Why it matters
The Clubsport was the more extreme, still road-legal version of the 993 Carrera RS 3.8, which Porsche built to homologate its 3.8-litre RSR for GT racing. Auction catalogues describe the RS 3.8 as the last air-cooled competition-derived Carrera RS.
How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.

02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |

| Total model productionapprox. units produced | 2271 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Porsche added the Carrera RS 3.8 to the 993 range in January 1995 as a lightened, more powerful two-seater based on the rear-drive Carrera. The 3.8-litre engine had a bore increased by 2 mm for 3,746 cc and was rated at about 300 bhp.
The Clubsport (option M003) added a welded-in roll cage, bucket seats, harnesses and other race equipment. Sources disagree on how many were built: Bonhams and one RM Sotheby’s lot say 100 for FIA GT2 homologation, while Gooding and another RM lot say 227 of the 1,104 RS 3.8 cars had the M003 package.
