A real winning machine, the Stuttgart-based firm set new standards in performance at the end of the 1960s and the beginning of the following decade. The mythical rivalry with Ferrari quickly turned in favour of the German manufacturer, particularly at the Le Mans 24 Hours, with 5 Porsche victories between 1970 and 1979. Prototypes are obviously at the forefront, but it is impossible not to mention the one that made Porsche famous throughout the world, the 911. It made its racing debut in 1965 and has never disappeared from the racing scene or from motor racing until today. In fact, it is still one of the most successful GTs wherever it is entered. Designed for competition, the first 911 Carrera RS appeared in 1972, with the 2.7L version and its famous duck tail. A lighter and more powerful version of the "basic" 911, it evolved rapidly with the arrival of the 3.0 RS in 1974, which was distinguished by the reinforcement of the torsion bars and stabilizer bars at the rear, the widening of the tracks at the front and rear, and the installation of ventilated disc brakes derived from the legendary 917. The bodywork is also significantly revised, with a larger front bumper to hold the largest oil cooler, wider fenders and a much larger spoiler than the 2.7 RS. The heart of the 3.0 RS, its engine, is absolutely robust, easily developing up to 330 hp, 100 more than the original. The forerunner of the 911 3.0 RSR, which arrived the same year, the Carrera RS 3.0 was only produced in 55 units during the period, although to date a large number of replicas can be seen at the meetings. history around the world. The Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.0 that we present to you on these pages is one of them. Entirely built in 2017, it is a 1980 911 SC (shown on the registration document) that will be used as a base. Eager to compete in historic competitions, its owner entrusts the construction of this 911 Carrera RS 3.0 to an Italian workshop in 2016, while the mechanics are managed by the engine manufacturer Duquenne Moteurs in Saint-Hippolyte-du-Fort. The total cost of the engine alone amounts to just over €20,000.
