Rennsport Reunion IV

From the Garage Display - Historic 911 racers

1967 911 R - Factory efforts to lighten the car with fiberglass fenders decklids and bumpers, aluminum hinges, and plexiglass resulted in a weight savings of 450lbs over the production 911. 22 examples were made, three were kept by the factory and 19 sold to privateers.

1971 911 ST East African Safari Rally Car. The ST featured thinner gauge steel than the 911R, and this one was driven by Bjorn Waldegard with navigator Lars Helmer in the African event. Sears tires (a sponsor) were then made by Michelin under contract and it competed with whitewalls.

1973 RSR - Norbert Singer (hired to work on turbo 917s) was pickd to head up the RSR project in late spring of '72. With a displacement of 2806cc, the RSR was the first 911 to break the 300hp barrier. Its first race was the 1973 24-Hours of Daytona and due what Porsche describes as a rules "disagreement", the cars were forced to run as prototypes. As endurance racing luck would have it, all of the faster cars crapped out, and the Brumos RSR captured the overall victory. This particular car was part of the Martini two-car team that competed in Europe. It won at the 68th and last Targa Florio road race.

1974 RSR - This is the first of the series built and was campaigned by George Loos's GELO Racing team. It won at Spa and the Nurburgring in '74. During its career it was never crashed or badly damaged, and according to Porsche it's the most historically significant and period correct RSR in existance.

Scale model.

The Real 1976 934 - New rules for Group 4 made production homologation run of 400 street versions of the racing version mandatory. The number 934 comes from a road going 930 built for Group 4 racing. These racers were built from production 930 bodyshells, with fully trimmed interiors.

1979 Kremer K-3. 3.2 Liters and twin KKK turbos made 740-805hp depending upon the boost settings.

1986 961 -In the early '80's FISA organized international racing into two categories: Group B and C. The latter produced 956 prototypes. The former evolved into the World Rally Championship instead of sports cars. Despite this, Helmut Bott continued the development of the 961. This is the only example built. It ran LeMans in 1986 allowed in as the only entrant in the IMSA GTX class. With virtually the same motor as the 962 prototype, it finished 7th overall beaten only by Group C Prototypes.

GT3R Hybrid - fitted with two 75kw electric motors on the front axle supplementing a 465hp conventional motor at the rear.
