return to production-based motorsport in the early 1990s, designed to compete in European Pro GT racing and the North American Supercar series. Powered by a naturally aspirated 3.8-liter air-cooled flat-six Type M64/04 engine featuring increased compression, dual ignition, individual throttle butterflies, and dry-sump lubrication, these cars delivered factory-rated 325 horsepower—figures the seller notes were deliberately conservative. Porsche engineers achieved a remarkable 2,673-pound dry weight through extensive modifications including seam-welded steel bodies, Matter-built roll cages, light-alloy doors and front lids, stainless steel Heim joint suspension, and thinner glass throughout.

Key characteristics of this example include:

  • Factory-equipped with air jacks, center-lock 18-inch RS 3.8 Speedline wheels, double fuel filler, and Le Mans exhaust
  • Original matching-numbers Type M64/04 engine per the seller's documentation
  • Comprehensive restoration by Freisinger Motorsport of Karlsruhe, Germany in 2007
  • Recent fuel system overhaul by Roock Sportsystem (May 2025) including bladder cleaning and new fuel pumps
  • Documented racing history with Nova Engineering and Team Kunimitsu in the All-Japan GT Championship (1993–1995)
  • Deutscher Motor Sport Bund (DMSB) Historic Technical Passport granting eligibility for premier vintage racing events

The market for 964 Carrera RSR 3.8 models has demonstrated significant strength, with recent sales ranging from approximately $730,000 to over $2 million depending on provenance, originality, and mileage. Examples with documented racing history and professional restorations by recognized shops such as Freisinger Motorsport command particular interest among collectors. While ultra-low-mileage specimens in museum condition have achieved seven-figure results at auction, documented competition cars with known history like this example occupy a desirable position for enthusiasts seeking authentic racing pedigrees. According to the seller, this RSR presents in excellent cosmetic condition throughout, with smooth Grand Prix White paint, excellent panel fitment, and a properly maintained engine compartment retaining correct factory components. The spartan race-spec interior features the correct Recaro driver's seat, Takata harness, Matter-built roll cage, and fire suppression equipment consistent with factory-delivered specifications.
