1973 PORSCHE 911 2.8 RSR

ENGINE: 3.0-liter flat-6
TOP SPEED: 168 mph (est.)
HORSEPOWER: 310 (est.)

The 911 Carrera 2.8 RSR was developed purely for competition and stood as the lightest, fastest, most powerful, and most agile 911 ever to have entered in GT racing. It was 176 pounds lighter than the legendary road-going Carrera RS, and its engine had close to 100 additional horsepower. This example was built specifically for Brumos owner and driver Peter Gregg in 1973. In it, Gregg, with Hurley Haywood co-driving, won both the IMSA and Trans-Am championships in 1973, including victories at the IMSA 3 Hours at Daytona and Camel GT 250 at Daytona.
