Porsche 993 Carrera RS

For 1995 model year Porsche produced another legend the new 993 RS and 993 RS Club Sport .  Based around the 993 Carrera (2 wheel drive). This was a 911 intended for track use or light sporting use 'straight out of the box'. 

The weight was reduced by 50 kg from a standard 993 by omitting various luxury components such as the rear seats and the steel trunk lid was replaced by an aluminium lid along with thinner glass for the side windows.  The chassis improvements included 40 mm lowered suspension . The brakes were taken from the 993 Turbo and the 3.8 litre engine was remapped to produce 300bhp.

You could order an RS in Club Sport guise.  With this , the  weight was further reduced, the airbag, electric windows, electric seat adjustments and headlight washers were removed, which  reduced the overall weight by around 100 kg's. Other differences between the RS and the RS Clubsport are the Clubsport's bigger spoiler, that is optional on the RS, and a slightly different front-wing, giving more downforce.
