This 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera Cup is one of 120 produced for the model year that were intended for use in the marque’s one-make race series. This European-market example was first sold in Germany, and it spent time in Japan prior to its importation to the US by the current owner in October 2016. The car is finished in Grand Prix White over a stripped interior, and power is provided by an air-cooled 3.6L M64/01 flat-six mated to a five-speed manual transaxle with a limited-slip differential. Additional features include an integrated roll cage, fixed-back Recaro seats, racing harnesses, lightweight door cards, 17? Cup wheels, Turbo-specification brakes, and adjustable suspension with Bilstein shock absorbers. This 964 Carrera Cup now shows just under 31k kilometers (~19k miles) and is offered by the seller on behalf of its current owner with importation paperwork, partial service records, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, an accident-free Carfax report, and a clean Montana title.
Conceived as a follow-up to the successful 944 Turbo Cup series, the Carrera Cup race series debuted in Germany in 1990 and was followed by similar series in France and Japan. All Carrera Cup models were produced without sound deadening material and featured chassis reinforcement welds, an aluminum hood with an aluminum hood prop in place of gas struts, and a cowl-mounted ignition cut-off switch.
Additional equipment include European-market side marker lights, aerodynamic mirrors, and a powered rear spoiler. The Grand Prix White finish is shown further in the gallery below, along with photos of paint meter readings taken from various parts of the body. Records indicate that the headlight trim was refinished in satin black in 2017, at which time a rocker panel and the left mirror were also refinished and a previously installed aftermarket air dam was removed.
