An all-time Porsche icon is celebrated with the Germans’ new lifestyle collection, and it’s using the same colors the actual sportscar had. The 911 Carrera RS 2.7 from 1973 was defined by a lot of limited features, but there clearly is one that stands out: it was the fastest Porsche series-produced model of its time.
With a 2.7-liter engine and an output of 210 horsepower, the small series was originally Porsche’s answer to fierce motorsport competition in the GT Class. Soon enough, it became an emblem among the sportscar aficionados. In total, 1580 units left the Stuttgart factory. Porsche Driver’s Selection is honoring the vehicle with a new collection that reflects its characteristics and brings the icon back to life.
“The design for the collection is based primarily on the paint finish of the classic car in the color variant Grand Prix White with rims and ‘Carrera’ side stripes in Red, Blue, and Viper Green,” the lifestyle branch of the German automaker details.
The list is topped by the Rimowa luggage series made from 100% polycarbonate. The suitcase range is tailor-made and fits all current Porsches models. The collection also includes a unisex T-shirt, sweatshirts for men and women and joggers for men, all in mottled gray.
Porsche Driver's Selection made sure none of the brand’s enthusiasts was ignored, so they also included a couple of diecast models. The RS 2.7 collection is rounded off by the limited edition Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 model cars in white/viper green and Gulf blue/black. As most of the issues in the new collection, the two color variants in 1:43 scale are each limited to 1973 pieces.
Porsche Driver’s Selection new range will hit the market July 1 and will also be available online, but feel free to check out the press release below for further details.
