This 1996 Porsche 911 Supercup is one of 216 examples built between 1994 and 1997. Chassis 398100 was reportedly delivered new to Brazil for use in the international Porsche Supercup championship, though it participated in just two races due to a lack of funding. The car is said to have been campaigned in a support race at the Monaco Grand Prix in the late 1990s before arriving in the US at some point prior to 2000. It was subsequently raced in a number of PCA events and was acquired by the current owner in the early 2020s. Finished in yellow, the car is powered by a 3.8-liter M64/70 flat-six mated to a six-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. It rides on center-lock 18″ Speedline Supercup wheels and is further equipped with an aluminum hood, a Turnwald rear wing, and plexiglass quarter windows. Inside, the race-prepped cockpit features a pair of Recaro fixed-back bucket seats with Sabelt multi-point harnesses accompanied by a roll cage, a MOMO steering wheel, and a fire-suppression system. This 993 Supercup race car is now offered as part of the Mohr Imports Car Week Collection: Postcards from Monterey on dealer consignment in California with service records and a bill of sale.
Based on the 993 Carrera, Supercup race cars featured bodywork from the Carrera RS as well as an aluminum hood, a Turnwald rear wing, plexiglass quarter windows, doors without crash bars, and a thinner rear window and door glass than the road-going car. This example is finished in yellow with number 1 decals on both doors. Further details include tow hooks, hood pins, air intakes in place of the fog lights, metallic silver-finished dual side mirrors, and a cowl-mounted electrical cut-off switch. A number of bodywork components were repaired and refinished in 2010, while damage to the hood and rear decklid was repaired in 2014. Flaws in the finish are shown in the gallery below.
Speedline Supercup 18″ wheels measuring 8.5″ and 10″ feature three-piece modular construction with magnesium centers and aluminum barrels. The center-lock wheels retain filled lug holes and are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport slicks.
The 993 Supercup cars feature four-wheel independent suspension and a 70mm lower ride height than the contemporary 993 road car. The car is further equipped with a front strut brace, and the anti-lock braking system incorporates four-piston calipers over cross-drilled rotors at all four corners.
The stripped cockpit houses a pair of Recaro fixed-back bucket seats trimmed in black cloth and outfitted with Sabelt multi-point harnesses. The car was factory-equipped with a Matter roll cage with door bars, and additional equipment includes a fire-suppression system, a left window net, a wood driver’s floor panel, and red RS-style pull straps on the doors.
The MOMO steering wheel features a Porsche Supercup center cap and frames a central 7,600-rpm tachometer, a 300-km/h speedometer, an analog clock, and auxiliary gauges. The six-digit odometer shows 16k kilometers (~10k miles), which is not considered to be accurate. Total mileage is unknown.
The 3.8-liter air-cooled M64/70 flat-six features an aluminum crankcase and cylinder heads along with Bosch Motronic engine management, dry-sump lubrication, and twin-spark ignition. The engine was factory-rated to produce 315 horsepower, and it was rebuilt in 2003.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a G50/30 six-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. Scrapes are visible along the underside, additional photos of which are shown in the gallery below.
