Even after the restoration was completed, consistent investments continued: In 2025, an extensive engine and mechanical overhaul costing €15,500 was performed , including additional work on the suspension and mechanical systems. Most recently, the Weber twin carburetors were overhauled, and the ignition system, wiring, spark plug connectors, iridium spark plugs, distributor, and distributor fingers were replaced or refurbished.
The goal of the rebuild was to combine the iconic form and original character of an early Porsche 911 Targa with the significantly more performance-oriented driving characteristics of a 2.7 RS Touring.
At its heart is a meticulously rebuilt 2.7-liter six-cylinder boxer engine rated at 211 PS, combined with a fully overhauled Porsche 915 five-speed transmission, a Bilstein sport suspension in Porsche 930 Turbo specification, an optimized braking system, and original 7- and 8-inch Fuchs rims.
Since the completion of the full restoration, the car has been driven approximately 36,900 km.
The vehicle was not built as a mere showpiece, but rather as a technically sophisticated Porsche designed for driving, and has been consistently maintained and further optimized over the years.
Nut-and-Bolt Restoration
The restoration went well beyond a classic cosmetic refurbishment.
The vehicle was completely disassembled, and the body was thoroughly rebuilt from the ground up on a rotisserie frame. Load-bearing and structurally critical areas were professionally repaired and rebuilt.
In addition to the extensive bodywork, virtually all major technical assemblies were overhauled or replaced. The vehicle’s wiring was also completely replaced.
Particular emphasis was placed on the quality of the components used and the technical execution.
Parts worth approximately €50,000 alone were installed during the restoration—not including the considerable labor involved in disassembly, bodywork, rebuilding, assembly, adjustment, and fine-tuning.
The entire restoration process is extensively documented. Detailed photographic documentation of the restoration, as well as corresponding invoices and technical documentation, are available.
2.7-liter RS Touring engine – 211 PS registered
At the heart of the vehicle is the meticulously rebuilt air-cooled 2.7-liter six-cylinder boxer engine.
The engine was built with the goal of combining the characteristic power delivery of a classic 2.7 RS Touring with a tuning suitable for road use.
Technical specifications include, among other things:
- 2.7-liter displacement
- Mahle pistons
- 40-mm Weber twin carburetors
- Custom dyno tuning
- 211 PS registered power output
- Documented test bench report
The performance upgrade is therefore not merely part of the vehicle’s build, but is properly documented and registered.
Since the restoration was completed, two documented service procedures have been performed.
Engine inspection and technical overhaul in 2025 – over 15,000 €
A key difference from many vehicles restored years ago is that, even after the restoration was completed, significant investments were continuously made in the vehicle’s technical condition.
In 2025, another extensive engine inspection and technical overhaul was performed, with a total cost of over 15,000 €.
As part of this work, repairs were made to the engine, and technical and chassis components were overhauled or replaced.
The corresponding invoice and documentation are available.
This means that this is not a classic car whose technical condition relies solely on a restoration carried out long ago. Rather, the vehicle has been consistently maintained and technically upgraded ever since.
Recent technical work—Weber carburetor and ignition system
In addition to the extensive overhaul in 2025 , further investments have recently been made in engine peripherals, fuel mixture preparation, and the ignition system.
The 40-mm Weber twin carburetors have been overhauled and refurbished once again.
At the same time, the ignition system was comprehensively renewed and overhauled.
The current work includes, among other things:
- Overhaul of the Weber twin carburetors
- Inspection and tuning of the carburetor system
- Replacement of the ignition wiring
- New spark plug boots
- Iridium spark plugs
- New distributor
- New distributor finger
- Replacement of the wiring to the distributor
- Additional work on the ignition system
Following the extensive overhaul in 2025, this represented another targeted investment in the engine’s reliable operation and precise tuning.
Fully overhauled Porsche 915 five-speed manual transmission
Installed is a fully overhauled, later-generation Porsche 915 five-speed manual transmission with electronic speed-sensor control.
The 915 transmission harmonizes perfectly with the powerful 2.7-liter boxer engine and underscores the vehicle’s classic, mechanical character.
The combination of low vehicle weight, 211 PS, and a classic five-speed manual transmission significantly defines the unique character of this 911.
Bilstein sport suspension in 930 Turbo specification
The suspension and braking system have also been thoroughly tuned to the increased engine power.
A high-quality Bilstein sport suspension in Porsche 930 Turbo specification has been installed.
As part of a recent technical overhaul, additional suspension components were also replaced.
The braking system was also tuned to the higher power output and optimized accordingly.
The engine, transmission, suspension, and braking system thus form a harmoniously integrated overall package.
Original 7″ and 8″ Fuchs rims from the first Turbo
Another high-quality detail is the set of original Porsche Fuchs wheels in 7- and 8-inch sizes. These were refurbished in Switzerland to preserve the wheels’ original matte finish
Together with the corresponding high-quality tires , approximately €6,000 was invested in the wheels and tires alone.
The wider Fuchs combination complements the vehicle’s RS Touring-oriented setup perfectly—both visually and in terms of driving dynamics—and underscores the classic appearance of the early 911.
Significant Investment
The value of this vehicle stems not only from its exterior appearance or individual technical components, but especially from the extraordinary depth of the entire rebuild.
During the restoration alone , parts worth approximately €50,000 were installed—not including labor.
Added to this are the extensive efforts involved in disassembly, body restoration, rebuilding, assembly, and tuning, as well as subsequent investments in further technical optimization.
In 2025 and 2026 alone , more than €19,000 was invested in technical upgrades. Added to this is the work currently being carried out on the Weber twin carburetors and the ignition system.
These ongoing investments demonstrate a commitment not only to presenting the vehicle at a high visual standard but also to consistently maintaining and further developing its technical integrity.

Conclusion
This Porsche 911 Targa combines the iconic design language and the raw mechanical character of an early F-model with the significantly more performance-oriented driving characteristics of a 2.7 RS Touring.
Its uniqueness does not lie in any single component. What sets it apart is the overall concept and the extraordinary depth of restoration: a complete nut-and-bolt rebuild, a high-quality 2.7-liter engine with 211 registered PS, Weber twin carburetors, a rebuilt 915 transmission, 930 Turbo suspension specifications, high-quality Fuchs wheels, and continuous technical investments right up to the very recent past.
The vehicle is aimed at drivers and collectors who are not looking for an original Carrera RS, but rather a transparently documented, exceptionally high-quality classic 911 Targa with authentic RS Touring character and excellent technical condition.
The extensive documentation allows for a detailed understanding of the restoration, rebuild, and subsequent technical investments.
