Capture Date: Aug. 12, 2009
City: Monterey (CA)
Event: 2009 Monterey Car Week, 2009 Monterey Spotting

Porsche 911 993 Carrera RS spotted on highway 1 as we were driving to Carmel from Monterey California. Jason Thorgalsen was driving and I was in the backseat snapping photos left and right. This is one of my more memorable spottings as it was my first 993 RS spot and in heavy slow moving traffic!

This was on display at the Ocean Ave Carmel Concours on the Avenue. I'm sure it would be the same car. The owner got it in from Canada.

That was my car. Yes I showed the car at ocean ave that week. I got the car in Germany, not Canada. Only four USA legal 993rs cars are in the states none ate Canadian, the rs was not imported in north America. Great photos, I've been looking for them for a month.

Jeff, can you tell us a little about the car, history? how long you have had it for etc?

The car was the first of currently 4 road legal 993RS cars in the states to date. This car was the first back in 2002 followed by a red one in 2003 then a silver one a friend and I picked up in Germany in 2007 and finally Jerry Seinfeld brought his in the county, a blue one last year. Mine was sold new in Germany, then went to Italy, then back to Germany before it came to the states. 1,014 examples were built with 227 of those in Clubsport version, none came to North America and only a hand full went to Brazil. The 993RS is the homolagation car for the 993RSR for group N/GT which requires 1,000 road going units be built with all the qualifying mechanical features found on the race cars. The RS has light weight glass, body panels, alloy hood, larger than turbo sized brakes, seam welded chassis, mono ball suspension, 300hp 3.8 liter engine with custom ratio gearbox,special aerodynamics ext, ext. The car is uber special and weights in at 280 pounds less than a standard 993.

Hi Jeff, I spoke to you briefly on Ocean Ave when Clyde was there with you. I thought I heard you say that you'd gotten the car in from Canada. My mistake. You might like to read my review of a mate's 993RS that he lent me for a few days. http://www.madwhips.com/porsche-993-carrera-rs-is-the-perfect-car/ We're spoilt down here in Oz, we have 14 993RS's to share amongst the 22 million of us.

Hi Schmidt, I too was at the car show in Carmel and saw your RS, and I was wondering how one could buy a 993 RS and bring it to the states? Please let me know if how you did it.
