Its racing heritage and raw performance made it a true standout for enthusiasts, drawing crowds eager to get a glimpse of this motorsport icon. Powered by a 3.8-liter flat-six engine producing up to 350 horsepower, the Carrera RSR was built for endurance, featuring a lightweight chassis, wider track, and aggressive aerodynamics tailored for high-speed stability on winding circuits. Its bold racing livery and stripped-down, purpose-built interior highlighted its no-nonsense approach to competition. And this was a no nonsense sight to see as a living embodiment of Porsche automotive history.

Ooooohhhh a Widowmaker was stunningly on display at Luftgekühlt 10 “filling up for a full tank”, captivating spectators with its iconic silhouette and performance legacy. This 1970s powerhouse, with its 3.3-liter turbocharged flat-six engine, delivered an impressive 300 horsepower, making it one of the fastest cars of its era. Its wide rear fenders, aggressive stance, and distinctive “whale tail” spoiler gave the 930 Turbo a fierce, unmistakable look that commanded attention on the track and street alike. Seeing the Widowmaker up close had an intense vibe, like it was just waiting to fire up and roar back to life. Definitely a testament to Porsche’s fearless pursuit of speed and the enduring allure of its most thrilling creations.
