1988 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS Recreation

If the 911 is the best car Porsche ever built then the best 911 ever made is the 1973 Carrera 2.7 RS.

Despite initially being built to only satisfy a Group 4 homologation requirement of 500 units, the 911 2.7 Carrera RS proved to be immensely popular with enthusiasts. Porsche responded to demand by increasing the price and building a further 1,080 cars.

Over four decades later and that demand is stronger than ever with prices for the original cars continuing to soar skyward, a state of affairs that has inspired many a Porsche enthusiast to create an homage of what was one of the defining sports cars of its era.

Carrera Silver with Black Carrera script, Black perforated leather Rennsport seats, sunroof, a 1988 3.2 Carrera generation flat six air-cooled power unit with a power-upgrade, notchy G50 box, Bilstein shock absorbers, 16″ Fuchs on 7″ and 8″ widths with a Lightweight interior including pull handles and Prototipo steering wheel the masterfully built car offered is one of the finest 2.7 RS Recreations in the country.

Built between 2011-2012 and featuring electric windows, air-conditioning and a modern stereo with Bluetooth compatibility; from the correct glass fibre moulded bumpers and ducktail, to the pragmatic German approach to panel fit and flawless paintwork with a brilliant depth of finish and the painstakingly-well fitted interior trim this 911 is a one-inch-punch KO.

Seldom available to own and drive and recently the subject of a major mechanical overhaul this 2.7 RS Recreation is perfectly prepped to drive off the showroom floor and breathe fire into your weekend escape drives.

Something that has a wow factor that after you park, lock the door and walk away, makes you turn back for a second take, that is just phenomenally well executed and practical too makes this 911 one to own and invest in.
