911 Carrera RS Clubsport
Limited racing edition
A true professional
The special "Clubsport" version of the Porsche 911 Carrera RS provides a basis for active racing participation. This vehicle, which can also be supplied registered for road use in some countries, is especially well suited for participation in endurance races such as the Nurburgring 24-hour race. As from now, Porsche is producing and delivering the 100 (left- hand and right-hand drive) units required for homologation in the FIA GT2 class for participation in international events. The Clubsport version is being sold at a price of DM l64,700. For this price, the customer receives a vehicle with certain additional safety equipment needed for racing. Each car has a welded roll cage, a cross brace, special bucket seats on the driver's and passenger`s side with six-point belt systems, a main battery switch and a fire extinguisher.
The aerodynamics of the Clubsport version have also been adapted for racing. In combination with the fixed rear spoiler with adjustable wing, the modified front spoiler ensures high negative lift with low wind resistance. Depending on the racing circuit, the angle of attack of the rear spoiler can be adjusted between zero and 12o. Air intake openings for combustion air and engine compartment ventilation are integrated in the rear spoiler.
The equipment of the Clubsport version is even more Spartan than that of the basic RS. The entire interior is painted in the colour of the bodywork, without any trims or sound deadening material. The double-mass flywheel is not fitted and an airbag is only available as an extra-cost option for the driver`s side. The engine and running gear are identical to those of the basic 911 Carrera RS.

Thanks Burzel an interesting post...I wasn't aware a drivers airbag was available as an option on the CS, can't say I have ever seen a car fitted with one.
"The engine and running gear are identical to those of the basic 911 Carrera RS."
The above quote was taken from the article.....they mention the dual mass flywheel was not fitted to the CS, but with respect to running gear....
I was always under the impression that the CS had slightly lower 5th & 6th gear ratios compared to the basic CS.
Maybe they missed that when it was proof read?
