The seller offers for sale this 1978 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 replica, powered by a 3.0-litre air-cooled flat-six engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. This car is built on the chassis and mechanical base of a 1978 911 type G 3.0 SC and has been transformed into a tribute to the legendary 2.7 RS using a reinforced glass-fibre D. Moris Styling body kit. The 3.0 SC engine has been prepared to Carrera 3.0 specification with mechanical fuel injection and RSR-type suspension, while the 915 gearbox is fitted with a Wevo shifter. It also features 911 Turbo brakes, a hydraulic handbrake, sport seats, a harness and Sabelt steering wheel, a bolt-in roll cage and long-range driving lights. The seller indicates the car has covered around 11,000 km since the conversion.
The 911 Carrera RS 2.7 of 1973 is one of the most revered cars Porsche has ever produced, celebrated for its lightweight construction, distinctive ducktail rear spoiler and motorsport pedigree. Genuine examples are now among the most valuable of all classic 911s, which has made faithfully built tribute cars an appealing way to enjoy the look and spirit of the RS. This example takes the well-regarded 3.0 SC as its foundation, a robust and usable air-cooled platform, and combines it with RS-inspired styling and a competition-oriented specification.
For the enthusiast, the attraction of this car lies in the way it captures the purposeful character of the original RS while being based on a later, more usable mechanical platform. The uprated engine, RSR-style suspension and motorsport-inspired cockpit give it a focused, engaging feel, and the evocative RS bodywork makes for a striking presence. It offers an accessible route into the look and driving experience associated with one of Porsche’s most iconic models.
