PARAGON-MODELS - 1/64 - PORSCHE 911 CARRERA RSR 3.0 1975 JAEGERMEISTER

The 1973 911 Carrera 2.7 RS is the most recognised and sought after of Porsches (citation needed), with its ducktail spoiler and familiar 911 narrow body - replicas exist in all scales by many modelmakers. Its successor remains unrepresented in premium 1:64 – until now. PARA64 brings another barn-find to the community under advice from Beardedmugmedia.

Significant changes were made in 1974 adding a 3.0L engine, wider wheels with center-lock hubs, front spoiler with oil-cooler and the distinctive ‘whale-tail’ wing.
The result dominated the GT category – with the 3.0 RSR becoming the most successful Gr.4 racing car of its time.

After regulation changes made the all-conquering 917 obsolete, Porsche factory concentrated on the turbocharged 934/935, tasking privateers such as Kremer and Gelo in Europe and Brumos in the US to wield the 3.0 RSR. 52 RSR 3.0s were built in Weissach, but FOMO drove numerous customers to update their earlier 911s to RSR spec.
