1970 Porsche 911 RSR Tribute: Pure And Simple - Petrolicious

Learn more about Drive Tastefully Quarterly, and other features of Petrolicious Membership here: petro.li/Membership
From its humble beginnings, this 1970 911 enjoyed a varied life, most notably as a rather tasty ‘73 RS replica. It was running well, and beating most-everything off the line around the New-South Wales area of Australia, right up until the 3.0 SC engine gave up with an expensive bang. However, what arose from the ashes of that fateful incident was this, its final, most alluring, potent, primal form: a 3.8-liter (yes, 3.8!) RSR tribute car.

Its funny how it is almost 50 years old, but still look like a fresh youngster ! That design never gets old !

[@zXPeterz14]

It definitely looks old now

[@AndorRadnai]

That’s also because Porsche’s don’t change much. They evolve. In a timeless fashion.

[@sagablott7253]

Old 911 pure and awesome :)

[@heliopolis29]

Absolutely. They are stunning and going up in value loads. Lovely to drive.

[@Bebopin-69]

It is just like me ;-)

[@davonpointer2310]

Sublime, car, story, film, editing... my only complaint is that it isn't long enough. Chapeau Petrolicious 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@Carrera-gp9od]

Gorgeous car , love the colour ,it sounds magnificent too🙏

[@tuckerdoud3690]

Carrera 1972 i was thinking the exact same way!

[@Khiladi_99]

The R32 GT-R is my dream car but I have to say if I was in that man's shoes and had seen that Porsche on the other side of the street, I would have had second thoughts too!!!!

[@bradcarpenter1881]

Bhargav Bose he was looking at an R33 when he was distracted by the 911, which the R33 is personally my favorite GTR, but the 911 is my dream car hands down!

[@Khiladi_99]

@@bradcarpenter1881 yeah, I noticed that. Guess I am not the only GT-R guy looking into Porsches 😏

[@lukas6610]

993's are stunning

[@Ash-928]

The C10 and R32 are my favourite GT-Rs and in my top ten cars along with the air cooled 911s.

[@fthyme87]

Not much that sounds better than this! What a glorious dream machine!

[@hellaflush49]

Whoever edits and films these videos you have amazing talent sir and a very good eye god bless you

[@jimgoodlett5304]

Petrolicious provides a platform for filmmakers to do great auto cinema....that said, they also unfortunately strip the names of the person or team that do the film work, pay them a few quid in return, and puts their Petrolicious brand on it instead...many a great filmmaker have come from these anonymous films...

[@chriscarbaugh3936]

You have built, designed and had built the perfect 911 for you. And in my book that is about as cool as it gets. I am doing the same thing myself. It’s a slow process, expensive and financially stupid and yet blokes like us still do it. Sure I could have had a new 911 but that’s not the same. Either you “get it” or you don’t 👍 Lovely car! As Jay Leno would say “nicely done”

[@bngr_bngr]

My 87 Carrera has over 300,000 miles. I’m still waiting for the engine to blow up.

[@mr.x8391]

Not to one up you, but my 82 has 415,00 miles and counting. These are great machines that were built to run and I still get the stares and thumbs up every time it hits the road.

[@bngr_bngr]

Mr. X thats fantastic. Besides changing the oil, I sometimes get new sparks plugs, distributor cap, and gas cap. I also have the valves adjusted every 25,000 miles.

[@schalke04chester]

My 1986 944 also has 260k miles on it and the little 165hp from factory still pull like a champ! It reaches 240kmh easily on the autobahn and I'm not pampering the car either.

[@mr.x8391]

bngr bngr Agreed!!! These are not complicated vehicles. These are vehicles that will take you on a journey of passion for a car that was derived from a Volkswagen beetle. Some are scared to dive into these cars, but to those I say life is too short to drive boring cars. Best to you and yours cars.

[@jrharlow4360]

Dude look save yourself the heartache and just pass the car along. . Like a torch or something, to me.. pass the car along to ME.

[@eugeniozanda7230]

Those vintage porsche are the very best...!

[@BoLamy]

Thanks for the next story about .... 911! How nice to see an open, interesting and positive person. What a spark in his soul he conveys to the audience his feelings about the legendary model of the 70s! Nice to see another job from the Petrolius team! Bravo)))

[@genemounce8302]

I'm very proud to say I had Don Jackson as a father in law and was taught how to work on and occasionally ride in one of these.... as always, ...God speed D.J.

[@AlanShirtsink]

Don was a treasure vault of knowledge. I am proud to say he worked on my cars. Now it has passed to DJ and John

[@scottsterry8119]

Check out mine on @workinhardorhardlyworkin on insta :)

[@jamessimpson5452]

@@Drifty325i Nice, it's like the one I saw when I was a kid. The closest I came to owning a Porsche was the 67' 912 I made an offer on back on 89', owner changed his mind.

Glorious sound - a great car

[@Perry_dAccard]

And there are people who actually believe that a Tesla is more exciting than this...... HOW?!

[@jamesshunt5123]

WHY do you care what others believe?? Think for *yourself* ! Be glad you have your taste and others don't. Grow up. Respect other people's right to have another taste than you. Praise this car don't make it your personal vendetta against modern cars. What's wrong with you?

[@Perry_dAccard]

@@jamesshunt5123 Good point. But. I like to know and understand things, also opinions. No doubt, Tesla cars sport some incredible tech and, from a more pragmatic standpoint, one might argue a Model 3 is better than this Porsche. And one would probably be right. But the word I would like to emphasise on is 'pragmatic'. Not exciting stuff, that. The only pro EV arguments I constantly get are 'acceleration is better' (who actually cares except 13yr olds?) and 'it's quiet and comfortable and way more practical and way cheaper to run'... Yeah....they're missing the point. Like comparing Mummenschanz to Metallica. Sorry for the essay, I hope you see my point.

[@MD-qp8gj]

A Tesla is an appliance this Porsche is a work of art.

[@Aikaramba12]

I own a Tesla, but i absolutely love classic Porsches, the Tesla and a classic 911 are Two completely different things. Both are awesome in their own way
