Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 - 1:43

The blueprint. Everything after it was a footnote.

The 1973 Carrera RS 2.7 was Porsche stripping the 911 to its essentials, more power, less weight, and the now-iconic ducktail spoiler born of pure aerodynamic necessity. It was the fastest German production car of its day and the seed of every fast 911 that followed. A homologation special that outgrew its purpose and became a legend.

A gradient sinks from deep racing green into black behind it, sombre and confident, the bodywork emerging from the dark like a closely kept secret.

Where the whole dynasty begins.
