Classic Porsche Throwdown: 993 RS and 964 RS take off their gloves


 
  news 
 

What do you get when you have two iconic Porsche sports cars, miles of empty road ahead of you, a camera crew, and soundtrack music courtesy of Moby?

We’ll spare you the answer: you get a pretty awesome three-and-a-half minute video, that’s what!

Arguably two of the most famous Porsche 911 models in history - the 993 RS and the 964 RS - are the subjects in this video, and by asking us, we’ll tell you that they play the roles of protagonists very, very well.

It’s a scenic video comprising the two classic 911s blazing their rubber on a vast expanse of open land with a cargo plane serving as a noteworthy extra. There’s plenty to like about this video, including the soundtrack music courtesy of Moby that provides the feeling of buoyant serenity while watching the two Porsches in their natural habitat.

As a reminder to those that have forgotten, the 993 RS was a lightweight version of the 993 Carrera - 100 kg lighter, in fact - and was the first Porsche to ever use a 3.8-liter engine that produced 300 horsepower. On the flip side, the 964 RS was notable, not just because it was a lightweight rear-wheel-drive 911, but because it was sold in the US on a limited basis only. It came with a six-cylinder engine that had an output of 260 horsepower and 230 lb/ft of torque.

Two classic 911s getting their own video with Moby in the background. Good morning, indeed.

WOW! I think this is one of the best design of Porsche. BTW 993 RS is a lightweight version of 993 Carrera.

These cars are both impressive since it came from Porsche, and it is a great idea that they compete with each other, there will be no loser and winner. However, they can still make some upgrades on both cars for it to become more promising.

That was really impressive. I would also love to see vintage cars on the road. Well, let’s preserve its original beauty. We all know that many of us love seeing such kind of reinvention.

Well, looking at the vintage car of Porsche, I mistakenly see it as a modern car for its platform is not that classic. However, I would like to see a more power car!

I am not really surprised that Porsche would actually try this one. I actually that this is a pretty good idea, since you will get to see both cars in action and decide which one is better.
