Jul 22: Porsche 964 Carrera RSR 3.8 Replica indepth

[TT]

Yep, another Porsche indepth. Since I became a Porsche owner, I must admit the %age of such indepths grew a lot, I hope you won't mind :)

This car is awesome! The owner took a 964 C2 and transformed it into a RSR replica.
I drive a 964 myself, but what the owner did to his car, transformed it into something wild!
Totally stripped of useless weight and lot of engine tuning. The day we shoot the pics, it was pushing 325 hp and 400 Nm, in a car that weights 1140 kg :shock:t. Now the car should have received a real RSR engine, good for some 400 hp

I can assure you the acceleration is incredible, compressing you in the seat as any 500+ supercar would do, and the experience is dominated by the transmission whine and engine internals screaming right in your ears thanks to the removal of any soundproof material or cabin goodies :D
Cornering is equally impressive, as well as braking and all in all, this must be one of the 5 scariest cars in which I had a ride lately! Sooooooooo fun!!!!!!!!!!!

As always, click any preview to be taken to the full 26 high-res pics update!

Ah the 964, the most costly 911 for Porsche to build. Still gotta love a RS series Porsche of any generation!

does it have 993TT brakes?

[StanAE86]

I don't object at all... :D

Beautiful car...awesome car!

Wish you were around here, so I could have you take some nice pictures of my car.

Great pictures, the car has a lot of character.

What a lovely car. Midnight blue color isn't it? Lovely color transitions in the rear 3 qtr shot displayed above. Would be cool to hear the sound from inside and outside - maybe next time?

Can't remember the source of the braking system :oops:

Well, as I don't have a video camera, it won't be easy :bah:

I saw a similar 964 "fake" RSR this weekend, this model looks badass, especially with those fat lip wheels. :twisted:

Thanks Matteo for the pix. :D

[Smartdriver]

Wow, very great car! The look is so aggressive! :wink:

[pzgren]

[cooperluke]

Thks for the pics!! Amazing car, a true drivers car!!! :D

[MartijnGizmo]

Wow, just 1140kg, that must feel great! Nice pics btw.

Definitely one of the most brutal cars I ever had a ride in. On par with 1 milion worth supercars IMO, as far as sensations go!
