Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.8 (964): A Street-Legal Racing Legend
Bringing Track Performance to the Open Road
To homologate the new 3.8-litre RSR (the original 964 RS had used a 3.6-litre motor), Porsche needed to offer a road-going version.
Although they only technically needed to build one example of the new road-going 911 3.8 Carrera RS, Porsche built 55 of special order customer cars assembled in the Customer Racing Department at Weissach.
Costing roughly double that of the outgoing 3.6-litre Carrera RS, the first example of the expensive new model rolled out of the factory in April 1993.
Compared to its predecessor, the 911 3.8 Carrera RS featured an abundance of performance enhancing modifications.
Each 3.8 RS was based on a seam-welded Turbo bodyshell complete with a reinforced floor and beefed up mounting points for the rear suspension, transmission and anti-roll bars.
Like the Turbo S Lightweight, red-painted brake calipers were fitted as standard.
The naturally aspirated M64/04 lump was riddled with an array of special parts, some of which were sourced from prototype engines for the soon-to-be-released 993.
Peak output was now 300bhp at 6500rpm and 266lb-ft at 5250rpm.
At just 1210kg, the 3.8 Carrera RS weighed 80kg less than the Turbo S Lightweight (1290kg) and 40kg less than the standard 3.6-litre Carrera RS (1250kg).
A collector's dream and a driver's delight, the RS 3.8 is a true embodiment of Porsche's racing spirit!

RealSpecs v0.9
After a long time I finally managed to finish the first phase of this mod. I think the driving experience is already pretty close to the target. There are still several improvements to be made both in terms of specifications (data) and in the 3D model, to fine-tune some details and make this wonderful machine even more faithful to the real model.
You can refer to the included "credits" file for information about the base model mod and changes made.
I hope you enjoy!
