The 2016 Porsche 911 Carrera S is a car that any ordinary bystander would label as “Fancy”, then proceed on with their day. With two twin turbochargers to support a flat 6 “boxer” engine, sleek fluorescent tail lights to highlight the elliptic headlights, and a futuristic touch screen center console, can one blame a passing judgment? In this case, you can. This Carrera S is no ordinary Carrera S. It is a spitting image of the 1973 “Chartreuse” Porsche 911 2.7 Rs.
Being one of 23 made in Chartreuse, the 1973 2.7 RS was the first street racing car Porsche released to the masses. Initially illegal in America outside of racing, the 911 2.7 RS coupe is the most famous of the 1965 -1973 first generation 911 series. The RS had no hefty federally mandated “safety bumpers”, therefore it was able to maintain a sleek muscular composition that when incorporated with the lemon/lime chartreuse body coating, would give an “ordinary” bystander the "Frog eyes".
This 2016 Porsche 911 Carrera S has over $60,000 in upgrades from factory, many of which are used to mimic the 1973 2.7 RS. One second you can admire the clean modern look of the 2016 Carrera S, then seemingly time travel to the pure genius of the color scheme and design of the 1973 Carrera Rs, Satisfying the hunger for speed and power, while preserving arguably the most revolutionary Porsche releases in history.
