The 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 stands as one of the most iconic and coveted sports cars ever produced, born from the necessity of Group 4 homologation for the FIA's European GT Championship. Porsche needed to build 500 examples to qualify, and to their surprise, the initial run sold out almost immediately, leading to a total production of just 1,580 units across three series. Distinguished by its signature "ducktail" spoiler, wider rear wheel arches, and lightweight construction, the RS 2.7 was a street-legal racer, celebrated for its razor-sharp handling and the thrilling performance of its 210-horsepower 2.7-liter flat-six engine. It remains a benchmark for driver involvement and a legendary chapter in the 911's storied history. This particular offering is a meticulously crafted tribute to that legendary RS 2.7, having undergone a no-expense-spared restoration that captures the essence and visual drama of the original. While true RS 2.7s command multi-million dollar figures, this build offers an opportunity to experience the aesthetic and much of the dynamic spirit. Under the rear decklid lies a potent 2.8 RSR Twin Plug engine, a significant upgrade that promises exhilarating performance and a truly race-bred soundtrack. With only 400 miles since its comprehensive restoration, this manual coupe is ready to deliver an authentic air-cooled experience, channeling the spirit of Porsche's most celebrated homologation special.
