Fundamental changes in FIA regulations ended the mighty Porsche 917 sports prototype’s three-year reign over World Sportscar Championship racing after the 1972 season, leaving the 2.4L 911S as the basis for Porsche’s racing plans. Uprated into the Carrera 2.7 RS, the new racing-homologation Porsche model’s “RS” designation was short for Renn Sport, translated to English as racing, or motorsport. Porsche’s committed engineers aggressively cut weight with lightweight thinner-gauge steel for the body and lighter fiberglass bumpers, plus thinner window glass and more basic interior appointments including lightweight racing seats and simple straps rather than inner door handles.
Mechanically, the air-cooled flat-6 engine of the 911S was bored out and fuel-injected to become a 2.7L/210 HP powerhouse. Wider rear wheels and suspension upgrades were included as well. Extensive wind-tunnel testing resulted in the new Carrera’s distinctive “Bürzel” ducktail-style rear spoiler, which drastically reduced rear-end lift at high speed and remains the visual signature of the legendary 911 Carrera 2.7 RS. To the horror of Porsche’s sales department, Porsche needed to offer 500 race-specification Carreras to the public to comply with FIA homologation requirements.
To their surprise and relief, buyer demand far exceeded this level, beginning with more than 50 orders reportedly taken on the first day of the Carrera’s launch at the October 1972 Paris Salon. Ultimately, 1,590 Carreras were built between 1973 and into 1974, with production including a mere 200 hard-core M471 Lightweight models, plus the better-equipped M472 Touring versions. One of only 200 produced in all-out M471 Lightweight configuration, this 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 is a thrilling offering with the odometer reading just 15,949 kilometers (9,910 miles).
Per the Porsche Registry and other published marque experts, this example was delivered new to Italy and spent time in Switzerland before coming to the United States. The Type 911/83 air-cooled 2687cc/210 HP flat 6-cylinder engine bears Engine No. 6630573 and features Bosch mechanical fuel injection. The Type 915 5-speed manual gearbox is numbered 7830552. Other highlights include ventilated 4-wheel disc brakes, front independent suspension with MacPherson struts, a rear torsion-bar suspension, bucket seats, lightweight door panels and floor covering, an aluminum engine cover, Glaverbel safety glass and silver Fuchs wheels.
A racing legend with license plates, this 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera is exceedingly rare and ready to collect.
