Rs classic8/31/2023 The metalwork process is meticulous, and the projects department conducts a thorough check on all key components to ensure perfect fitment. Our aim is to preserve the vehicle in its original period, and we make every effort to achieve this. However, in cases where parts are unavailable, we use our expert knowledge of heritage metalworking practices used in the 60s-70s to fabricate bespoke parts ourselves. Our team at Autofarm takes great pride in sourcing original parts to meet our exceptional standards of build. When the vehicle is removed from the jig, it is the start of an intricate and careful process of eliminating corrosion. Thus, after the production of the initial 200 Lightweights and 17 RSH homologation cars, Porsche decided to build 1308 RS Tourings (factory code M472, RST): better equipped and weighing an additional 100kg. To shed weight, the car underwent a crash diet, with slender body panels, lighter bumpers, and no frills or fancies, reducing its weight to a mere 975kg in the original RS Sport spec models (factory code M471) – known as Lightweight or RSL.Īlthough many purists favored the “less is more” approach, a section of customers longed for some luxury. The torque also witnessed a significant hike, from 211Nm to 255Mn at 5,100rpm. Its air-cooled flat-six underwent a transformation, with a bore-out to 2.68lcc, and low friction Nikasil cylinder linings that upped the power output from 193bhp to 213bhp at 6,300rpm. The 2.4-litre 911s, known for their quickness, formed the foundation of the RS. Determined to continue the legacy and give a boost to sales, the engineering director, Ernst Fuhrmann, turned his attention towards the 911. However, fate had other plans, and the sports car racer was banned in 1972.
