Ad text:
1990 Porsche Carrera 4 RS Lightweight Chassis no. 964004 Porsche built 20 of these cars. This very rare car is a lightweight version of the Carrera 4. It uses the same engine as the RS, but without catalytic converters or mufflers. The engine produces 300 bhp. To save weight it has an aluminum front lid, aluminum doors, plexiglass side windows and a fiberglass rear engine lid.

What's the cost of this car? Can't find it on the website.

[Az911]

If I had the money I would buy that right now with out a second thought

OMG that is Rare! I did not realize that Porsche did a duel exhaust on the 964 from the factory on any version other than the Turbo 965's

[JeremyD]

and it still has the butt-a$$ ugly design 90 wheels!

[Pete000]

I suspect they kept the ugly wheels due to thier light weight. Besides the Cup 1's wern't designed yet in 1990

[TRE Cup]

notice the two large knobs on the dash? those are for adjusting the differentials on the 4WD- rare paris-dakar transmission!

[JeremyD]

You take that one - I'll take the 962 - OK?

[Ho Hum 74]

How much, how much? Santa only has a few days left.

That would be such a cool car to own! That's the best Porsche porn I've seen all day.

I wonder what the actual weight is? Stock was around 3100-3200lb. I'd be surprised if it was less than 2700lb.

Curious to see that exhaust too - can't get a dual outlet arrangement with OE 964 headers/cat bypass/muffler bypass(s). RS Americas were single outlet (pass side) with the above arrangement. It must have custom headers or early no-cat 993-style exhaust (which would get it close to 300HP)

Methinks I have something to shoot for when I get my hands on the '90 C4 this spring ...

[fryardds]

According to Excellence was Expected the weight of the C4 Lightweight is 2,425 lbs., a 24% reduction from stock. Wow that is impressive.

[makaio]

I didn't see a price. How much do you think they are asking?

[project935]

2425lbs! Damn!

I don't think it is for sale ... that link was showcasing a car in the Imperial Palace car collection in Vegas.

[fryardds]

It is being sold by the Blackhawk Collection, but there no price listed in the ad.

Got wood?

That R is AWESOME!

PS - It says 1,100kg on the site for the C4. That's 2,200# in my book. It must FN-FLY!

[GeorgeK]

1100 kgs is 2420 lbs, give or take 20
