1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Lightweight (M471)
The 1973 RS was the Homologation-Series 911 Porsche had to build in order to qualify its pure racing 2.8-litre 911 RSR for Group 5 competition. The FIA mandated that at least 500 examples of the RS were required, so Porsche set to work. Two versions were offered, both based on the 1973 911S 2.4 coupe, a touring version M472, which retained much of the interior trim and features of the standard car and a Lightweight/Sport option M471 was the racing-oriented basis for the RSR.
One of 200 M471 RS Lightweights produced, the early history of chassis 9113600810 is well known. 0810 was delivered new in 1973 to German Rally Ace Heinz Walter Schewe in the rare and desirable special-order colour code 328, Gulf Blue.
