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.

Modified 1963 Porsche 356B Coupe is up for auction

Whether it’s an original or a modified car, any example of Porsche’s first production car will attract attention. Such is the case with this Outlaw-style 1963 Porsche 356B Coupe that is for sale.

Under the bonnet is a replacement 2.2-liter flat-four equipped with dual Weber 48 IDA carburetors, an alternator conversion, and a stainless-steel sport exhaust with Magnaflow mufflers. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a WEVO-built five-speed manual transaxle using rebuilt 914 internals. It is mounted on satin metallic black Hot Rods By Boyd 16×5.5″ wheels wrapped in 195/60 Michelin Premier A/S tires.

In 2020, the car was purchased disassembled, stripped to bare metal and equipped with replacement components and repainted in metallic brown. The owner chose Outlaw-style so all the holes for the bumper were filled, custom billet door handles were installed along with Talbot bullet-style mirrors and Flat6 LED headlights, louvers were added to the dual-grille decklid along with cutouts for the exhaust outlets, and the glass was replaced. There are also Koni shocks, and a CSP four-wheel disc brake conversion kit with drum-style hubs, and overhauled suspension.

Inside, Zims-style aluminum bomber seats are trimmed in brown leather that also covers the dash pad, door panels, and rear bulkhead. In front of the driver is a Moto-Lita wood-rimmed steering wheel and a five-digit odometer showing 51,814 miles (total mileage unknown). Accessories include a roll bar with Schroth harnesses, a 917-style wooden handle, black rubber mats that protect the dark brown square-weave carpets, and a Blaupunkt multi-band radio. A diamond-stitched leather mat lines the front trunk, which houses an Optima Red Top battery and a blade-style fuse panel.

The car comes with build documents and photos as well as a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The auction ends on August 1st and the highest bid at the time of writing was $103,560 USD.
