Porsche Classic will be celebrating the 40th anniversary of the iconic 911 RS
2.7 at Techno Classica, in Essen, Germany, from March 21-25. Techno Classica is
the world's largest trade fair dedicated to classic cars, and this year's event
will see Porsche Classic showcase its wide range of customer services on a stand
more than twice as large as last year's.
To mark the occasion of "40 years of the 911 Carrera RS", two racing versions of
the 911 Carrera RS from the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart are on display. The 1973
911 Carrera RSR delivers 330 hp and is joined by the ultimate RS variant, the
1974 911 Carrera RSR Turbo. The RSR Turbo - with its distinctive widened rear
wheel arches - produces a sensational 500 hp from a 2.1 litre version of the
charismatic flat six engine.
The RS-themed display is completed by a 911 Carrera RS 2.7 road car, which has
been restored by the Porsche Classic workshop specialists. Also on show is an
early Porsche 911, which is currently being restored for a customer at Porsche
Classic.
Experts from Porsche Classic will be on hand to provide advice and practical
assistance to visitors regarding the preservation and maintenance of their
historic vehicles. They will also provide information on the availability of
Porsche Classic original spare parts. Especially noteworthy, for example, is the
coveted "orange" Porsche bonnet badge of the 911 models from 1965 to 1973, which
has been not been available since 1974. In 2012, this will be re-released once
more.
Complete wings, classic Fuchs wheels and many other parts besides - presented in
a large high-bay storage system - demonstrate that Porsche Classic takes a close
interest in preserving these sports car treasures. The specialists' repertoire
comprises the repair, maintenance and restoration of classic Porsche road
vehicles as well as the provision of original spare parts.
Together with a Porsche Museum information stand, Porsche Exclusive & Tequipment
will also be represented on the spacious 600 plus square metre stand. A
custom-equipped 911 Carrera of the current 991 model series is being used to
showcase the comprehensive personalization options. Porsche Design Driver's
Selection rounds off the varied offering on the Porsche stand with a wide
selection of Porsche accessories.
