(1974 - 1976)
Car articles about Porsche 911 RSR 3.0 by year
Forty years ago, Porsche presented the Carrera RS 2.7 for the first time in Paris to an astonished but eager-to-buy fan community. Even at Porsche, nobody would have believed that 1,580 of these vehicles would be built, and the sales department even had to be persuaded to sell the car! The road car was joined by a pure racing car, the RSR 2.8, followed a good year later by the two RS/RSR 3.0s with a strong racing design. This report summarizes the development of these two vehicles and compares the different brothers in detail in pictures. The article is supplemented by an original brochure, advertising subjects and lots of historical images.
For the 1974 model year, Porsche presented a completely revamped 911 as the so-called G-model. The new 911 not only proved itself in the test reports, but also in what is probably the only endurance test carried out by AMS magazine. This vehicle report portrays a Porsche 911 with 150 hp from 1975, summarizes contemporary test reports and shows the car in current and historical pictures. Enclosed are the sales brochure, price list, color charts and press documents. A complete documentation.
Buying a production car at the motor show and then taking part in the 24 Hours of Le Mans and finishing among the front runners? Impossible? Not so in 1975, because back then a Swiss team managed this scandal and the car survived! This report presents the car and tells the crazy story with all the exciting details.
When Porsche launched the 911 Turbo, the first European production sports car with a turbocharger, in 1974, the signs on the horizon looked bad with the energy crisis and fears of inflation. But 500 planned units soon turned into thousands and even tens of thousands to date. Eight generations have been built to date, this report compares them and shows the air-cooled ancestors in particular in over 200 pictures.
With the Porsche Turbo, the Stuttgart-based sports car manufacturer raised the bar for super sports cars in 1974. At that time, nobody accelerated more brutally. The Zuffenhausen-based company managed to skillfully combine sportiness and comfort. The difference to the normal 911 had become so great as a result of many conversion measures that the new model was called the 930. By 1989, over 20,000 of the 930 had been built and contributed significantly to the growth of the German sports car manufacturer. Continuous model upgrades kept the 930 young. This report goes back over the history of the Turbo, shows various vehicles in pictures and is supplemented with early sales brochures, color charts and price lists. There is even a sound sample.
