The 911 had solidified itself as Porscheâs successful and iconic flagship sports car by the early 1970s. Originally introduced in 1964, the enthusiastsâ base had established this was the go-to drivers car for its performance and handling. Porsche wasnât satisfied though, and due to the companyâs successes in the motorsport world with their previous 911 iterations in various categories, they wanted to elevate its underdog to a whole different level, a higher performance spec to maintain that competitiveness while still, retaining racing requirements. Nobody, not even the enthusiasts, anticipated how Porsche was going to take them by surprise. The development team, led by Ernst Fuhrmann, had one objective in mind, and that was to turn the 911 into one of a kind, well balanced speed demon. The original 911 Carrera was capable of putting down 193 horsepower but Porsche was unsatisfied, they knew their clientele base wanted more and wanted to do better so they managed to break into the 200hp club, landing at 213hp. Knowing what Porsche stood for, however, they couldnât just keep squeezing power out without improving handling dynamics. Hermann Burst, an aerodynamicist, was the genius behind adding a ducktail rear spoiler to make the car more stable at higher speeds by producing rear-end downforce and reducing drag. For the first time ever, different sized tires were fitted for the front and rear which would only enhance the stability. As a result, it was reported this was the first Porsche to throw 0.9 lateral G Forces while breaking a top speed record of 150mph and would be known as the RS touring spec. The improvements and advancements Porsche made to the 911 Carrera would have needed to fulfill FIAâs Group 4 racing category that was catered to production sports cars, which meant producing a certain amount of road-legal versions of this new and improved 911 to be qualified for official racing events. With that in mind, Porsche would take their enthusiasts by storm through releasing this limited production RS spec of the Carrera S to the world at the Paris Motor Show in October of 1972 and had sold 500 units by November, just a month later. The Carrera RS immediately showcased its newly developed talents by winning numerous international competitions which include the following and many more: GT European Championship, Polish GT Championship, Polish Rallye Championship, Swedish GT Championship, and the German Rallye Championship. The RS immediately became Porscheâs new flagship, road legal racecar representing the brandâs engineering, racing pedigree, and continued to embrace Porscheâs design innovation, driver feel, and performance, and kept the brandâs reputation within the realm of exceptional high-performance sports cars. This particular 911 RS was first sold new through Mahag Porsche dealership in Munich, in 1973. It had resided in Germany through various owners and during those ownerships, participated in many road rallies. It took part in the Tour of España in 2001 driven by owner Dr. Martin Jorgens, Tour Auto in 2005, and Spa Francorchamps in 2008. It was sold to Koch Klassik in Germany in 2011 and was once again sold in 2012 to Jeffrey Sprecher.
