One to Buy: 1 owner until 2017 Guards Red 1992 Porsche 911 3.6 Carrera RS Touring (964)

Although the 1973 and ‘74 model year 911 Carrera RS in 2.7 and 3-litre trim quickly came to be regarded among Porsche’s most revered road-going models, the company did not create another Renn Sport street car until the early 1990s.
That machine was the 964-based 911 3.6 Carrera RS which debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1991.
Frequently cited by road testers of the time as almost too hardcore for general street use, this first iteration of the 964 Renn Sport subsequently went on to acquire iconic status and spawned an array of even more extreme spin offs with the subsequent racing versions going on to dominate the junior categories of international GT racing for several years.
Of the 2282 examples of the 964 3.6 Carrera RS produced between 1991 and ‘92, a particularly fine example is currently on offer at the Tomini Classics showroom in Dubai.
Configured in the popular colour scheme of Guards Red over a Black and Grey interior, this superb 1992 car was also optioned with the M002 Touring back and remains in fantastic unrestored condition having remained in the care of its first owner until 2017.
It has today covered a mere 18,400km and boasts a full Porsche main dealer service history from new along with a complete set of books and tools.
