It is Dr.'s Gruber and Konradsheim. I thought I knew something about the Carrera RS, having read Starkey's R-RS-RSR, Excellence Was Expected, test reports, etc., etc. over the past 20 years or so. After spending a few hours reading 'Carrera RS' I realized I knew nothing. Absolutely nothing. A few tidbits:
Porsche produced three 1973 2.7S 911's but they never made it to a dealer's showroom. Same as a 2.4S except for rear flares and 7 inch rear wheels. No ducktail. There was even an advertising campaign ready to go!
The most popular color for the Carrera RS - by far - was light yellow!! Followed by GP white w/ blue, GP white w/red, and light ivory.
RS #911 360 1357 and #911 360 1411 had 2.9 liter motors and Sportomatic trannys!!
One of the 2.7S models had fire-engine red Glasurit exterior with paisley upholstery on the seats and door panels (photos included).
The entire book is filled with this kind of stuff. -- Curt
