The US dealers optioned the cars quite heavily so most have air conditioning fitted along with stereo systems and sunroof etc. In addition, the cars were fitted with a fixed rear spoiler instead of the electric automatic one.
Despite the original claim that the cars were 200lbs lighter than a standard US Carrera 2 the reality was that most delivered cars were only 50lbs lighter - or, put another way, the same weight as a standard RoW Carrera 2!!
The video to the right is a Motor Week road test of the RS America aired for the first time in 1993.
