--White with 2,000 miles from new, Never raced. The racing variant of the 3.8-litre Carrera RS was the 3.8 RSR, The 3.8 RSR came equipped from the factory with a racing chassis with fully adjustable Bilstein shock absorbers and a braking system from the Turbo S with re-tuned ABS and competition brake pads. There was also ****pit adjustable anti-roll bars and three-piece light-alloy wheels that were half-an-inch wider all round, 9.5-inches front and 11.5 at the rear, the wheels originally run on Pirelli racing tires. The engine was equipped with racing camshafts and output varied from between 325bhp at 6900rpm to 375bhp at 7400rpm. This depended on which series was being contested and output was regulated by air restrictors of varying sizes. Each RSR was also fitted with a supplementary oil radiator, a 120-litre FT3 fuel tank and a five-speed manual gearbox with competition clutch. Externally, composite panels were used for the sills and bumpers while the engine cover, doors and latched front front lid were all aluminium. Like the 3.8 RS, there were air intakes positioned next to the front indicators and at the chin spoiler, the plastic dual plane rear wing was also adjustable. The interior was comprehensively stripped of all soundproofing material and any unnecessary trim, Porsche installing a solitary Recaro bucket seat with six-point harness, a roll cage and a complete fire protection system. Weighing in at 1215kg, ballast was applied where necessary to bring the RSR up the minimum weight of any given rulebook. Top speed was 181mph and 0-60 took just 4.7 seconds. Production ran between April 1993 and September '94, 45 3.8 RSR's eventually being completed.
