The 2.7 RS of 1973 was conceived as a pure homologation special, as Porsche needed to build 500 road-going examples to qualify the new car for Group 4 GT racing. The car on offer, #9113600054, is one of only 240 RS Lightweight models produced by Porsche. The RS was a substantially-modified variant of the already potent 2.4-liter 911S. By increasing displacement, introducing various weight-saving measures, stiffening the suspension, and fitting aerodynamic aids, Porsche created an unrivaled sports car.
