Tutte le aste / Veicoli / 1973 – Porsche 911 Carrera RS Lightweight, Chassis No. 9113600231
The most famous of the 911 Carrera models, shown here in its rarest and most sought-after version, the M471 RS ‘Lightweight’! The Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS holds a special place in motoring history. The first 911 to bear the ‘Carrera’ name – a tribute to Porsche’s victories in the Carrera Panamericana – it also introduced the prestigious ‘RS’ designation, standing for Rennsport. Designed to meet Group 4 homologation requirements, it represents the perfect synthesis between a road car and a racing car – a philosophy that has enduringly shaped the legend of the 911. Powered by a flat-six engine increased to 2.7 litres, fitted with Bosch mechanical fuel injection and producing 210 chevaux, it offered exceptional performance for its time. Its widened wings, its ‘ducktail’ rear spoiler and its low kerb weight made it one of the most iconic Porsches ever produced. The example shown here is a Lightweight (M471), a lighter version of which only 200 were produced. Delivered new in Switzerland on 7 February 1973, it is fitted with the rare optional ‘M220’ limited-slip differential and a black KL interior. This car has a well-documented history, including copies of the vehicle registration documents dating back to 1981, when it was purchased by a collector from eastern France. It was registered in the Jura, in Maine-et-Loire from 1982 to 1991, and then in Touraine until 2000. - Purchased in 2000 by Christian Tahon, co-founder of the leading magazine Flat 6, he began a major restoration in 2003. The car was entrusted to Garage Ollier in Carqueiranne, which dismantled it completely before putting it on the ‘spindle’. The file contains several photographs as well as a copy of *Flat 6* magazine featuring a four-page article on the car. In May 2007, it was sold to its current owner. In 2014, its engine (a 2.7-litre magnesium engine block from 1975) was completely rebuilt in accordance with RS specifications at a cost of over €15,000. Since then, it has been used solely for leisure purposes, exclusively for leisure drives and sightseeing trips. It starts on the first try; revs rise sharply, the gearbox shifts precisely, and the suspension settings provide excellent feedback through the steering, ensuring handling that lives up to the brand’s reputation. Typical in its Grand Prix White livery with blue wheels and lettering, the quality of the paintwork, the underbody and the alignment are particularly noteworthy. The interior is similar to the original, with a few differences, notably its bolted roll cage and non-original steering wheel. Whilst this 911 Carrera RS 2.7 has the advantage of a well-documented service history, we would like to draw your attention to a recent expert report indicating that its bodywork was likely replaced at an unknown date. The registration document and chassis number match, as does its secret number, which is identical to that listed in the manufacturer’s records. This example offers the opportunity to acquire one of the most legendary Porsches of all time, bearing the identity of an ‘M471’ Lightweight – a model that ranks among the most highly valued and sought-after by collectors.
