Here yer go lads check this out (anyone on here?) seems cheap though for a Clubsport (didn't know that RSR widebody was an option?) http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/561277.htm
964 RS N/GT for sale
- Thread starter ninesixfourrs
- Start date
IT WAS ALLEGEDLY a lap record holder round Goodwood (advertised about £30,000 in MotorSport five years back) and was ordered (ALLEGEDLY) from factory on 18" Speedline which gave provenance to the widebody (Perhaps), which without inspecting the car could be ... as the N-GT M003 option cars were bought by (mainly) race teams then Weissach would mod them or the OPC had Licence to convert from factory parts.....
Serious enlightenment need here please!
I thought N/GT was to a specific FIA spec - if big wheels (and therefore widebody) was an option why would you want to race anything else given the extra grip that would provide? Which would suggest it was either done for a specific purpose or got the wide arches a bit later.
And just what is a 964 3.6 RSR - I know what a 3.8 RSR is and they were built for 93 MY on a widebody anyway?
Hacki - somebody, help please!

Thinking of those years I´m sure there was no RS in 91, they came in 92. If my memory is correct I was offered a "pre series" RS in autumn 1991, but I didn´t buy it.
All the NGT cars had the classic body, VIN of this yellow car would be interesting. All the official widebodys, which came later, had 3.8 engines.
But: Those days it was very common over here to modify the cars. It´s easy, everything is prepared for the widebody version. So that´s what the raceteams did. A good example is the widebody car that won the 24 hrs N´ring in 1993 (Team Konrad). That widebody beast is the former Carrera Cup race car of Gerhard Müller (Maritimblau, em - eukal livery, sure Melv ´s got it in 1:43) It kept on winning in Brazil (1000 milhas), etc. The team finally called the car "Opa" (Granddad).
(Hope the year 1993 is correct, it´s only my personal memory)
Nobody knew those days that one day a NGT would be a collector´s item. (And nobody knew of the Great Mintneister!) I remember a mintgreen RS that a friend of mine bought brand new. 3 or 4 years later it was a twin turbo widebody and another year later it was just a piece of metal after missing the breaking point of the NGK chicane.
I think this yellow car is another "mongrel" out of its time.
Does anybody know more?

Hi
This car actually belongs to a friend of mine from work. Very nice guy and I recal him sending me pictures of it when I mentined I had one. The car has been well looked after but doesn't get a lot of use which is why I think it is up for sale. I don't remember the histrory behind the body work but I do remember the provenance was interesting.
I'll direct him to this thread if I speak to him.
Regards

Tony when I first entered the 964RS Arena nearly 10 years back, I was told by more than one "specialist and keen vendor" that a Clubsport 964RS was a RSR.. Once I acquired my lightweight and started getting into the scene, I soon put pay to this wrong designation ... rarely now you see a clubsport described as a RSR ....
Jawoh meinen liebenengrundeutscbangermunchen!
PS... Why did Germany lose to Croatia?
I was parked near this car at a goodwood breakfast club meet last August, I had a good look over it, have to say it seemed to be as good as when I saw it 10 years or so ago..price seems fair to me, not a standard spec NGT and doesn't have the mags etc..
