ABOUT

THE ICONIC PORSCHE 911 RSR 

Its design was aggressive. Its acceleration violent, its interior sparse. The 1973 911 RSR/Carrera was built to dominate, and it delivered, making it the most iconic and most desirable of the 911s.

The 1973 RSR is the ideal combination of style and the Porsche Principle, “always get the most out of everything,” which has guided Porsche design consistently since the beginning. The 1973’s innovative flared wheel arches were created to accommodate wider wheels and tires. The elegant duck tail spoiler and front air dam advanced its aerodynamics. The chassis was strengthened to handle faster cornering speeds. With a stronger, lighter body and more powerful engine, the 1973 911 set the standard of the day for high-performance cars.

1973 911 RSR CARRERA

Lightweight & more powerful, the 1973 RSR Carrera was the epitome of small-batch Porsche racing cars. Only 55 were built; originals start in the seven figures.

THE DV | RSR

There’s nothing modern about the DV | RSR tribute motorcar. Hand-formed to the exacting standards of the original 1973 911 RSR, the DV | RSR maintains the Porsche pedigree with an original RSR style body. All of the subtle details are there, from the accurate dimensions to the tight body tolerances that are the mark of superior engineering and craftsmanship.

The DV | RSR stays true to period in its driving experience. The original 1973 911 concentrated on speed and high-performance handling, and left the weight of sound-deadening materials and extraneous interior features behind. With the DV | RSR, you feel the road and hear the rush.

Design Velkē hand-forms each body and machines parts to the exacting standards to maintain 1973 911 authenticity. The DV | RSR is available in original Porsche finishes: Signal Yellow, Gulf Blue, Sebring Green, Continental Orange, and others.

Whether you’re a collector, a driver or both, the DV | RSR will take you back to the era.
