1995 Carrera RS
The second time was the charm for this lightweight 993

A reader reached out to me recently asking about the 993 Carrera RS, and while I haven’t had much time behind the wheel myself, I shared that a collector friend of mine—someone who has owned or driven nearly every RS variant—kept his 993 Carrera RS even as he sold off most of his other cars, simply because it was his favorite. And it’s not hard to see why. The 993 Carrera RS was the ultimate lightweight version of its generation, powered by a naturally aspirated 3.8-liter flat-six producing 300 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. Based on the Carrera Cup competition car, it was conceived as a homologation special for the RSR 3.8 to qualify for BPR GT3 and GT4 racing, making it one of the most focused and desirable road-going 993s ever built.
This 1995 911 Carrera RS was sold new through Mizwa Motors in Japan and later brought to the U.S. under the NHTSA Show or Display exemption in 2013. Finished in Polar Silver Metallic over a two-tone Black and Gray leather interior, it shows just 43k kilometers (~27k miles). The car is accompanied by plenty of detailed photos in the gallery, including paint meter readings, and recent maintenance included a brake fluid flush and oil change in February 2025, while a replacement battery was installed in 2016. A rare and desirable RS, it presents well with a clean history and proper care over the years.
Over the past twelve months, 993 Carrera RS values have averaged $382,600, with a low of $246,705 and a high of $830,000 for a 13,000-mile Riviera Blue example with a Clubsport Aerokit. Our Spotlight car had previously failed to sell in May when bidding stopped at $380,000, but this time it cleared that hurdle, hammering at $407,000.
