There have been several award-winning cars from Porsche over the years, including the Porsche 911 of 1994. There are six trim levels to the 911, including Carrera 4, Speedster, Turbo 3.6, Carrera 2, Turbo Look, RS America, and Targa. The RS America version is one of the more popular options, outselling other configurations. Like in 1993 the popular 3.6 liter has made this a popular choice for coupe buyers nationwide.

Stop and Go

The restyled 911 RS America is equipped with a 3.6-liter six-cylinder engine that utilizes 12 valves. The engine is mated to a Getrag five-speed transaxle. This has resulted in an increase in horsepower and torque over the 1993 version.

The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The 911 uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. Load balancing is provided by coil front springs and coil in the rear.

Statistics

The 911 is 168.30 inches long, 65.00 inches wide, and 51.60 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 89.40 inches. It is able to seat 4 comfortably.

The listed retail price in 1994 (MSRP) was $64,990, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-low price. This price is in line with the industry average price for a two-door Coupe.

Fuel Efficiency

The fuel system for the 1994 911 is a Bosch Motronic design, using gasoline fuel. The fuel flow is controlled by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The fuel capacity of the fuel tank is 20.30 gallons.

The 911 RS America received a miles-per-gallon rating of 16 - 17 in-city driving and 23 - 25 when it came to highway driving. Being a gas-powered non-hybrid car, this was within normal parameters.

Parting Shots

The 1994 model year was very successful for the Porsche 911. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the RS America version) meant that buyers could find the version that best suited their needs.
