The 1973 Porsche 911 is considered by all knowledgeable Porsche enthusiasts to be the single best 911 of all time. This is high praise when you consider the large number of 911 models that have been built over the 50+ years since the model's introduction. The Carrera RS (Renn Sport) is still to this day the benchmark 911, the beautiful lines only being matched by the sheer delight of driving it, with its positive steering, exhilarating sound and linear performance. The RS had a purity of purpose that was not compromised by outside factors. For this reason, the Porsche RS Replica or ‘back-date’ market has grown enormously and demand is far outstripping the supply of quality machines.

This ‘Tribute’ car presented here pays homage to the legendary ’73 2. 7 RS, echoing that famous silhouette very well. This car was recently professionally built by a well-respected Porsche specialist and has covered just over 100 miles since completion. It utilised a C16, RHD 1984 3. 2 Carrera coupé as its starting point, this being a healthy well-serviced example with a decent history file containing numerous invoices and MOT certificates documenting its conservative mileage.

This striking car, now reborn, looks resplendent in the classic combination of Grand Prix White with Guards Red decals, wearing period Fuchs alloy wheels with Bridgestone Porsche N-rated tyres. All panels are period correct, being ordered from Porsche, including new front wings, bonnet, front slam panel, sills, kidney bowls, rear quarters, fuel tank, and bumpers. All body seals are also new. The suspension has had new dampers and new Powerflex bushes as well as new engine and gearbox mounts. Uprated drilled sports discs have been fitted along with new calipers, uprated steel braided brake lines, and new wheel bearings. The 3. 2-litre engine has been comprehensively stripped down and rebuilt with new bearings, piston rings, chains, chain guides, chain tensioners, valve guides, gaskets throughout. Additionally, the car was treated to an air induction kit, a brand-new starter motor and a custom stainless-steel exhaust and heat exchangers. The 915 gearbox has been fully rebuilt with new synchro rings, dog teeth, a WEVO conversion with a proper gearbox gate shifter system, along with a WEVO short shifter and PSJ precision coupler. The gearbox now feels like a G50 box! There is a new clutch and flywheel and all gear linkage bushes have been replaced. New brake lines, fuel lines and oil return lines throughout, engine tinware, cam covers, cooling fan, oil cooler, oil tank and oil thermostat. The suspension components have been powder coated. All screws, piping, nuts and bolts have been replaced throughout the car with factory parts. The interior has had many brand-new parts and materials that include headlining, RS Perlon carpets throughout, Prototipo Steering Wheel, red 3-point seat belts along with 6-point race harnesses, Recaro race seats, RS door-cards, Pioneer stereo with Bluetooth connectivity, and white dial faces. Included with the car is a new factory service book, manuals, and wallet, plus a replica period toolkit and a brand new factory jack plus two new keys. Offered with the car is a free running-in service by its creators.

If like most of us, an original 1973 2. 7 RS is outside the budget, this superb 'homage' must surely be the next best thing.
