Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3,0

1974 PORSCHE 911 CARRERA 3.0 RS – Maxted-Page Limited 

One of six, right-hand drive Porsche Carrera 3.0 RS Coupes ever built by Porsche.

This special group of cars form an exclusive part of a total of just fifty-four Carrera 3.0 RS Coupes built by the factory and which homologated a further-developed RS for the 1974 model year ‘G-Series’ body enabling development of the Group 4 3.0 RSR. The 3.0 RS was road legal and fitted with a 2933cc (type 911/77) 230hp single-plug engine, which was perfectly suited to either road use or for Group 3 competition and rallies. As with the 2.7 Carrera RS, its 3.0-litre successor was lightened by the use of thin-gauge steel, simplified interior with lightweight equipment and fibreglass front and rear bumpers, engine and bonnet lids. The steel front wings were widened to accommodate 8-inch-wide Fuchs 5-stud alloy wheels at the front and 11-inch rims at the rear, whilst for circuit use, 9-inch front and 14-inch rear rims could be fitted. Porsche 917 brake callipers were also fitted all round as standard equipment on the Carrera 3.0 RS, which completed the package.
