1973 Porsche 911 RSR Coupe

For the privateer in the mid-1970's who wanted to go sports car racing, and in particular compete successfully at the famed 24 Hours of LeMans, Daytona or Sebring, there was really only one viable option - the Porsche RSR introduced in 1973.

The RSR was a Factory Werks built racing car based on the 911 chassis. These were not converted street cars, but rather purpose-built competition models designed and built from the ground up for serious racing use. In 1974 the factory made significant changes to the car including a new 3.0 liter engine, wider wheels with center lock hubs and improved aerodynamics. The result was a car that would dominate the GT category and challenge for overall wins around the world.

The original Hurley Haywood/Peter Gregg 1973 Porsche 911 RSR which won the 12 Horus of Sebring was destroyed by Porsche after its campaign was finished.

This is a replica of the 1973 Daytona 24 Hour winner driven by Hurley Haywood and Peter Gregg. It is powered by a 2.8 liter flat 6. The car was loaned to Brumos Porsche for the 1973 Daytona 24 Hours only, and then returned to the factory. The original 1973 Daytona winning car no longer exists. In 2013, at the request of Haywood, Ron Thomas of AASE Sales built a precise factory replica in just three months. This vehicle debuted at Sebring where Haywood drove it to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of his 12 Horus of Sebring win in 1973.
