Historical Background of the Porsche 934 RSR
The Porsche 934 RSR, produced from 1976 to 1979, belongs to the seventh generation of the 911 and was introduced in an era of transition and technical innovations in the automotive industry. The Porsche 934 RSR is a homologation model developed for Group 4 racing. Based on the street version of the Porsche 911 Turbo (930), it combined the performance and aerodynamics of a race car with the shape of a sports car approved for everyday use. The 934 was developed by Norbert Singer, an engineer known for his key role in the development of Porsche's most successful racing vehicles.
Technical Features and Innovations
Technically, the Porsche 934 RSR impressed with its air-cooled 3.0-liter six-cylinder boxer engine with a turbocharger. This engine could deliver an impressive 485 horsepower, even more depending on the boost setting. The Porsche 934 RSR was renowned not only for its performance but also for its extensive use of lightweight materials like aluminum and plastic parts. Its front and rear bumpers and fenders were designed for better aerodynamics and were made of glass-fiber reinforced plastic. The transmission was a four-speed manual gearbox specifically built to withstand the extreme demands of motorsport. It also featured a racing intake system and modified fuel delivery for consistent power distribution.

Throughout its motorsport career, the Porsche 934 RSR significantly contributed to Porsche's reputation of having a strong presence in the top racing classes.
