Porsche Museum exhibited 911 Carrera RS models

This year, Porsche marks half a century since the appearance of the Porsche 911 Carrera RS on the market. It is a great success of the company from Zuffenhausen, which on this occasion allowed visitors to the Porsche Museum to see all RS models, including the naturally aspirated 911 Carrera RSR, which won world championship races including Targa Florio and the 24 Hours of Daytona.

It all started back in 1973 when the Carrera RS 2.7 had its premiere and was named after 356 Carreras while the RS was developed to meet the homologation requirements in motorsport. The car was designed with a larger body that allowed more space for a larger engine compared to the previous 911 models. In order to meet the sporty characteristics, which meant a reduction in weight below 1000 kg, thin steel and thinner glass were used in the construction of the car. All this resulted in the many victories that Carrera RS achieved in the FIA ​​​​races of Group 4.

The exhibition is called “Spirit of Carrera RS” and visitors will be able to see cars from Series 964, 993, 996, 997, 991 and 992. There is also a rare limited edition of the new 911 Sport Classic. The car is based on a 70s model, the 911 Carrera RS, and according to Michael Mauer, Vice President Style Porsche, “The new 911 Sport Classic is the first vehicle to feature Sport Gray Metallic paintwork.” It is powered by a 3.7-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine with 550 hp (405 kW). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 7-speed manual transmission. It is mounted on 20/21-inch alloy wheels. Porsche will produce only 1,250 copies of this model.

“The new 911 Sport Classic is the first vehicle to feature Sport Gray Metallic paintwork,” says Michael Mauer, Vice President Style Porsche. Also, the car will be offered in Black, Agate Gray Metallic, Gentian Blue Metallic or Paint to Sample.
