Seller's comments about 1990' Porsche 911
- 1 of 50 964 Cup cars produced for the inaugural season in 1990
- extensively raced in period, including a 4th place finish overall at the 24 hours of Nürburgring in 1991
- original condition after many seasons of club racing
- eligible for a wide range of motorsport events
This Car
This car, number 33 of 50 produced for the 1990 season, was sold new to the veteran German driver Rolf Rosenkranz in February 1990. Rosenkranz, who raced with Uwe Alzen finished 20th of the 50 cars that season. Rosenkranz continued to race the car in 1991 competing in Porsche Cup at the British and Belgian Grands Prix though the car’s racing highlight was in the 1991 24 hours of Nürburgring where it finished 3rd in class and 4th overall, narrowly being beaten by the 964 of Uwe Alzen.
Rosenkranz sold the car in 1992 to a collector in Germany before it was sold to Philip Harris in 1998 who imported the car to the UK and was very successful behind the wheel of it in Porsche Club and Intermarque races. In 2001, the car was sold to Ben Rapp who continued to race it. The previous owner bought the car in 2013, and with the help of Rolf Rosenkranz totally restored it to original specification. The car retains its matching numbers engine and gearbox and is accompanied by an extremely substantial history file documenting the cars’ racing career and restoration.
Our Thoughts
The car naturally drives similarly to a 964 RS, being remarkably pure to drive with the lack of power steering improving road feel and adding to engagement. The engine is free revving and aggressively cammed making for a rewarding driving experience that seems both simple and satisfying today.
As one of the first 50 Cup cars, this car is historically significant, the first of the Cup car lineage and the first 911 designed especially for the Carrera Cup which now comprises of 13 series globally.
The history of this car is extremely well documented with hundreds of period photos, newspaper and magazine extracts as well as correspondence with the car’s original ower, Rolf Rosenkranz. The restoration of the car was well documented too. A 964 Cup in this condition is very rare and while it is registered for road use this car is highly eligible to participate in a plethora of historical racing events across Europe.
The striking white and red livery is attractive but we also wonder whether the Starlight Express / District Hotels livery wouldn’t be even better and more ‘period correct’…
The Porsche Supercup is arguably the world’s most prestigious one-make series, and certainly has a unique status as a Formula One support race for decades. Famously it started with 944 Turbo cars but then changed to using a lightweight, ‘delete-spec’ 911 from 1990 onwards.
