1975 Porsche 934 RSR Coupe

This car is the second 934 of the 31 Porsche built. Born December 3, 1975, this car raced successfully for seven season, through 1982. Long-time Porsche expert Bruce Anderson describes it as 'the most successful 934 to race in international competition.'

Egon Evertz raced it in the Group Four class of the World Championship. Kenneth Leim campaigned it in 1978 and 1979. Richard Cleare stewarted this ride to several class wins, including a class win at the 1982 24 Hours of LeMans. Dave Morse purchased it in 1985; it was club raced from then until its 1995 restoration. The next owner is still the current one.

The rear mounted, turbocharged six-cylinder, boxer-style engine produces 530 horsepower and connects to a four-speed transmission. The car weighs less than 2200 pounds. The original purchase price was $28000; that was delivered, ready to fuel up and race.

This 934 has a seven year racing history that makes it the most successful ever in international competition. With a 3.0 liter turbocharged flat six engine producing 630 HP it won 1st in Class at Le Mans in 1982. Since its restoration it has taken show class wins at the Porsche Rennsport Reunion II and at the Amelia Island Concours.

In late 1975 the Porsche factory was developing race cars for all three of the current manufacturer's championship in Groups 4, 5, 6. They would be the 934, 935, and 936, and all three found extraordinary success and championships in the coming years.
