The ducktail spoiler. Those iconic wide wheel arches. The debut of the Carrera nameplate. Germany’s fastest production car. A genre-defining Porsche legend was born in the shape of the Carrera RS 2.7.

The 911 Carrera RS 2.7 was first developed as a homologation special, with a limited number made to satisfy the demands of motor racing organisations to have road-legal versions of the race cars they approved for competition. At first, Porsche initially planned to build 500 examples in order to homologate the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 for Group 4 Special GT cars. It became a road-approved vehicle for customers who also wanted to compete in track events.

“An RS model made by Porsche is characterised by the most emotional relationship between the road and motorsport. This is the unfiltered driving experience that Porsche has represented for 50 years. The 911 Carrera RS 2.7 is a milestone in the Porsche sports car history and continues to shine today.” says Andreas Preuninger, current Head of Porsche GT Cars, today.
