Authentic Lineage
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) 911 360 0955 confirms this car’s factory specification. It is an original “Matching Numbers” Touring RS, initially delivered in Germany. With only 1,308 units produced in the M472 Touring specification, it is one of the most sought-after models of the classic Porsche era. As a Touring model, it combines the lightweight body concept with a more everyday-usable equipment package, including carpeting and sound insulation.
2.7-Liter Boxer Engine
The car is powered by the characteristic 2.7-liter (2,687 cc), 6-cylinder boxer engine. Delivering 210 hp, this powertrain provides the distinct throttle response and engaging, legendary RS performance. With a registered top speed of 240 km/h, it remains a highly capable and rewarding sports car today.
Exterior and Chassis
Finished in the factory-delivered, iconic Light Yellow (Code 6262), the exterior highlights the clean silhouette of the Coupé. The vehicle is based on a self-supporting steel body manufactured by Porsche / Karmann. To transfer the power effectively to the road and ensure a well-balanced stance, it features an independent suspension on the front and rear axles, paired with disc brakes all around for excellent deceleration and road grip.
Documentation and Registration
This 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Touring is technically prepared and exceptionally well-documented. It boasts a seamless ownership history with only four owners since its delivery. The car comes with an official condition report by renowned expert Jochen Bader. Following a careful restoration in 1989/1990 that focused heavily on originality, the vehicle recently received a comprehensive technical overhaul (partial restoration) in 2023 by the specialists at AutoFarm in the UK.
