The Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.8 is a light weight and track-focused version of the Codenamed 964 Porsche 911.
Description[]
In 1992, Porsche produced a super-lightweight, rear-wheel-drive only version of the 964 dubbed Carrera RS for the European market. It was based on Porsche's 911 "Carrera Cup" race car and harked back to the 2.7 and 3.0 RS and RSR models. It featured a revised version of the standard engine, titled M64/03 internally, with a marginally increased power output of 260 PS (191 kW; 256 bhp) and a lightweight flywheel coupled to the G50/10 transmission with closer ratios, asymmetrical limited slip differential, and steel synchromesh. A track-oriented suspension system with 40 mm (1.6 in) lower ride height, stiffer springs, shocks and adjustable stabilizer bars without power steering (RHD UK cars did have power steering).
Two versions were available; the standard RS and Clubsport.
The standard RS or heavier "Touring" variant included more creature comforts when compared with the Clubsport (thin carpets, some sound deadening, leather lined bucket seats, undercarriage protection with options such as a radio, power windows, and air conditioning).
The Clubsport package (option code M003) included a fully a stripped-out interior devoid of power windows, seats, rear seats, air conditioning, cruise control, stereo system, sound deadening and carpeting. It was equipped with a roll cage and full racing-bucket front seats. The bonnet was aluminum and the chassis was seam welded. Wheels were magnesium and the glass was thinner in the doors and rear window. At 1,217 kg (2,683 lb), the Carrera RS is approximately 123 kg (271 lb) lighter than the US-market RS America. Porsche made 290 cars with the M003 option code.
Towards the end of the production run a limited production version was available in Europe; called the Carrera 3.8 RS. It featured the wider Turbo body and a 300 PS (221 kW; 296 bhp) 3.8-litre version of the M64 motor. This engine was bored out by 2 mm for a total of 3,746 cc, and was also available in a more powerful competition version called the 3.8 RSR. Only 11 3.8 spec cars were equipped with the Clubsport package.

Performance[]
The 911 Carrera RS 3.8 has a decent top speed, but bad acceleration, below-average handling, wide drift radius and weak nitro efficiency at stock. It can be considered a slightly better Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary, with slightly worse top speed and similar acceleration, but slightly better handling and nitro. When upgraded, it can perform well on all types of tracks due to its pretty good top speed and decent drifting radius but will still struggle against higher ranked cars like the Ginetta G60, which is superior to it in every aspect.
Availability[]
It was initially available in the West to East and Eurobloom seasons' Legend Passes, with each of them granted 
64 and an Epic Import Part once all tiers had been reached and an additional 4 could be obtained from completing all four mission episodes, leading it to be starred up to

During the Festive Fury Update, it was available in its Boss Event TLE between December 15 – 18, 2024, as part of the Avenged Sevenfold collaboration, with a total of 15 and an Epic Import Part could be obtained.

600 in the Gauntlet Market, with up to 12 can be purchased for each refresh.
