Any Porsche 911 built with the word ‘Cup’ in its name is special and this particular 1995 911 Cup 3.8 RSR EVO is no exception.
Up for auction through Collecting Cars, this 911 was first owned by former regional president of the Porsche Club of America, John Ruther, and was the first 1995 3.8-liter model to be delivered to and remain in the U.S. market.
Ruther initially raced the car at Porsche Club Amateur events before hearing about the proposed developments of the Evolution version for 1997. He quickly had the car upgraded by Porsche Motorsports North America who equipped it with a new M64/70 RSR Sprint engine with Carillo conrods and uprated camshafts, twin-plug ignition, and various titanium components, allowing it to pump out around 390 hp. It was later equipped with a Teilert Engineering slide valve induction system and a programmable Porsche EFI unit, which increased power to 410 hp.

Elsewhere, this unique 911 Cup 3.8 RSR EVO has enlarged brake calipers, discs from a 911 Turbo, carbon fiber brake cooling ducts, double adjustable dampers, power steering, and twin oil coolers. It also sports an upgraded G50 six-speed manual transmission with a racing clutch, lightweight flywheel, and limited-slip differential.
The Collecting Cars listing notes that the car has never been crashed and still features its original Grand Prix White paintwork. No mileage details have been mentioned but the cabin is in good condition, although there are some small tears in the fabric of the driver’s seat.
