1984 Porsche 911 Carrera SC RS Gruppe B “Evolutionsserie” is up for auction

Half a century ago, the German car manufacturer Porsche created a legend, the 911 Carrera RS. The plan was to produce 500 homologated cars for FIA competitions, but in the end over 1,500 cars were produced and sold. However, 10 years later the 911 Carrera SC RS was born, and less than two dozen were produced. One of the best remaining and documented Porsche 911 Carrera SC RS is for sale.

Its turbo-based body is aluminum, making it 600 pounds lighter than the 911 SC road car. The front and rear bumpers are made of fiberglass, the brakes are derived from the 917, and there are 935-style lollipop seats.

As a 1984 Tour de Corse was the final event of Tucho von Dijk’s WRC rally career, it is very likely that a fondness between the two was forged during the successful event. Chassis 21 was kept by Von Dijk until 2004. During those 21 years of ownership, the car has remained in remarkably unaltered state, which cannot be said for most SC RS cars with a high-level competition history.

Chassis 21 is the final of the type 954 911 SC RS built for FIA Group B rally competition by Porsche motorsport. This car finished 14th in the 1984 Tour de Corse. It is powered by a 3.0-L engine set at 7,000 rpm, which allows the car to reach 60 mph in 4.9 seconds.

The 911 SC RS is the missing piece of many collections, and this Chassis 21 is an exceptional opportunity for all collectors. The estimated price of the car is $2,600,000 – $3,500,000.

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.
