Tracing more than five decades of Porsche 911 models bearing the RS designation, this illustrated volume brings together the marque’s racing-oriented history and the engineering priorities associated with the series: aerodynamics, reduced weight, power, and balance. Its account combines contributions from people involved in creating and building the cars with technical specifications for every RS model. More than 280 color photographs give the book a substantial visual component, while the data section makes the range’s development a subject for close comparison as well as browsing.

Book overview

Aerodynamics, lightweight construction, power, and balance: RS models from Porsche are always the sharpest upgrade on this side of the racetrack. For more than 50 years, Porsche 911s of every generation have borne the RS abbreviation for Renn Sport ("sport racing"). RS models dominate motor sports, inspire purists, push amateur racing drivers to their limits, and are simply a lot of fun.

Professional automotive journalists Constantin Bergander and Fabian Hoberg provide a unique insight into the fastest chapter of Porsche history.

The complete story of the RS is told with
- more than 280 full-color photographs;
- quotes from the engineers, designers, and other professionals who created and built the RS; and
- a detailed data section with full technical specifications for every RS model.

The highly informative text, detailed technical data, and emotional and evocative photos by expert photographer Peter Besser document a very special piece of Porsche history.
