Few vehicles in the collection of historic cars are as revered and respected as the Porsche 911.
Since its introduction in 1963, the 911 has become an icon of automotive design, renowned for its timeless styling, exceptional performance, and unparalleled driving dynamics.
One of the most sought-after variants of the 911 is the Carrera RS 2.7, produced in limited numbers between 1972 and 1973. Designed as a homologation special for racing purposes, the Carrera RS 2.7 is distinguished by its lightweight construction, potent engine, and track-focused features.
Powered by a 2.7-liter flat-six engine producing 210 horsepower, the Carrera RS 2.7 offered blistering performance that belied its modest displacement. With a top speed of over 150 mph and a 0-60 time of around 5.5 seconds, it was one of the fastest sports cars of its era.
But it wasn’t just straight-line speed that set the Carrera RS 2.7 apart; it was also a formidable competitor on the race track. With its widened rear fenders, aerodynamic spoiler, and stiffened suspension, the Carrera RS 2.7 was tailor-made for high-speed cornering and precise handling.
Today, the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 is highly coveted by collectors and enthusiasts alike, with pristine examples commanding seven-figure prices at auction. Its timeless design, legendary performance, and rich racing heritage ensure that it will forever hold a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts around the world.
Why would you want to turn a Porsche RS into a ’68 Mustang??? Okay, I got it. Your editor really f’d up.
But this is a really bad f’ up. Cheers!
