27.03.2025The Porsche 911 that became a legend with its ducktail and boxer heart

When Porsche presented the first generation of the 911 at the IAA in Frankfurt in 1963, hardly anyone suspected that this sports car would one day become an icon of German automotive history. The Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 represents a particularly legendary version. In the early 1970s, Porsche designed this car specifically for participation in GT championships – with the clear goal of combining motorsport suitability with road legality. The RS 2.7 was light, powerful, and uncompromising – a homologation vehicle with character. Particularly striking: the characteristic "ducktail" rear spoiler, which caused a stir at the time and is considered a style icon today.

The model from the label Ixo now brings this legend to the display case as a precisely reproduced 1:8 scale kit. With its 713 parts, a length of over 50 centimeters, and a weight of approximately 6.4 kilograms, this kit is not a toy, but a professional homage to a legend. The version in classic white with green accents is closely based on the original and will delight collectors and hobbyists alike.

In addition to its exterior details – such as the replica "Carrera" logo and the authentic rims – the model's functionality is particularly impressive: The doors, hood, and trunk can be opened. An elaborately designed interior with a dashboard, as well as integrated light and sound functions, ensures that this Porsche 911 RS 2.7 not only impresses on the shelf, but also in the hand. With the included screwdriver, screw set, and well-thought-out instructions, assembly can begin immediately.

With its distinctive design, the air-cooled boxer engine in the rear, and unique driving dynamics, the Porsche 911 quickly evolved from a sports car for enthusiasts to a racing car with cult status. The 2.7-liter flat-six engine produced 210 hp, which, combined with its low weight, enabled impressive performance. Just two years after its launch, the 911 caused a sensation at the 1965 Monte Carlo Rally – laying the foundation for a long motorsport success story.

A true highlight for model builders and Porsche fans: The detailed kit in scale 1:8 of the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 from Ixo combines technical sophistication, historical significance, and pure collecting passion. Moving parts, light, and sound functions make the model a unique experience.
