The Porsche 911 964 Carrera RSR race car, synonymous with the legendary Targa Florio endurance race, was a must-see. 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.
