DP Motorsport’s 964 RSR Recreation – “Stonegrey”
Here’s another gem from the folks at DP Motorsport, this time with the focus on creating a super lightweight restomod based on a 1989 911 Carrera 2 (964). All in this car weighs just 1,050 kilograms.
Known as the 964 Classic RSR Stonegrey, this backdate is a pretty special machine with a vintage Carrera RSR 2.8 design and super-modern carbon-Kevlar body components and upgrades throughout. DP Motorsport changed the front fenders, the rear side panels, the hoods, aprons, side doors with green tinted Plexiglas and the roof skin. The car rides on Fuchs forged wheels, 9J x 15 ET 26 up front and 11J x 15 ET 15 on the rear. KW supplies the individually adjustable coilover suspension with colored anodized top mounts in the “Clubsport” version, which is adjusted to a 40 millimeter lowering. Tires are Michelin “TB5”, 225/50 R 15 at the front and 285/40 R 15 at the rear.
The naturally aspirated engine gets a displacement increase to 3.8 liters and delivers 320 hp with maximum torque of 380 Newton meters. The exhaust system is made of stainless steel pipe material with fan headers and two metal catalytic converters contributes to the performance increase of 70 hp compared to the standard version. The interior is defined by the welded tubular steel rollover protection, two characteristic “Lollipop” profile bucket seats and the new exterior paint finish “Stonegrey”. The shifter on the 993 GT2, which is shifted upwards, operates a revised G50 five-speed manual transmission with limited-slip differential.
