An icon of sports car design from the moment of its announcement, Posche’s unveiling of the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 at the 1972 Paris Motor Show caused quite the stir. While the company was initially looking to homologate the model for competition in the FIA’s Group 4, which required the production of 500 street legal samples for homologation, customer demand far exceeded this with 1,580 examples built in total. Today, the Carrera RS 2.7 remains one of the most sought-after Porsche’s ever built, and the cornerstone of any great Porsche collection. According to the accompanying Porsche Certificate of Authenticity dated 2002, this 2.7 RS was completed in April of 1973 and delivered new to Munich in its native Germany. Originally finished in Light Yellow, the car was outfitted from the factory with electric windows, an electric sunroof, and a heated rear window. While it is not known how long the car remained in Germany, by the mid-1990s the car had emigrated to France and was registered in Normandy as of October 1995. It was there where the car was restored with new paintwork in its original Light Yellow, and the interior was retrimmed at the same time. Considering that the model was designed with spirited driving in mind, it is not unusual for 911 Carrera RS 2.7s to have lead storied lives, often leading to necessary replacements of important components which could often be easily sourced from more plentiful, lesser 911s, as opposed to finding original Carrera RS 2.7 components. A report carried out by ASCA S.r.l. of Milan in early 2025 shows that although the chassis is that of a correct 2.7 RS Touring, the engine currently fitted to the car boasts a Type 7R 2.7-litre engine casing fabricated in 1979 as a factory replacement. Furthermore, the Type 915 gearbox casing bears production dates of both 1975 and 1976. This report in its entirety can be found in the car’s history file. Considering the above, chassis no. 1046 would be an ideal candidate for historic racing or rallying, or for the keen driver looking to enjoy one of Porsche’s most iconic models on the open road.
