Chassis:
Known as R12, this was the first of a pair of Turbo 2.1s intended to be run by the factory team during the 1974 season. It debuted in the hands of Gijs van Lennep and Herbert Muller at the Le Mans 4-Hours race but failed to reach the finish at this occasion. Its best result came a few weeks later when Van Lennep and Muller placed it third overall during the Spa 1000 km. Following its final competitive outing late in June of 1974, it was retained by the factory and is now part of the museum collection. After being a non runner for many years, the first 911 Turbo racer has been treated to a ground up restoration, which was ready in time for Porsche's 70th anniversary celebrations in 2018. It was demonstrated during that year's Goodwood Festival of Speed, with amongst others Gijs van Lennep behind the wheel. In 2023, it was brought out for the Goodwood Members’ Meeting where the 60th anniversary of the Porsche 911 was celebrated with a demonstration of 911 derived competition carrs.
