Most Porsche fans know little about this epic wide-bodied 911 based race car. While the iconic 2.7 RS is every fan boys dream car, the RSR is the whole reason for the RS’s existence in the first place so we are dedicating some space here to tell you all about it.

The 911 Carrera RS 2.7 stands as a testament to Porsche’s dual-use sports car concept. Born out of necessity for homologation, the RS series paved the way for Porsche’s dominance in Group 5 racing. With stringent FIA regulations demanding 500 street-legal units, Porsche created two variants: the racing-centric Lightweight and the more refined Touring, both based on the 911S 2.4 Coupe.

Before the Porsche Taycan was released, if you wanted a fast EV, you weren’t exactly spoiled for choice. When 2019 came, this EV from a little German company in Stuttgart shattered expectations, becoming the benchmark for performance EV vehicles. Audi followed soon after, and Tesla revised their top model to become the Model S Plaid in an effort to keep up. EV hypercars also started releasing in 2022 from companies such as Lotus and Rimac, and all of a sudden there […]...
At Porsche, the “GTS” designation—short for Gran Turismo Sport—signifies enhanced dynamism and long-distance performance. The Cayenne fundamentally embodies the dual characteristics of a high-performance sports car and a versatile all-terrain SUV. However, the GTS models traditionally emphasize superior on-road performance. Equipped with a robust drive system, meticulously calibrated handling, and a distinctive design, the latest Cayenne GTS adheres to this philosophy while maintaining its practicality for daily use. Chassis technology from the Cayenne Turbo GT The precisely honed, GTS-specific chassis […]...

Sports car and touring sedan, agility plus comfort – this is the goal of the Porsche Panamera. When it comes to chassis development, this poses a challenge, as the development goals of optimum traction and high-performance cornering are at odds with driving comfort, and vice versa. Performance vs. Comfort […]...

When Porsche wanted to build a 911 2.7 RS for the 1980’s, it came up with the Carrera 3.2 Club Sport, a car which much like an RS has gone on to become a sought-after classic. In common with its RS predecessor, the key to the Club Sport is weight, or more specifically, less of it. Less is more By modern standards, even the weight of the standard Carrera at 1210kg would be enough to celebrate, but Porsche shaved around […]...

The Porsche 962 arrived on scene in 1984 as essentially a Porsche 956 for the IMSA/US market. IMSA mandated that the driver’s feet had to be behind the front wheel centerline. Therefore Porsche needed to change the 956 to accommodate this difference and ultimately that meant redesigning the monocoque and giving the car a new designation. The 962’s monocoque was basically a stretched 956 tub with one primary difference. The result was that the 962’s front overhang was shorter (in order to stay […]...
