e’ve experienced the RS on a number
of occasions, and even when compared
to later iterations of the breed we’ve
come away hugely impressed by its abilities. It may
not be quite as polished as its successors, but the
rawness remains a key part of its appeal, and as a
result it is very engaging. Accompanied by a great
noise – the lack of sound-deadening really cranks up
the aural drama – the razor-sharp throttle response
means you can make use of every part of the 260bhp,
and the 964’s lack of mass really tells. While it lacks
the ballistic pace of later iterations, the steering is
beautifully weighted and communicative, though
it’s matched to damping that is notably stiff – some
say too stiff for road use, which is the 964 RS's main
sticking point.
