The heart of this vehicle is no compromise, but a statement:
An original Type 911/83 engine—that legendary 2.7-liter powerplant that made the true Carrera RS immortal. With 2,687 cm³, 210 PS at 6,300 rpm, and mechanical Bosch fuel injection, this engine delivers exactly what modern vehicles have lost: character. Spontaneous, mechanical, authentic. Supported by dry-sump lubrication with a 10-liter oil tank, an external oil cooler in the right wheel well, and revised components such as a new oil pump (964), new oil-pressure chain tensioners, and cylinder heads optimized for unleaded fuel. Power is transmitted via a revised 5-speed Type 915 transmission—direct, precise, and unadulterated. The suspension is consistently designed for an engaging driving experience: Bilstein dampers, reinforced torsion bars (29 mm rear, 22 mm front), front and rear stabilizer bars, and components from the 2.8 RS and Turbo models. The braking system combines technology from the 930 Turbo (3.3) with components from the 911 Carrera 3.2—stable, responsive, and confidence-inspiring. With a weight of only about 1,075 kg, the result is driving dynamics that don’t need to be measured to be understood. 0–100 kph in 5.8 seconds, 240 kph top speed—numbers that become irrelevant the moment you press the accelerator for the first time. Visually, the car is finished in classic Signal Orange—a color that is more than just paint. It’s a statement.
The body details typical of the RS model were implemented with great care: a faithful reproduction of the front spoiler with oil cooler flap (original 1973 Porsche RS replacement part), a rear spoiler with a metal frame (original 1973 Porsche RS replacement part), and authentic side sills from the Touring version (original 1973 Porsche RS replacement part). The interior also remains true to this philosophy: minimalist, driver-oriented, authentic. RS Touring equipment, original lightweight components, two bucket seats (original 1973 PORSCHE RS with knurled screws), and period details such as the Tripmaster and Halda rally instruments underscore this vehicle’s uncompromising standards. The overall look is rounded out by original Fuchs rims (7×15 front, 9×15 rear), a matching rally exhaust system with two tailpipes, and numerous other details that show: This wasn’t just built—it was understood. This vehicle isn’t an attempt to be something.
It is a rare opportunity to experience something authentic. For connoisseurs. For drivers. For people who know that an RS is more than just a name.
And despite 40 years of living and breathing Porsche enthusiasm—one realization remains that makes this vehicle special:
In all these years, I have neither encountered a comparable example—with this level of consistency, technical integrity, and charisma—nor has one come up for viewing in this form.
