Straat Porsche RSR

Straat specializes in classic restorations and innovative creations based on the raw essence of the classic Porsche 911. This fantastic build is their interpretation of their client’s dream of an RSR evocation. The idea was conceived when the client, a seasoned collector, was running the fun Targa California road rally a couple of years ago. Inspired by the "spirited" cornering and driving of that event, his vision became clear: wide body, long-nose, lots of power, and more than enough brakes and suspension to match.

With that mandate, Straat chose an extremely clean 1973 911T as a donor and began to strip and prepare the body for the reconstruction. During the build they decided to go with an even stronger engine configuration: they commissioned a 993 based 3,8 liter MOTEC EFI engine with Patrick Motorsports in Arizona. To go with the close to 400 HP configuration, they chose a matching Porsche 915 re-geared transmission, 964 Turbo Brakes, and KW adjustable suspension. Among other features are an HEIGO roll cage, electric A/C, a retrofitted stereo, Panasport wheels, Michelin sticky tires, 9eleven headlights, RSR Porsche plastic gas tank, Recaro Specialist Seats and much more.

You can choose from one of Straat´s available restorations, or work with them to customize your own custom 911, every project is shaped by your will, and infused with your personality. You dream it, they customize it.
