Buyer’s notes
About the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7
The Carrera RS 2.7 existed to homologate Porsche’s Group 4 racer. The rules called for 500 road cars; demand took the total to about 1,580. Its 2,687 cc flat-six made 210 PS, and the ducktail spoiler and front air dam were working aerodynamics rather than styling. Each car was built as a Touring or as the lighter, sparer Sport.
What moves the price
- Version: Touring or Sport, as recorded on the factory build card (Kardex); the Sport, built in far smaller numbers, sits above the Touring.
- Originality: original paint and the original lightweight parts, such as the thin glass, are conditions of the top values.
- Provenance: a documented history that can be checked independently; a car converted to racing specification and back is not worth Touring money.
Before you buy, check
- The Kardex, before any serious discussion of price.
- Evidence that the lightweight components and paint are original to the car.
- Engine work by a specialist with RS 2.7 experience, and a record of correct oil levels: the engine will not forgive oil starvation.
