This Porsche 911 is built as a 1974 RSR tribute. To understand what a 3.0 RS is, we attach a small explanation:
THE REAL DEAL
In early 1973, Porsche poured newfound competition resolve into the 911 platform by building the 2.7-liter Carrera RS, a homologation special that allowed them to race a 2.8-liter Carrera RSR under the factory banner. A year later, Stuttgart used the same basic approach to homologate a 3-liter RSR factory race car. But while the 1973 Carrera RS was built in an unexpected tide of 1,580 examples, the 1974 Carrera RS 3.0 was manufactured in a comparatively small run of just 55 cars.
In addition to receiving a larger 3-liter engine displacement, the former type 911/72 engine was upgraded with new cylinder heads with larger inlet ports, and larger inlet and exhaust surfaces for the valve heads. Cars specified for Group 4 regulations also received twin-plug ignition. Most significantly, the crankcase material was switched from pressure-cast magnesium to a more durable die-cast aluminum alloy. With such bullet-proof construction, the motor could be race-tuned to develop as much as 330 horsepower, though in standard street guise the RS 3.0 put out around 230. Such power propelled the low-weight car to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds and a top speed of 155 mph.
The 3.0’s chassis was essentially that of the prior 2.7-liter version, though the rear torsion bars and anti-sway bars were reinforced, the Fuchs wheels were widened by an inch at front and rear, and the ventilated disc brakes were derived from the legendary 917 race car. The bodywork was also modified, incorporating elements of the 2.8 RSR factory racer, as well as paneling from the concurrent model-year G-Series. Features included a deeper front bumper to accommodate a larger oil cooler, wider front and rear fenders, thin-gauge steel paneling and thin-gauge glass, and a large rubber-edged whale tail to replace the 2.7’s ducktail.
Despite being a precursor to the factory-campaigned 3.0 RSR, the Carrera RS 3.0 still made a competition impact, including a 12th-overall finish at the 1974 24 Hours of Le Mans. Particularly rare among the 1970s Porsche homologation specials, the powerful Carrera RS 3.0 has evolved into one of the marque’s most collectable 911-based race cars, as an indelible link in the 911’s legendary competition evolution.
OUR CAR
It was diligent for us to make the car look like a real RSR. It is based on a 912 1967 model.
BODY
The lid and spoiler comes from a true 3.0 RS, body is sandblasted / dry-iced and painted in the correct Porsche 908 Grand Prix White (inside and out). The wings are widened in steel as 3.0 RS. Sticker "Carrera" are correct in gold. Vintage Tag Heuer stickers that date from the 70's. Trunk fasteners in rubber (correct). Mirror Porsche original. Brightwork in correct matte black. Doors modified inside as RSR.
WHEELS
10” and 8” Fuchs (16 instead of 15 to find more tires in right size). Centers painted gold and hand polished finish. New tires
INTERIOR
Lightweight mats as RS, Lightweight door sides with leather belts and Fiat 600 door handles, Momo Prototipo steering wheel, soundproof, seats newly manufactured replicas BF Torino (similar to Porsche RS seats). 70's Schroth four point harness.
BRAKES
Ventilated 3.2 liter Carrera Brakes
SUSPENSION
Thicker roll bars, KONI shock absorbers, lowered.
TRANSMISSION / ENGINE
Engine is from 3.0 SC 204 hp (has possibly 3.2 cylinder sets, but this cannot be documented). In any case, goes very well. This car is much faster than an original 911 SC. Power estimated to equivalent to real RSR - about 230 hp. (The engine is serviced with new plugs NGK, filters, oil and hoses. Valves adjusted. Gearbox 915.
The car is built as a tribute to the 1974 RS. It is correct in many details but not all. A real 1974 RS with similar appearance went for $ 1.375.000 at Sothebys auctions this year. That is NOK 11.600.000.

In other words, this is a lot of car for the money. Here you can enjoy the fun and looks of a 1974 RS, without fear of destroying the collection value. The car is a lot of fun to drive and a very fast classic. Ready for deliverly now.
