narrowbody 2.7 rs mules?

[911T1971]

Did that article give the name of the engineer that worked on ..then purchased 0013. And it say what Dept. he was from ?

Car 013 was recently again published in Aichele "Porsche Raritäten" (german only).

It also states that an initial built 2.7 testing mule was built from april 1972 on during three months by Wolfgang Berger at the Rennsportabteilung/dept. and tested first on july 25.th 1972 on 1000km Oesterreichring/Austriaring with drivers Steckkönig/Waaldegaard.
Paralell, the Serienwagenabteilung/dept also built other 2.7l mules based on 2.4S models to be marketed later (for 1000 homologation reg.)

Number 013 is today owned by Uwe Kurzenberger, Germany.
Another 2.7mule was red and owned by Piech. Its now in the Technisches Museum, Vienna.
Aichele does not state how Kurzenberger bought the car. (i might dig into my archive to get the french article).
It does not talk about a Ferry owned 911 (or 2.7 in this instance)

On the blue car it looks like the 118 fog/driving lights are mounted up side down under the bumper, ever seen this before?

Thank you 911T1971 ,

I would love to hear any more details if you see any in the french article. I know of W. Berger , he was the project leader (lead engineer) for the 930 reporting to Helmuth Flegl ('father' of the whole project) ....along with engineers (?) Reitter / chassis design and (Hans) Mezger / engine design.

Wolfgang Berger was was also in charge of the 934 project , and later senior head of quality control at Zuffenhausen.

The man listed as current owner of 0013 , I don't think is the original engineer mentioned concerning it. He seems to be a collector in DE , who also owns Safari - 0285 (or at least did ...from a German article I just read. He found it in 1990 it stated). In fact , I did not remember it until I just looked at a photo I have and had labeled , but I think he's a contributor here.

*note ....I might be incorrect on the last statement. An owner of one of the three 73-74 safari cars has posted here prior.

I came across this car in Paris last sept. Did not know what is was, thought a modfied 2.4 S.

What do you think?

[911T1971]

Ive seen this car on a french forum a few years back, it has two exhausts.
I always thought its a well built and good looking replica. But happy to learn its actually real.

Is it real? I don't know. No expert on these cars. If it is real it is à rare beast (-;
