This 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera Cup 3.8 is one of 45 built for the last two model years, and it is #12 of the final 15 made for the 1998 season. The car spent time with three owners before being acquired by the seller in December 2012 and subsequently underwent an engine rebuild by Porsche Motorsport North America (PMNA) in August 2015 in addition to a transaxle rebuild by Cervelli Technical Service in September of that year. Now showing 16k kilometers (~10k miles), it wears a multi-color livery and has front and rear spoilers, center-lock Speedline 18″ wheels, air jacks, and an adjustable coilover suspension. Inside, the driver is provided by a MOMO steering wheel and a MoTeC C125 digital display as well as a carbon-backed Recaro seat, a Schroth harness, a Matter roll cage, and a Werner fire-suppression setup. This 993 Carrera Cup 3.8 is now offered on a bill of sale in Evergreen, Colorado, with service records and a collection of spare and removed parts.

993 Cups were specified from the factory with a splitter, a raised rear wing, and tow points as well as an aluminum hood, lightweight glass, polycarbonate rear quarter windows, and no impact beams in the doors. The sound insulation, carpeting, headliner, passenger seat, power steering, hand brake, and heating system were also omitted, and a Matter FIA-approved roll cage was installed inside.

This example is finished in Guards Red and wears a multi-color livery in the style of a 1995 Porsche 993 Super Cup VIP. The factory front spoiler, hood, wing, bumpers, and other exterior components have been replaced with aftermarket carbon-fiber units, though the removed items are included in the sale. The seller notes that paint touch-up has been performed in various places to correct stone chips.

993 Cup cars featured four-wheel independent suspension and a 70mm lower ride height than the contemporary 993 road car with height-adjustable coilovers featuring stiffer springs and dampers. They also received upgraded brakes and a five-channel ABS system with a motorsport control unit. This example has air jacks and rides on 18″ center-lock Speedlines mounted with staggered Michelin rubber. The wheel bearings were replaced in September 2015, and the brake fluid was flushed in August 2023.

The cockpit houses a carbon-backed Recaro racing seat paired with a Schroth harness. Additional racing and safety equipment includes a Motorola radio, a Coolshirt system, and a Werner fire-suppression setup.

The MOMO steering wheel is mounted to a quick-release hub and fronts a column-mounted MoTeC C125 digital display. Factory VDO instrumentation consists of a 300-km/h speedometer, a 7,600-rpm tachometer, an analog clock, and auxiliary gauges. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows 16k kilometers (~10k miles).

The air-cooled 3.8L M64/70 flat-six was factory rated at 315 horsepower. It was rebuilt at a cost of over $50k in August 2015 by PMNA. An accompanying invoice and Engine Rebuild Certificate can be viewed in the gallery along with dynamometer test results from September 2015 that show peak output of 284 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The fuel filter was replaced in August 2023, and the oil was last changed at that time.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a six-speed G50/30 manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential, the former of which was rebuilt by Cervelli Technical Service in September 2015. The transaxle fluid was last changed in August 2023.

Various removed body panels are included in the sale along with a set of Recaro bucket seats, a Fuel Safe fuel cell, and other spare parts and components.

The car is not intended for road use and is sold on a bill of sale.
