==In-game description==
"A first in Porsche 911 history, the elusive Rennsport."
Appearing in 1973, the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 was the first model in the long history of the Porsche 911 to feature the RS badge. RS stands for 'Rennsport' or simply 'racing sport' in English, and as this name suggests it was developed as a homologation model for the FIA's Group 4 category.
The 2.4L engine from the base model 1973 911 S has been enlarged to 2.7L, now producing 207.1 BHP. The front end features an air dam which allows for the addition of an oil cooler. The rear of the car features the iconic duck tail spoiler as standard, with stretched rear fenders to house the new wider rear tyres.
The Carrera RS 2.7 was available in 3 grades: Touring, Sport and Racing, though even the luxury Touring model weighed less than 1,100kg.
The car was originally produced in a limited homologation run of 500 unit; however, it sold almost immediately, leading Porsche to increase production. In total, 1,580 such cars were produced.
===Legend Cars (GT7)===
There have been many great Porsche 911s over the years, but the Carrera RS stands out as a shining masterpiece. The 1973 Carrera RS was the first production 911 to wear the 'Carrera RS' name... And was built specifically to win races. A homologation model designed to meet FIA Group 4 regulations... Its engine displacement was increased to 2.7L from the 2.4L of the standard 911. The car was also lightened by omitting anything deemed to be unnecessary. Summer tyres were chosen for enhanced grip, aided by special front and rear spoilers. The so-called 'ducktail' spoiler in the rear is a particularly iconic design feature. The 911 Carrera RS only sold in limited numbers from late 1972 to 1973. And while racing iterations have followed in the footsteps of their forebear all the way to current 911s... As the first of the series, the 911 Carrera RS enjoys a legendary sort of popularity.

Ah, the 1973-model Porsche 911 Carrera RS... What a legend! What a treasure! This precious gem was designed specifically to compete in 'touring car races'. That is, 'competition races for modified road-going cars.' Although the extent to which a car can be modified is heavily restricted by FIA guidelines... The building of high-performance road cars that can be easily turned into race cars... Has been a focus of many automakers, leading to the development of some really special machines. Such cars are known as 'homologation models,' which means they meet FIA requirements for competition. When the FIA revised its world championship regulations in 1973... Porsche was approved to compete in Group 4 (Gr.4) of the Grand Touring competition. The 911 Carrera RS was the homologation model designed to conquer this Gr.4 class. The road-going car was made lighter and more powerful than the standard 911... And served as the base for the competition-tuned 911 Carrera RSR! When the 911 Carrera RSR made its debut in March 1973 at the 12 Hours of Sebring in Florida... It turned heads with a dazzling 1-2 finish! After that, it continued to perform well at the world championship series! It even came out on top against more powerful rivals at major races like the Daytona 24 Hours and Targa Florio. It was a magnificent season, and a well-deserved world championship victory!
