Modified 1970 Porsche 911T RSR-Style Coupe Blends Vintage Racing Heritage On Bring A Trailer
Read the full story on Modern Car Collector A 1970 Porsche 911T coupe reimagined with RSR-style flair and modern performance upgrades is turning heads in the collector car world, now being offered on dealer consignment in Arizona with a clean title. The car, originally sold as a 911T, has undergone extensive modifications over several decades, culminating in a dramatic transformation under the current ownership since its purchase on Bring a Trailer in 2019. The most recent updates were carried out by Porsche specialists at Exclusive Motorcars of Phoenix. The centerpiece of the build is a 3.4-liter flat-six engine, sourced from a Carrera 3.2 and rebuilt with Mahle pistons, 993 Super Sport-spec camshafts, stainless-steel valves, and an RSR-style stainless exhaust. Paired with a rebuilt five-speed manual transaxle, limited-slip differential, and WEVO short shifter, the setup delivers robust power with vintage driving engagement. Visually, the coupe boasts period-inspired RSR styling with a fiberglass ducktail decklid, flared steel arches, RSR-style hood with a central fuel filler, and blue Carrera graphics over a white repaint. Additional flourishes include drilled door handles, polycarbonate louvered quarter windows, and fiberglass bumpers with custom perforations. The interior is race-focused and minimal, featuring black fixed-back seats with grommet ventilation, blue Sabelt harnesses, lightweight door cards, a MOMO Prototipo steering wheel, Rennline pedals, and a custom Longacre switch panel. VDO gauges maintain a classic Porsche layout, with an 8k-rpm tachometer at center. Rolling on staggered blue-finished Fuchs-style wheels with polished lips and wrapped in Pirelli rubber, the car also features Wilwood disc brakes with cross-drilled rotors for enhanced stopping power. With a full body-off restoration, track-ready components, and bespoke details throughout, this RSR-style 911T represents a well-executed fusion of Porsche heritage and custom craftsmanship.

Porsche 911 Dakar Could Return With GTS-Style Hybrid Power
Porsche is in the process of releasing a wide variety of updated 911s for the 992.2 sub-generation, from the humble 911 T to the not-so-humble 911 GT3. Next on the list is likely to be a new 911 Turbo, but following that may be a beloved limited-run model — one that first debuted just over two years ago. The 911 Dakar may be coming back soon, according to a new report, and it may be getting a serious electrified boost. This fresh report comes from Britain's Autocar, which claims that the next Dakar could get the T-Hybrid system from the latest 911 Carrera GTS. According to the magazine's sources, another limited run of Dakar models could be launched at the end of 2025. If it does indeed pack hybrid tech, the 992.2 generation Dakar would almost certainly be quicker than its predecessor. The first Dakar's twin-turbo flat-six brought 473 hp, while the current hybrid 911 GTS produces 532 hp with the help of a 1.9-kWh battery and an electric motor housed in the car's PDK dual-clutch transmission. A hybrid Dakar would likely produce similar numbers, although the lifted 911 may not match the road-oriented GTS's 2.9-second sprint from 0 to 60 mph. Autocar suggests that the next Dakar should be more expensive than its predecessor, which would follow a trend of 911 variants becoming quicker, more impressive, and more expensive for the 992.2 update. The first 911 Dakar's configurator started at a healthy $220,000, so the updated 911 off-roader is not expected to be anything close to a bargain. The magazine also says that the car will be built in limited numbers; last time around, the Dakar was limited to a 2500-unit run, so we'd imagine any future installments to stick to similar quantities.
