In 1973 Porsche built 1,580 Carrera RS 2.7, in Sport, Touring and Racing versions. The enthusiastic welcome given by the fans to the new Carrera immediately put the Stuttgart company in serious difficulty, which after only three months from the start of production, had already sold the first 500 units of the first series and also the second, was placed with the same ease as the first.
The RS 2.7 was considered a “Homologation Special”, based on the 1973 2.4-liter 911S, which would later be used for the 1973 RSR 2.8, the 1974 RSR 3.0 and, finally, the 934 and 935 turbo.
The doors were molded in steel and aluminum alloy, therefore thinner and lighter than the previous models, as were the windows, which were given particular attention by Porsche in order to reduce the weight of the car. .
The reduction of the total weight of about 100kg, the more powerful engine and the improved aerodynamics, were the basis of the global success of this car, so loved by collectors all over the world.
The main distinguishing feature of the Carrera was the “Ducktail” rear spoiler which allowed to increase top speed and, at the same time, reduce the tendency to oversteer at high speeds.
Even the graphics of the livery, captivating and certainly aggressive, helped to enhance the overall chromatic contrast of this car, rightly considered the most coveted of the 70s, a true status symbol of the 70s and in those of to come.
The Carrera RS 2.7 formed the basis of a racing model, which would mark the history of motoring and achieve countless successes in the most important races in the world, in the decades to follow.
