Iconic Porsche 911s: Driving the 2.7 RS and 4.0 RS in Challenging Weather

Today on Seen Through Glass, the team finds themselves in Australia, where the weather is more reminiscent of Scotland or Finland than the sunny shores of the Sunshine Coast. But that doesn't dampen their spirits, because they have something special in store: a closer look at two of the greatest Porsche 911s ever made. They start with the origin story, the 1973 2.7 RS, a car that holds a special place in the hearts of Porsche enthusiasts. It's a homologated race car, a true track beast that also happens to be road legal. Despite its age, this classic 911 still delivers a thrilling driving experience, with its small size, excellent visibility, and that unmistakable Porsche charm.

Next up is the 997 4.0 RS, a modern-day track-focused machine that pays homage to its iconic predecessors. This car is all about performance, with a special 4.0L engine that revs up quickly and a rear end borrowed from the GT2 RS. It's loud, it's intense, and it's designed to be a track toy with number plates. Unfortunately, the weather doesn't cooperate, and the team can't fully unleash the beast on the wet roads. But even in these conditions, they can appreciate the sharp handling, precise gear changes, and the sheer joy of driving this special 911.

Despite the challenging weather, the team is grateful for the opportunity to experience these rare and collectible Porsches. The 2.7 RS, with its raw and engaging driving experience, has won their hearts and solidified its place as one of the top classics in their list. The 4.0 RS, while impressive, feels more similar to the modern-day 911s. It's a fantastic machine, but it doesn't quite have the same timeless appeal as its older sibling. Overall, it has been an amazing day of driving these iconic 911s, and the team is left with a newfound appreciation for the heritage and performance of these legendary cars.
