Seller's Introduction

duPont REGISTRY Live is proud to present this exceptional 1990 Porsche 911 964 Carrera RS 3.8 Tribute, a meticulously executed build that captures the spirit and visual presence of the legendary Carrera RS 3.8 while retaining the timeless character of the air-cooled 964 platform. Originally delivered to the European market as a ROW (Rest of World) example and later imported to Japan, this 911 has undergone a comprehensive transformation featuring an all-metal widebody conversion, upgraded suspension and braking systems, and numerous RS-inspired enhancements that create a truly striking and engaging driver's car.

Overview

The exterior has been extensively reimagined to mirror the aggressive stance of the coveted Carrera RS 3.8. A professionally executed all-metal widebody conversion incorporates welded steel front fenders and rear quarter panels, delivering factory-quality fit and finish while preserving the integrity of the chassis. Complementing the widened bodywork are Design 911 RS-style front and rear bumpers, Design 911 widebody side skirts, and a Getty Design RS 3.8-style rear wing that completes the car's unmistakable motorsport-inspired profile. A glass-out repaint ensures a high-quality finish throughout, while custom VR wheels built to original RS 3.8 specifications fill the widened arches. Yellow RS-style brake calipers provide a vibrant contrast against the bodywork, and an electronic sliding sunroof adds everyday usability to this performance-focused build.

Inside, the cabin maintains the classic air-cooled Porsche atmosphere while offering modern comfort and convenience. Black leather upholstery provides a timeless and understated presentation, complemented by electronically controlled seats for enhanced comfort. An Alpine head unit delivers updated audio functionality, while factory air conditioning ensures the car remains enjoyable in a variety of driving conditions. The interior strikes an ideal balance between preserving the 964's analog charm and providing practical amenities for regular use.

Power comes from the Porsche's original 3.6-liter air-cooled flat-six engine, a powerplant revered for its distinctive character, mechanical feel, and unmistakable soundtrack. Breathing through a Fabspeed performance exhaust system, the engine delivers an enhanced exhaust note that perfectly complements the visceral nature of the air-cooled driving experience.

The chassis has been upgraded to match the car's aggressive appearance and sporting intent. A coilover suspension system sharpens handling and improves composure, while a front big brake kit and 993 rear brake upgrade provide significantly improved stopping performance. Together, these enhancements create a balanced and confidence-inspiring driving experience that honors the RS legacy while offering modernized capability and responsiveness.

Accompanying the sale are the factory toolkit and a collection of service records from its time in Japan, further documenting the history of this unique example. Combining the iconic styling cues of the Carrera RS 3.8 with thoughtful mechanical upgrades and high-quality craftsmanship, this 1990 Porsche 911 964 Carrera RS Tribute represents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive air-cooled Porsche that delivers both visual impact and driving excitement. Whether enjoyed on winding back roads, displayed at enthusiast gatherings, or added to a curated Porsche collection, this remarkable 964 stands as a fitting tribute to one of Stuttgart's most celebrated performance models.
