Restomod Porsche 911 Carrera RSR costs 375,000 euros

One of the world’s best companies specialized in restoring, rebuilding and tailoring a cult classic for Porsche enthusiasts, RSR Project, has revealed its new project based on the Porsche 911 Carrera RS.

This car pays homage to the original 1986 Rennsport Rennwagen (RSR) racing car. It’s finished in an instantly eye-catching Gulf Oil livery, and compared to the original, the front and rear bumpers have been removed. The hood is made of aluminum, while at the back there is a ducktail spoiler. Inside, new carpet, new headliner, original dash, upgraded gauges, racing shifter and roll cage grace the car’s interior.

The original 911 was powered by a 3.2-L engine, and in the RSR Project they decided to increase the volume to 3.4-L and 235 hp (175 kW). This is significantly less than half the power of current Porsche atmospheric flagships, but still enough for the driver to have great fun and enjoy driving. Also, the ECU has been modified, new high-performance camshafts, improved four-piston brake calipers, and Bilstein shock absorbers have been installed.

The car is mounted on 15″ rims wrapped in Michelin TB-15 tires.

When it comes to price, this restomod Porsche 911 RSR costs 375,000 euros.

Auctions

Ultra-rare 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.0 is up for auction

In 1972, Porsche unveiled a special version of the 911 model, the Carrera RS, which was developed to meet the homologation requirements in motorsport. Two years later, the Carrera RS 3.0 was developed with Carrera RSR 3.0 homologation, and only 55 examples were produced. All the cars were sold to racing teams, and very few survived. One of the best preserved examples in existence, the 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.0 is up for auction.

The car is finished in Grand Prix White with striking Gold lettering over a Midnight leatherette interior, and is in excellent condition. While sharing many design cues with the Carrera RS 2.7, the Carrera RS 3.0 received wider Fuchs wheels, ventilated disc brakes borrowed from the 917, and strengthened chassis and suspension components. The five-digit odometer shows 29,453 kilometers (~18,302 miles).

This car was a demonstration car for prospective buyers, and after the duty was done, it was sold to the first owner, Sydney Butler, in the United States, and that’s when the interesting story of this car begins. After three years of ownership, Butler sold the car to his friend Charles Stoddard, and it was not the first time he encountered this car. When Porsche premiered this model, a number of people were able to enjoy a demonstration drive around the Hockenheimring, and Charles was in the passenger seat in this car driven by Jürgen Bart. He owned the car for 20 years, kept it in the garage and maintained it as needed. The car was then sold to Japan to return to the United States in 2004, and was sold to the current owner in 2017 when it became part of the White Collection.

The Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.0 is powered by a 3.0-L engine with around 230 horsepower. It is fitted with the original Pirelli tires that were present on initial delivery.

The auction will take place August 15 – 17, 2024 in Monterey, and the estimated value of the car is between $1,600,000 – $1,800,000 USD.
