Based on the 911 S, the Carrera RS was conceived to allow Porsche to compete in the FIA’s newly created race series for production cars. Recognisable for its “ducktail” rear spoiler, the model remains among the most revered in Stuttgart history.
Completed in May 1973, chassis number 1272 offered here was delivered new to Germany finished in Grand Prix White. The exterior was accented by Red side stripes and matching-colour wheels over a black leatherette and corduroy interior. Equipped from the factory with driver and passenger headrests, this Porsche was importantly configured with the “M472” option code to denote that it is one of just 1, 308 Touring examples that offered a dose of civility to the homologation special.
Sold originally in Düsseldorf, the Carrera RS 2. 7 Touring was retained by its first owner all the way through to 2002. It was then sold to Belgium for a 10-year stint with a second keeper prior to being acquired by the vendor in May 2013.
Furthermore, following a December 2025 inspection carried out by Porsche authority Mark Waring of Rennsport Classics, the 911 is noted for its overall original and very good condition. It is remarked that the car might once have been used for light competition but otherwise presents well. The chassis plate and stamped chassis number were judged to be authentic. The report summarises that while the correct engine type number and serial number are visible, they are not the original stampings. It is likely that the crankcase halves are replacement aluminium items manufactured in 1987 and have been restamped. The report is available to read in full in the history file.
Presented in its factory colours and boasting a short chain of just three owners from new, this Carrera RS 2. 7 Touring awaits its next adoring custodian. It is further supplied with a tool roll, spare wheel, and Pflegepass.
