Project Car: 1974 Porsche 911 3.0 RSR Fia Racecar
A fully race-ready FIA-approved 1974 Porsche 911 3.0 RSR Replica, with HTP papers valid until 2029 (Period H1- 1972 to 1975, FIA Class GTS 27), built to exacting RSR specification including an MCE-built 330bhp 3.0MFI slide-throttle twin-spark engine, race-reinforced 915 gearbox with LSD, full RSR coil-over suspension and brakes package, BBS rim-sets for road and slick tyres, FIA roll-cage, plumbed fire suppression and an extensively lightweighted GRP over steel body achieving a 920kg kerb weight. This very special car has previously competed in club-level competition in Europe and the UK prior to it's recent rebuild, and now also benefits from UK V5 road registration and a current MOT.
Extensive race history as an RS in Europe, now fuly rebuilt to 1974 3.0 RSR spec:
Based on a 1976 shell fully stripped to bare metal and rebuilt with weight reduction paramount, modified to FIA-compliant rear suspension pick-up points for RSR steel arms, coil-overs, front RSR oil cooler and a full cage, coupled with a race-prepared 3.0 RSR engine and transmission, this car must surely have one of the greatest power-to-weight ratios available for any naturally-aspirated 911, let alone a period-correct '70s era FIA-approved RSR. At 358bhp/tonne, this car surpasses even the 911 GT3RS of today, incredible considering the 50 years of development between them. And it does this with no electronic driver aids, no power steering, no servo-assisted brakes and no water-cooling. If a modern GT3RS seems just a little bit boring, or you want to go historic racing with a car that feels 100% authentic to the original, this is the car for you.......
