The Beverly Hills Car Club founder and CEO shares his views on special edition Porsches and what they mean to him
with Alex Manos
A classic Porsche that I’ve long loved – so tasty, so classy, so power-packed – is the Porsche 911 Carrera RS America, a car christened after an entire continent.
Of course, the RS America was so named on account of once being described as “the car that the Porsche Club of America built.” In 1992 Porsche Cars North America made a crucial decision: the Carrera 3.8 RS was too uncontrolled and oomph-packed for the US market, as well as needing modifications to comply with federal law.
