In 1974, the Porsche factory made significant changes to their developing 911 race car including a new 3-liter engine, wider wheels with center lock hubs and improved aerodynamics. The result was a car that would be successful in the GT category and challenge for overall wins around the world. The 3.0 RSR would go on to become one of the most successful Group 4 racing cars of its time. Its combination of low weight, immense Porsche 917 brakes, impeccable handling, and a 330+ horsepower naturally aspirated flat-6, gave the model a power-to-weight ratio that would rival its competitors from Italy, England, or America.
This particular Porsche RSR was campaigned by Ecurie Francorchamps in 1974 but, unfortunately, after 19 hours it was out of the race with a clutch problem. In the next two attempts at Le Mans, the RSR finished 2nd in its class. In 1975, it was 2nd in Group 4 with a 6th overall and in 1976 it was 2nd in Group 5 and 18th overall. After participating in four 24 Hours of Le Mans the RSR got its best finish with a 1st in Group 4 Class in 1978 with Annie Charlotte Verney, Xavier Lapeyre and Francois Servanin at the wheel.
