An extremely rare Porsche 911 SC RS could fetch well over three million dollars at an auction next month.
One of the big attractions at the 2024 Chattanooga Motorcar Festival in Tennessee will be the Broad Arrow Auctions sale on October 12th. They’ll be auctioning off a range of rare collector cars, including a very rare Porsche 911 SC RS. This model is special because it was one of only 21 ever made for rally racing.
The 911 SC RS, also known as the “Evolutionsserie,” looks like a regular 911. However, this beauty is packed with racing features. It has lightweight aluminum body parts, fiberglass bumpers, and a stripped-down interior to save weight. The car weighs just 2,160 pounds and has a powerful 3.0-liter engine that delivers between 250 and 270 horsepower. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds.
This particular car, which is the very last one made, was initially intended for the South African market but ended up with Tycho Christian van Dijk’s racing team. It was used in one rally event in 1984, finishing 14th out of 158 cars. Jürgen Barth, the 1976 Le Mans winner and former Porsche Customer Racing director, played a key role in the 1983 911 “Evolutionsserie” program. In a report prepared for the current owner, Barth praised the car’s exceptional preservation, noting its matching-numbers engine and transmission, a testament to how well this piece of history has been cared for throughout the years. The 911 SC RS has only about 3,237 miles on it. It’s expected to sell for at least $2.6 million, with a top estimate of $3.5 million.
