Photo Gallery «Porsche Carrera RS - on the trail of the legend»
Porsche presented the Carrera RS in 1972. Fearing that the targeted 500 units would not be sold, the minimalist lightweight sports car was sold almost exclusively with a touring or sports package. But the fear proved to be unfounded - 1580 RSs were built. Today, they are worth many times their original price and are among the most valuable 911s ever. This report attempts to answer the question "Does the Carrera RS really deserve this exceptional position?" and shows a model from 1973 in many pictures, supplemented by historical illustrations, price lists and a sound sample.
