Half a century of the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7

It has been half a century since one of the most popular Porsche cars began to attract attention with its appearance, entering the hearts of enthusiasts of the most popular car brand. It is a Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 and a special exhibition will be set up at the brand museum in Stuttgart and will run from September 20, 2022.

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, 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).

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.

Simply, 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.
