The Porsche 993 is often hailed as the pinnacle of the air-cooled 911 era. But even within this iconic model, there exists a particularly special variant: the RS Clubsport. This extremely rare car was designed for track performance while maintaining street legality, making it a coveted collectible for Porsche enthusiasts worldwide.
Produced between 1995 and 1996, the 993 RS Clubsport was a homologation special for the GT2 racing car. This meant Porsche had to build a limited number of road-legal versions to meet racing regulations. While the exact production numbers are debated, it is estimated that around 200 RS Clubsports were created.
At the heart of the RS Clubsport lies a 3.8-liter flat-six engine, delivering approximately 300 horsepower. This powerplant, coupled with the car’s lightweight construction, results in exhilarating performance. The use of aluminum body panels, stripped-out interior, and other weight-saving measures contribute to the car’s impressive power-to-weight ratio.
