Carrera RS 2.7 was designed with a larger body that allowed more space for a bigger 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), which was remarkable for that time.

The intention was a sports car that is also suitable for the road. The model was produced from 1973 to 1974, and only 1580 units were produced.

To celebrate 50 years since the first RS model, Porsche recently presented the 911 GT3 RS, a road legal sports car that brings new aerodynamic and technological solutions.
