The original donor car was a UK supplied 1987 model year 3.2 Carrera Coupe. Rennsport then stripped the car down to a complete bare body shell
It was rebuilt using all lightweight steel panels. Front wings, rear arches, bonnet, front and rear panels, sills, B-posts and kidney bowls were all replaced to transform it to the full RSR bodywork of the 1973 2.8 RSR.
Composite front and rear bumpers and composite Ducktail were fitted in keeping with the original along with the centre bonnet fuel filler
The engine is built from the original bare crankcases. Fully blueprinted, it now runs forged 3.4 litre high compression (11.5-1) pistons in nikasil liners. It also runs Rennsport camshafts.
The fuelling is changed to Rennsport in-house developed AT power throttle injection system with fully programmable ECU. The car is set up running around 300hp for fast road use.
The transmission is the later G50 5 speed gearbox with hydraulic clutch.
Currently running on Clubsport Bilstein suspension and torsion bars the road holding is incredible and as for stopping power it also has Clubsport brakes with EBC yellow competition pads so it is set up to be enjoyed for fast road and track use.
Fitted with 9x16” front and 10x16” rear RSR lightweight Braid competition wheels.
The interior is beautifully finished in fine black Muirhead Leather with Houndstooth Inserts on period Recaro seats. Complemented with the latest electric air conditioning system.
When the car was rebuilt every wearable part was either totally replaced with new parts, or totally refurbished. The odometer clocks were zero at the time of the Rennsport re-build so the current mileage showing 1,800 miles is all the car has covered since its reincarnation.

As of Monday 11th November we are commencing the second stage of our Showroom update, which will mean our main Showroom will be out of action for a short period of time.
Whilst we remain fully operational, we will be working on an appointment only basis if you wish to view any of our current vehicles for sale.
This is so we can make sure the car is available for you to view on-site whilst the work is being completed.
Please get in touch with the sales team to arrange your appointment via the 'contact us' page, and many thanks for your understanding.
