1984 Porsche 911 SC/RS – Ultimate Guide

It has long been Porsche’s philosophy to produce lightweight, high-performance sportscars with engine power sufficient to ensure their cars were still competitive.

This approach stood them in very good stead throughout the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, as the 356s, 550s and later the 911s, often beat more powerful opposition earning them the nickname of ‘giant killers’. This was a hard-earned title, as Porsche frequently embarrassed manufacturers who boasted much larger budgets in support of their sophisticated racing machinery.
