Join The Club

The 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Club Sport was Porsche’s attempt at rolling back the years and once again stoking the fires of high-performance, lightweight motoring. Originally created on the core building blocks of lightweight, high-performance and superb engineering quality, the early 356 model did much to establish the Porsche name back in the early 1950s. With the introduction of the 911 model in 1963, however, this newcomer was without a top performer in the range, and it would be another ten years before the legendary 911 Carrera RS 2.7 would break cover.

Membership of the exclusive ‘RS’ club would initially be limited to just 500 lucky buyers, made up of both racing drivers and driving enthusiasts. But when the Stuttgart sales boys saw how popular the RS 2.7 was, production was quickly tripled. The Carrera RS 3.0 followed in 1974, but apart from the Turbo in 1975, there was little else to quicken the pulse until the arrival of the SC/RS in 1984. But even here, only 20 of this latter, now highly sought-after model, were produced.
