Among bespoke air-cooled Porsche builds, few deliver the visual drama and analogue purity of this exceptional Porsche 911 Rindt RSR Evocation

Built from a genuine 1968 short-wheelbase Porsche 911 platform and meticulously reimagined into a Rindt-inspired RSR evocation, this exceptional machine blends the raw character of early air-cooled Porsche competition cars with carefully integrated modern engineering and usability enhancements.

The result is not merely a restored classic Porsche, but a highly focused analogue driving machine created for enthusiasts who appreciate both authenticity and performance.

Finished in striking Viper Green with aggressive wide-body RSR styling, this build perfectly captures the visual drama and motorsport DNA associated with the legendary Porsche racing era of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

A Short-Wheelbase Porsche Reimagined

The foundation of this build is especially significant.

Early short-wheelbase Porsche 911 models occupy a highly respected place within Porsche history thanks to their lightweight construction, compact dimensions, and famously engaging driving characteristics.

Rindt have become widely recognised for producing some of the most respected Porsche evocations in the world — combining historical inspiration with discreet modern improvements designed to enhance reliability, drivability, and overall performance.

This particular example was comprehensively transformed into a wide-bodied RSR-inspired configuration while preserving the emotional character of the original air-cooled platform.

Rebuilt 3.2-Litre Flat-Six Performance

At the heart of the car lies a fully rebuilt 3.2-litre flat-six engine.

Unlike many traditional classic restorations, this build integrates carefully selected upgrades to improve throttle response, drivability, and reliability without losing the analogue character expected from an early Porsche.

Key performance highlights include:

  • Rebuilt 3.2-litre flat-six engine
  • Jenvey throttle body injection system
  • Rebuilt gearbox
  • Lightweight short-wheelbase chassis
  • Motorsport-inspired suspension setup
  • Period-correct driving dynamics

The Jenvey throttle bodies significantly sharpen engine response while maintaining the naturally aspirated feel and unmistakable soundtrack of an air-cooled Porsche flat-six.

Wide-Body RSR Styling

Visually, the car captures the unmistakable aggression of Porsche’s legendary racing 911s.

The exterior restoration included:

  • Widened front and rear arches
  • Bare-metal body restoration
  • Novol Classic Viper Green respray
  • Group 4 Campagnolo alloy wheels
  • Period-correct tyres

The proportions, stance, and detailing evoke the iconic RSR competition cars that dominated endurance racing during Porsche’s golden motorsport era.

The Viper Green finish further amplifies the car’s visual impact while remaining highly period-correct in spirit.

A Classic Porsche with Modern Usability

Unlike many vintage race-inspired builds that compromise usability, this Rindt evocation integrates subtle modern comforts designed to enhance the ownership experience.

Inside, the restored cabin combines classic Porsche aesthetics with discreet technology upgrades, including:

  • Restored period-style interior
  • Modern digital dials
  • Smartphone connectivity
  • Kenwood infotainment system
  • Electronic air conditioning

These additions improve everyday usability without diluting the analogue nature of the driving experience.

An Analogue Driver’s Porsche

What makes builds like this especially desirable is their balance between classic Porsche emotion and usable performance.

The combination of:

  • Lightweight SWB chassis
  • Naturally aspirated flat-six power
  • Manual gearbox
  • Motorsport-inspired setup
  • Compact dimensions

creates a driving experience that feels increasingly rare in the modern automotive world.

This is not simply a collector piece designed to remain static inside a garage — it is a car engineered to be driven and enjoyed.
