Porsche 993 3.8 Cup «Evo RSR» 1995

Non registered competition car Since 1986, Porsche has won the loyalty of its customers, amateur and semi-professional drivers alike, by giving them access to one of the most spectacular single-model championships: the famous Carrera Cup; between 1995 and 1998, the legendary 993, the last “911” with an air-cooled engine, was chosen in its RS version to succeed the 964 Cup and take part in this championship, which is run in 4 countries (Germany, France, Italy and the United Kingdom), or in an international version known as the SuperCup. The car which illustrates these pages is one of these extremely rare 993 Cups, one of only 216 built, compared with the 1,014 production Porsche 993 RSs produced; a genuine circuit car, it benefits from a significant weight reduction (1,120 kg on the scales, i.e. 250 kg less than the civil RS), running gear and transmission adapted to the 3.8-litre engine developing just over 300 hp, and a hyperaggressive look with front spoiler and specific biplane rear wing... Chassis #98100, model year 1995, was sold new in France to Jean-Luc Chéreau, an experienced gentleman driver (9 participations in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, 3 participations in the 24 Hours of Daytona), who drove the car in the entire Carrera Cup... and SuperCup seasons (including Monaco!) in 1995 and 1996, with the Larbre Compétition team; the car was then owned by Didier Van Straaten, who took part in the FFSA GT races (2nd in his class!) and GTR races by BPR organisation, while another experienced driver, Roland Bervillé, raced it again in the 1998 Carrera Cup (assisted by the famous Almeras brothers). At the end of the 1990s, the car joined the Zanini Racing team in Spain, then updated to RSR specs before being successfully entered (class winner!) in the Campeonato de España de GT, driven by Luis Maurel and Javier Arenas; it was on this occasion that, under the colours of sponsor Galfer, its running gear was modified to accept brakes from the famous Iberian manufacturer; it then entered a well-deserved retirement, for club outings, in the hands of French and Spanish enthusiasts, including Jean-Jacques Peyraud and Carlos Beltran. Aguttes is now offering you an incredible opportunity to acquire a legendary Porsche racing car with a fantastic track record at a very reasonable entry price; after a well-deserved refit, it will be a perfect candidate to rise again in racing, in the main events around the world...
