Two days ago, a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 owned by Paul Walker was sold at auction. It is a car from the private collection of the deceased actor from the “Fast and Furious” film franchise. Although it was estimated that the car could be sold for between $1 million and $1.25 million, this did not happen. The new owner paid only $975,000 for the car.

It all started 49 years ago when the Carrera RS 2.7 had its premiere. Only 1,580 examples were produced and it was named after the 356 Carrera while the RS was developed to meet the homologation requirements in motorsport. It weighs less than 1,000 kg.

The car was designed with a larger body that allowed more space for a larger engine compared to the previous 911 models, which now developed 210 hp (150 kW). It is equipped with new suspension, wider rear wheels and rear fenders for 185 / 70VR15 (front) and 215 / 60VR15 (rear) Pirelli Cinturato CN36 tires. For better aerodynamics and greater downforce, the designers have designed a duck tail. All this allowed the Carrera RS 2.7 to reach 62 mph in 5.8 seconds with a top speed of 152 mph (245 km/h).

This Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 is powered by a naturally aspirated 2.7L flat 6-cylinder engine with 210 hp (150 kW). The car is in excellent condition with only 58,268 miles (93,774 km) on the odometer. It is painted in Light Yellow-code 62 color with Black accents, and it is decorated with chrome parts on the windows and headlights. Comes with Porsche Certificate of Authenticity and FIA paperwork.
