History
One of the most desirable Porsches ever produced, the 1973 911
Carrera RS was built to allow Porsche to continue its success in
motorsport following the retirement of the 917. The goal was to
prepare an all-out campaign in the new European Grand Touring
Championship Group 5 with a 911-based model called the RSR. To meet
the FIA's production requirements, Porsche would have to construct
at least 500 examples of a Group 4-legal model with a 2.7-litre
engine that could be enlarged to the Group 5 maximum of 3.0 litres.
Using the 911 S as a starting point, the Carrera RS boasted
numerous changes in an effort to reduce weight and add power.
Weighing just 2,370 pounds, the Carrera RS boasted a top speed of
150 mph and a 0-60 mph time of just 5.5 seconds.
