Strange
There aren’t really that many Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.0s around, probably 55 (and then 54 RSRs). You can read about their history here. Not only are they rare, they are also wicked. An RS 3.0 for the road had 230 hp but weighed only 1060 kilos (less than a Carrera RS 2.7). In many ways, it is an improvement on its predecessor – which is why we are a little surprised that this particular model, chassis number #9114609045, is only being offered for a relatively modest 1 to 1.5 million euros at the RM Sotheby’s auction in Milan in 2025. Especially since the car also has a racing history, albeit an unfinished one in the 1975 Targa Florio.
VIN: #9114609045
Engine: 6840050 (nicht original, siehe unten)
Auction: RM Sotheby’s, Mailand 2025, estimate 1 to 1,5 million Euro, with these informations: «Finished in Grand Prix White, this Carrera RS 3.0 was sold new in Stuttgart on 10 January 1974 and supplied to Mr Byker of Düsseldorf. The following year, it was acquired by keen Italian clubman racer Antonino Guagliardo. In July 1975, having found a faster replacement for his Lancia Fulvia and 911 S, Mr Guagliardo fielded the car in the Targa Florio. Entered by Cefalù Corse with second driver Libero Marchiolo, it was resplendent in its Grand Prix White but featured red bumpers. Unfortunately, the Porsche failed to finish. While Mr Guagliardo eventually switched to forced induction in the form of a Porsche 930, he retained the Carrera RS 3.0 for three decades. The car was then sold to France before, in 2014, it was acquired by a Belgian Porsche dealer. It joined The Stuttgart Legends Collection in January 2015. Presented in its factory colour and wearing dished wheels, a Carrera stripe, and Porsche script all finished in gold, this Carrera RS 3.0 benefits from a February 2025 inspection by marque expert Andy Prill (available to view on file). He noted the original chassis stamping and production number, plus several other authentic 3.0 RS features such as the chassis reinforcements and double-skin rear crossmember. While the current engine has been built around a magnesium crankcase, this car is supplied with its matching-numbers original Silumin crankcase. Please note that this Porsche will require mechanical recommissioning prior to driving following a period of static display».
