Porsche decided to build the 1993 Carrera RS both to European spec and a limited number in compliance with US regulations. These US spec cars were assigned the name \u201cRS America\u201d. The intent was to create a basic lightweight, no frills 911 with minimal luxury options.<\/p>\n<p>The standard US Carrera 2 brakes, engine and gearbox were used. The RS weighed 2,945 pounds so it was almost 80 pounds lighter than a standard Carrera 2.&nbsp; Fitting the RS America with the M030 sport suspension package, which included the use of much of the running gear from the 911 C2 Turbo, led to higher performance limits.<\/p>\n<p>The Turbo&#8217;s progressively wound coil springs, larger diameter front stabilizer bar, and upgraded shock absorbers were standard equipment for the RS America, as were 17\u201d diameter C2 Turbo wheels. The RSA rims were 7\u201d wide on the front and 8\u201d wide on the rear (as opposed to the 7\u201d wide front and 9\u201d wide rear wheels of the C2 Turbo).&nbsp; It also got a very cool &#8220;whale tail&#8221; spoiler.<\/p>\n<p>In all, 701 cars were built as model year 1993 &#8211; 1994.<\/p>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon
