50 years of the 911 Carrera RS

Another new series of art prints have arrived in the Ecurie store. This time it’s the turn Porsche’s legendary 911 Carrera RS 2.7, available in four different colours and three different sizes for your wall. And, with our production partner, no matter where you are in the world, your artwork can be printed locally and on its way to you in a matter of days.

Fifty years ago, the world knew the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 as Germany’s fastest sports car. It began as a homologation special and featured many technological innovations. It was the most powerful version of the first-generation 911, generating around 210 bhp from its air-cooled flat-six developed by Hans Mezger and Valentin Schäffer.

A more potent engine was only part of the success story. Wind tunnel testing and aerodynamic science introduced never-before-seen technology to the 911. The ducktail, now as much an icon of style as an element of function, was critical in achieving stability at high speeds. Not only did it unlock the ability to drive faster, but it did so without incurring additional drag. In fact, it reduced the drag coefficient.
