Porsche 917 - 1969 by Perico001 The 917 had almost no aero grip due to its long tail for the maximum speed at Le Mans. The use of wings was in it infancy. This 917, which led the 1969 24 Hours for a long time and set the fastest lap at 234 km/h (Vic Alford), is on show in its short-tail version perfected by the Gulf Wyer team as it is raced regularly.

Porsche 911 GT2 Evo - 1996 by Perico001 Porsche 993 Chassis n°...



Porsche 911 GT2 Evo - 1996 by Perico001 Porsche 993 Chassis n° WP0ZZZ99ZTS392185 Estimated : CHF 750.000 - 950.000 Unsold The Bonmont Sale Collectors’ Motor Cars - Bonhams Golf & Country Club de Bonmont Chéserex Switzerland - Suisse - Schweiz September 2019 “Named after a class of endurance race cars, this new series of motorsport-derived cars were designed to deliver a more visceral, harder-edge driving experience for the true enthusiasts. They’ve been delivering that ever since, and they’re now the most desirable of all modern Porsches.” – Autocar. Intended primarily for racing, though still road legal, the Porsche 911 GT2 can trace its ancestry all the way back through a succession of high-performance models to the legendary 911 Carrera RS of 1973. The car takes its name from the FIA’s GT2 category of production sports car racing for which it was homologated and has been produced in a variety of versions since its introduction in 1993 on the Type 993 iteration of the perennial 911, regarded by many as the most beautiful 911 of all. Over the years the 911 had received numerous aerodynamic and safety-inspired add-ons, diluting the purity of the original form. The Type 993’s arrival marked a return to basic principles, being recognisably a 911 but one in which all functions had been harmoniously integrated in a truly outstanding example of modern automotive styling. The range offered remained pretty much as before, comprising two- and four-wheel drive models, the legendary Turbo and the Cabriolet convertible, all powered by the latest 3.6-litre version of Porsche’s perennial flat-six engine. The GT2 variant was based on the contemporary 911 Turbo, using essentially the same twin-turbocharged engine. In the GT2 the 3.6-litre air-cooled flat-six engine produced around 424bhp initially (444bhp in later models), which was good enough for a top speed of 301km/h (187mph). Acceleration was breathtaking, with 100mph (161km/h) reached from a standstill in a mere 7.2 seconds (at the time, only to the McLaren F1 got there quicker). To make the GT2 fit for track use the brakes, suspension, and wheels were up-rated to cope with the substantial increase in performance, while aerodynamic downforce was enhanced by a larger front air dam and a rear spoiler. Of rear-wheel drive configuration, the GT2 was considerably lighter - by some 300kg - than its Turbo parent. This weight saving was achieved through the use of aluminium body panels and lightweight racing seats, and the deletion of many of the interior fittings, including the Turbo’s soundproofing and rear seats. The GT2 also featured widened wheelarches and a larger rear wing with air ducts in the support struts for improved engine cooling. The most expensive model in the 911 range, the GT2 in its original Type 993 incarnation was produced up to 1998. This particular GT2 was first owned by a Dr Walter Aus Der Au. The car’s second owner was a lawyer from Lausanne, Switzerland, while the current vendor is its fourth custodian. Having suffered accident damage, the car was restored in 1998 by the Porsche factory in Stuttgart (only the last page of the invoice is available for the moment). Porsche’s restoration included a full repaint, and the bodywork remains in superb condition today. While at Stuttgart the GT2 also received the ‘Evo’ engine upgrade to 450PS (444bhp), while the roll-bar installation was carried out by Porsche Bern at the first owner’s request. More recently (in 2018) both turbochargers were replaced because of excess smoke emission. Finished in Polar Silver with black interior, this beautiful GT2 has covered only 21,890 kilometres from new and is described by the private vendor as in excellent condition throughout. Accompanying documentation consists of correspondence with the first owner; insurance paperwork; partial factory invoice; cover page of the Speedster magazine; and cancelled Swiss Carte Grise. The car also comes with its pouch and manuals (including service manual). https://flic.kr/p/2hMT1bz

‘The new engine turned out to have enormous marketing power. It became a real status symbol to have that little word 'turbo’ on your rear deck, and this fashion spread right across the motor industry.’ - Peter Morgan, 'Original Porsche 911’.
Much of the Porsche 911’s development had resulted from the factory’s racing programme, and it was the then Group 4 homologation rules, which required 400 road cars to be built, which spurred the development of 'Project 930’ - the legendary 911 Turbo. In production from April 1975, the Turbo married a KKK turbocharger to the 3.0-litre RSR engine, in road trim a combination that delivered 260 bhp for a top speed of 250 km/h. But the Turbo wasn’t just about top speed, it was also the best-equipped 911 and amazingly flexible - hence only four speeds in the gearbox - being capable of racing from a standstill to 62km/h in 14 seconds.
The Turbo’s characteristic flared wheelarches and 'tea tray’ rear spoiler had already been seen on the Carrera model, while the interior was the most luxurious yet seen in a 911, featuring leather upholstery, air conditioning and electric windows. The Turbo’s engine was enlarged to 3.3 litres for 1978, gaining an inter-cooler in the process; power increased to 300 bhp and the top speed of what was the fastest-accelerating road car of its day went up to 260 km/h. More refined than hitherto yet retaining its high performance edge, the Turbo sold in the thousands, becoming the definitive sports car of its age. When Porsche revealed that the original 911 would be replaced by the new Type 964 in 1990, dealer stocks of the existing Turbo model sold out overnight.
Representing a major step forward for the 911, the new Carrera 4 and Carrera 2 - coded named '964’ - were launched in 1989, the former marking the first time that four-wheel drive had been seen on a series-production 911. Porsche had experimented with four-wheel drive on the 959 supercar, and many of the lessons learned from the latter influenced the design of the 964’s chassis and suspension. Face-lifted but retaining that familiar shape, the Carreras had been given a more extensive work-over mechanically, 87% of parts being claimed as entirely new. Although the normally aspirated duo shared the same 3.6-litre, 247 bhp, flat-six engine, the Turbo initially kept its existing 3.3-litre unit, which now developed 320 bhp. Power-assisted steering (another 911 'first’), anti-lock brakes, and a five-speed manual transmission were standard, with the Tiptronic auto 'box a Carrera 2-only option. In October 1992 the Turbo received the 3.6-litre M64/50 engine, which in 'blown’ from now produced a mighty 360 bhp. Along with the raised maximum power output came a welcome increase in torque, addressing the 3.3-litre car’s lack of off-boost acceleration. One of the most expensive models in the Porsche range, the 3.6-litre Turbo was produced in limited numbers, only some 1.400-or-so being completed out of a total Type 964 production run of more than 62.000 units.
Representing the Type 964 in its ultimate incarnation, this 3.6-litre Turbo was delivered new in France via Porsche Marceau Automobiles, Paris 16. The car is finished in Midnight Blue Metallic with matching interior, and comes equipped with a sunroof and Sony CD audio system. A previous owner, Mr Wim Decock, bought the Porsche in the mid-1990s, having heard about a little-used 3.6-litre Turbo offered for sale. The car had fewer than 3.000 kilometres recorded at that time so he decided to buy it on the spot. Mr Decock enjoyed the Porsche for the next ten or so years before selling it in 2005 to Mr Daniel Daspart with circa 24.000 kilometres recorded (see document on file). Mr Daspart competed with the Turbo in the 'Le Touquet Paris-Plage’ rally in 2009, 2011, and 2013. In the latter year the Turbo was featured in 'Flat 6’ magazine (No. 273, November edition).
The current vendor acquired the Porsche in May 2017, since when it has not been used but nevertheless has benefited from mechanical refurbishment carried out recently by the official Porsche Centre Brussels following the well-known marque 111-point check (see check report and bill for over €7,000 on file). Mechanically in top condition and currently displaying a total of circa 62,400 kilometres on the odometer, the car is offered with its instruction manual, service book, Sony CD manual, and Belgian Carte Grise, and comes complete with tool kit and spare wheel. In addition, there are invoices on file from ATS Porsche in Nivelles, Belgium and Kronos Porsche centre in Gembloux, Belgium. https://flic.kr/p/24om1kc

‘What the RS has done is take the technical brilliance of the latest Carreras and put back the missing excitement of some earlier, less pampering generations.’ – Brian Laban, Performance Car magazine.

Evoking memories of the legendary 2.7 and 3.0-litre RS and RSR 'homologation specials’ of the 1970s, Porsche introduced the Carrera RS on the Type 964 platform in 1991. A lightweight variant like its illustrious forebears, the beautiful newcomer was based on the Carrera Cup competition car and sold in Europe only, though there was a lower-specification RS America for the United States market. There was also a Touring version that kept most of the road equipment fitted to the standard Carrera.

Representing a major step forward in the development of Porsche’s perennial 911, the Carrera 4 and Carrera 2 - 'Type 964’ in factory parlance - had been launched in 1989, the former marking the first time that four-wheel drive had been seen on a series-production model. Porsche had experimented with four-wheel drive on the 959 supercar, and many of the lessons learned from the latter influenced the design of the new Carreras’ chassis and suspension. Face-lifted but retaining that familiar shape, the newcomers had been given a more extensive work-over mechanically, 87% of parts being claimed as entirely new. The pair shared the same 3.6-litre flat-six engine, while power-assisted steering (another 911 'first’), anti-lock brakes and a five-speed manual transmission were standard on both, with the Tiptronic auto 'box a Carrera 2-only option. Its new engine enabled the 964 to out-perform the old '3.2’ yet still met the latest emissions regulations.

The Carrera RS retained the 3.6-litre engine, albeit boosted in maximum output to 260bhp and equipped with a lightened flywheel for improved response. The G50/10 five-speed transmission featured closer ratios, an asymmetrical limited-slip differential and steel synchromesh, while the suspension was lowered and stiffened. The 0-100km/h time dropped to 5.4 seconds and the Carrera RS had a top speed of 260km/h.

For the lightweight version, the interior was stripped out completely and the power steering, power windows and seats, rear seats, air conditioning, cruise control, sound deadening material, and stereo system removed. Two lightweight racing bucket seats were fitted instead. The front bonnet was made of aluminium and the chassis was seam welded, while the side windows were made from thinner and lighter glass. Rounding off this radical exercise in weight reduction, the Carrera RS was equipped with 17" Cup magnesium wheels. The result was a total weight saving of around 150kg compared to the Carrera 2, transforming the RS into a faster, more agile, and more responsive car.

Brian Laban found that any feeling of remoteness or soft touch had gone completely, and reckoned that the controls never felt more solid or precise. In his opinion the Porsche could not be faulted, the verdict being that the Carrera RS was 'exactly what a performance car should be’. Excluding America and RSR variants, only 2,051 units of the Type 964 Carrera RS were produced.

In June 1990, this unique Carrera RS’s owner signed a provisional purchase agreement, and in March 1991 was asked by the importer what colours he would like for the body and upholstery. He specified bodywork in British Racing Green, Recaro seats trimmed in Sherwood Green leather, and a special three-spoke steering wheel. The importer had serious reservations about the special colour scheme chosen by the customer, but after several months of discussions, on 20th December 1991 confirmation was received that his choices were acceptable, albeit with a considerable increase in the price. Other non-standard special features of this car include a bracing bar between the front suspension turrets, and a unique centre/rear interior roll cage.

The Porsche was duly delivered to the current owner on 27th May 1992, since when it has covered a mere 31,500 kilometres in fine weather only, and has always been a pleasure to drive. Pampered by its owner and never involved in any accidents, this Carrera RS retains its original paintwork and has never repainted except for the right rear wing. The bodywork, under-body, and front luggage compartment and all impeccable, while the original magnesium wheels are undamaged. Never rebuilt, the engine has no oil leaks, and we are advised that the transmission is faultless.

Offered with its original tool kit, jack, compressor, instruction manuals, and two sets of keys, this unique Carrera RS comes with full and unbroken history from new, including the purchase order, purchase invoice, service booklet, service invoices, Certificate of Conformity, Contrôle Technique, Belgian Carte Grise, and all documents. A unique opportunity. https://flic.kr/p/2a3WBC7

Porsche 911 68R - 1968 by Perico001 The 68R is the hero car from the acclaimed movie ‘Urban Outlaw’, a documentary on the kingpin of the global Outlaw scene, Magnus Walker, that premiered at the 2012 Sundance Festival. He built this car for himself but sold it after being approached by the current owner, himself a Porsche collector. Arguably the most famous Outlaw outside of Walker’s own collection, the car has a worldwide following, and is also the focus of an on-line film entitled 'The London Outlaw’. The car has a 2,5-litre engine, 66 mm crank with 90 mm pistons and cylinders, plus 40 mm Webber carbs.

Although Ferdinand Porsche had established his automotive design consultancy in the early 1930s, his name would not appear on a production car until 1949. When it did, it graced one of the all-time great sports cars: the Porsche 356. Having commenced manufacture with a short run of around 50 hand-built aluminium-bodied cars at Gmünd, Porsche began volume production of the steel-bodied 356 coupé at its old base in Stuttgart, at first in premises shared with coachbuilders Reutter and then (from 1955) in its original factory at Zuffenhausen.

The work of Ferdinand ‘Ferry’ Porsche, the 356 was based on the Volkswagen designed by his father. Like the immortal 'Beetle’, the 356 employed a platform-type chassis with rear-mounted 1,100cc air-cooled engine and torsion bar all-independent suspension, yet somehow contrived to offer level of performance that belied the basic layout’s humble origins. In part this had been achieved by the 356’s aerodynamically efficient body, designed by Porsche employee Erwin Komenda. In its report on the 1949 Geneva Motor Show, scene of the 356’s international debut, Motor commented: 'Despite the conservatively stressed engine, a weight of only 11.7cwt gives 68bhp/ton and the beautifully formed body offers such low drag that the car has been timed by an independent tester to cover a kilometre at 84mph (134km/h)’.

Porsche was anxious to prove its new sports car in competition, and on 11th July 1948 the open prototype had won its class at a race meeting at Innsbruck. In 1951 an aluminium-bodied works car finished first in the 1,100cc class at the Le Mans 24-Hour Race and 20th overall, thus beginning the marque’s long and illustrious association with La Sarthe.

Aluminium cylinder heads were an early improvement (introduced in November 1949) while constant development would see the 356’s engine progressively enlarged, with 1.3-litre and 1.5-litre units first becoming available in 1951. As the engine increased in both size and power, the inadequacies of the Volkswagen-type transmission were exposed, leading to the introduction of Porsche’s own synchromesh gearbox - the Type 519 - in 1952. That same year the original split windscreen was replaced by a one-piece, while 1955 marked the arrival of the revised 356A model, the newcomer being readily distinguished by its curved windscreen and 15" - down from 16" - wheels.

This rare 'four-digit’ Porsche 356 Coupé has the two-piece split windscreen typical of the very earliest models. It is estimated that only some 30 of this type survive. Chassis number '5310’ is an original German-delivered car that is believed to have had only four previous owners (details on file). In the mid-1990s the Porsche was restored by marque specialist Peter Iversen in Denmark on behalf of the fourth owner. Costing €25,000, additional detailing has been carried out in recent years by the owner with the guidance of recognised Porsche 356 expert Robert Brocker of the Netherlands.

Some measure of this car’s fine quality may be gained from the fact that in 2018 it was judged 'Most Iconic Car’ at the Zoute Concours d'Élégance and won 1st Prize for 'Best Restoration’ at the InterClassics Brussels auto show. Photographs taken at the shows are on file and the car also comes with restoration photographs and Danish and German registration papers.

'5310’ is justifiably described by several marque experts as in 'concours condition’. With its split windscreen and low, four-digit chassis number, this early Type 356 would be a welcome participant at Porsche-themed and other sports car events, as examples such as this are seldom seen. https://flic.kr/p/2fkv6gz
