ENG - The Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS occupies a special place in automotive history. The first 911 to bear the ‘Carrera’ name, in tribute to Porsche’s victories in the Carrera Panamericana, it also introduced the prestigious ‘RS’ designation, standing for Rennsport. Designed for Group 4 homologation, it represents the perfect synthesis between road car and racing car, a philosophy that has enduringly shaped the legend of the 911.
Powered by a 2.7-litre flat-six engine, fitted with Bosch mechanical fuel injection and developing 210 horsepower, the Carrera RS 2.7 offered exceptional performance for its time. Its widened wings, ‘ducktail’ rear spoiler and low weight made it one of the most iconic Porsches ever produced.
Our example, a 1973 Carrera RS 2.7 Lightweight (M471), is one of only 200 produced. Delivered new in Switzerland in February 1973, it is finished in its original Grand Prix White livery with blue accents and a black KL interior, and was specified from new with the rare M220 limited-slip differential. Its history is notably well documented, passing through long-term enthusiast ownership in France before being acquired by Christian Tahon of Flat 6, who commissioned a full restoration in 2003 by Garage Ollier, returning the car to original specification. It was acquired by its current owner in 2007, who has maintained it with exceptional care- rebuilding the 2.7-litre magnesium-case engine in 2015, and the car now shows just over 92,200 km.
Today, this 911 Carrera RS 2.7 combines the qualities most sought after by collectors: an iconic ‘M471’ Lightweight specification, a fully documented history, extensive documentation, a recently rebuilt engine and a known provenance. It represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most legendary Porsches of all time, a seminal model whose aura continues to fascinate enthusiasts worldwide more than fifty years after its creation.
