RSR HISTORY
Many enthusiasts consider the 1973 911 RS the ultimate lightweight 911 and analog driving experience. It was the first 911 to be fitted with a rear spoiler and a performance DNA directly linked to Porsche’s racing experience. The RS inspired a series of dedicated RSR race cars that became a legendary success.
The 1973 911 2.8L RSR was the first race car in the RSR lineage and won the 24 Hours of Daytona outright in 1973. The 2.8 RSR’s were equipped with 9” flared fenders in the front and 11” flares in the rear wrapping deep dish 9x15 & 11x15 Fuchs wheels. The ubiquitous duck tail spoiler was retained for the 2.8 RSR’s as was the RS front spoiler albeit a bit wider to blend with the 9” front flares.

Interior
The interior is crafted to embrace the simplicity of form and function that best characterizes the interiors of early Porsche 911’s. The seats are custom sports seats inspired by the touring/competition seats of the late 60’s and early 70’s. Clients can choose from a myriad of leather and fabric options to create the interior of their vision. Seats can be provided in Touring or Competition configurations and can be provided with heater strips for cool weather driving. Each seat is conceptually designed in house and meticulously assembled with a focus on detail. The rear seats are deleted in the spirit of Porsche’s sports purpose 911’s and custom German square weave carpet is installed throughout. The dash, door panels, sun visors and any other interior trim pieces are covered in supple leather. A custom milled stainless steel shift knob is artfully matched with a custom stitched Momo/Nardi steering wheel which provides the perfect connection to the car through its artful craftmanship.
Luggage Compartment
A unique feature that exemplies Classic 9’s attention to detail is the front luggage compartment which is finished in a light weight perlon fabric molded to the contours of the chassis. A custom fuel tank, spare wheel/tire, front strut tie-bar and custom batter box are all standard features. The overall presentation of the compartment is highly refined, yet in character with the car.
