Porsche 1992 America Roadster
This is most likely the lowest mileage Porsche 964 American Roadster left, a one owner car with only 3373 miles
since new. Finished in black 'Schwartz' with Tan leather interior this car was bought new in 1992 and has remained
with its first and only owner throughout its life.
In 1952 the fledgling Porsche company had its eyes set on what would become its biggest marked, that of North
America. Sticking to Dr. Porsches ethos of an efficient and fast two seater they produced a no nonsense sportster
dubbed the 'America Roadster, ’ only 25 examples were manufactured, all but one sold to the US market.
Fast forward forty years to 1992, Porsche had built a legend in the 911 originally designed by Ferdinand
‘Butzi’ Porsche in 1964, now in what is considered the final iteration of the classic body shell the 964 had
evolved into a thoroughly modern car with all of the expected creature comforts and safety equipment expected in
the modern world.
To celebrate the anniversary of the 25 cars from forty years earlier Porsche reintroduced the formula for a short
run of 964 models, producing in the process 250 of the 964 'America Roadsters.’ Utilizing a Turbo wide body
convertible it was equipped with such features as special 17” Cup wheels, turbo brakes and suspension, a rear
seat delete - making it strictly a two seater and a fully electric convertible top. Keeping the lines clean, the
rear spoiler was that of the regular Carrera 2 and 4 - a speed activated electric unit housed in the engine lid.
Powered was generated by the normally aspirated flat six rated at 280hp
Finished in solid black (Schwarz) with Tan interior featuring Ruffled leather seats, condition is as ‘showroom
fresh’ as you are ever likely to see, the paint finish is factory Porsche original, all factory applied finishes
and stickers are present. Toolkit, tire compressor, spare tire bag and tire changing gloves are of course included
and unused. This car was optioned with a Tiptronic transmission, making it rarer still as only 41 cars were so
equipped.
Having just had a full service and maintenance update by the local Porsche main dealer it is on the button for the
new owner.
