This stunning original Porsche 911 RSR is for sale at Sam Hancock. Chassis 006 0015 was used in the Tour de France Automobile in 1975, 1976, and 1978.

Porsche’s 911 RSR was the result of the continuous further development of the now legendary 911. The RSR variant was a further development of the Carrera RS (RennSport) and stood out particularly due to the widened fenders, a 2.8-liter flat-six, and the typical Ducktail rear wing.

An evolutionary version appeared in 1974 under the designation 911 Carrera RSR 3.0, which delivered 330 hp. In this variant, the oil cooler was mounted at the front.  Additionally, the fenders were widened even further to accommodate wheels and tires derived from the Porsche 917. Porsche had managed to keep the weight at just 900 kg.

Chassis 006 0015, offered by Sam Hancock, was delivered in 1974 to the renowned French garage owner and Porsche specialist Meznarie. The car was entered in the Tour de France Automobile in 1975, 1976, and subsequently in 1978 in the blue colors of the French clothing brand Christine Laure. Nowadays, this particularly beautiful car can also be regularly seen in Classic Endurance Racing, part of the Le Mans Classic Series.
