The RS was built so that Porsche could enter racing formulae
that demanded that a certain minimum number of production cars were
made. Compared with a standard 911S. the Carrera 2. 7 RS had a
larger engine (2687cc) developing 210hp. revised and stiffened
suspension. a 'ducktail' rear spoiler. larger brakes. wider rear
wheels and rear bumpers. The image of the white car with coloured
script along its flanks has seamlessly passed into motoring legend
and has itself been used as a marketing tool by Porsche for many of
its later lightweight cars. Performance aside. it is the image and
styling that made the Carrara RS the success story that it is
today and it is that image that is offered now. But more than that. br/>it is coupled with a far more drivable Porsche underneath. with a
bigger engine. a more comfortable ride and a few more creature
comforts.

Starting life in Stuttgart in 1979 as a three litre SC. br/>this car is described as completely rust-free. It was stripped
completely back to a bare shell and converted to a 1973 911RS
specification with the benefit of a late 3. 2 Carrera engine
complete with later injection system and a 915 gearbox with
additional oil-cooler. The servo assisted brakes along with sport
suspension set up (lowered for fast road) also makes for an
impressive exterior stance. It was painted in original 1973 Viper
green with a contrasting black decal set. backdated light-weight
front GRP wings. light-weight RS long nose bonnet and light-weight
RS bumpers. front and rear. The lights are also correct for the
period. as are the 7 x 16 and 8 x 16 Fuch alloys in
two-tone black/silver. The door frames. handles and window
surrounds have been polished and the interior has been completely
stripped and replaced with a 1973 RS specification Perlon carpet
set. The bucket seats are new and your connection with the road is
through a Momo Prototipo steering wheel. A striking and extremely
rapid rendition of the period 1973 2. 7 litre RS.
