1972 Porsche 911 Carrera RS with almost no mileage was valued at $1,000,000 (22 photos)
Special edition Porsche sports cars often fetch significant sums at auction, and this is especially true in the case of the 911 Carrera RS from the 1970s. Such two-door cars have iconic status, and high prices for them are achieved not only at auctions, but also appear on the price tags of classic car dealers. A striking example is the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7, released in 1972. They are asking almost a million dollars for it. 
The olive-colored car is up for sale at a Porsche dealership in San Francisco and attracts attention not only for its price, but also for its meager mileage. For more than fifty years since its release, the odometer shows only 6041 miles, or just over 9.7 thousand kilometers.
It is noteworthy that the history of the car is not disclosed in the text of the ad, but the license plate installed on the car indicates its registration in the UK, and from the entries in the official Porsche registry it follows that the 911 was originally intended for the Italian market and was first registered at the beginning of 1973, and its amazing condition and preservation are the merit of not only the owners, but also the restorers.
The Carrera RS 2.7 is powered by a 2.7-liter 6-cylinder air-cooled boxer engine. The output of the unit declared by the factory is 210 forces and 255 Nm of torque, which are transmitted to the rear wheels through a manual gearbox.
The letters RS in the model name stand for Rennsport and mean that the car is part of the so-called homologation series, which is necessary to allow a car to race in a certain class. The sports car differed from the standard 991s of that time not only with a more powerful engine, but also with a lighter body (1075 kg for the Touring modification), retuned suspension, larger brakes, wide tires shod on Fuchs wheels, and the iconic spoiler on the engine compartment lid. The total circulation of these Carrera RS 2.7 is less than 1.6 thousand copies.
