, but still respectful tribute to the classic racecar for drivers who want to celebrate the legendary race series in a car of their own. Painted Bahama Blue with white accents, the car pays homage to Follmer, who raced at Le Mans, as well as in Champ Car, NASCAR, the Indy 500, Formula One, and Can-Am, among others.
Unlike the original, Retro Design’s car is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six engine that generates 300 hp , which is funneled to the rear wheels through a special 915 transmission.says makes the car smoother and more forgiving than the racecar that was piloted by the best drivers of its day. Meanwhile, tower struts, adjustable sway bars, a rear strut bar reinforcement brace, and more help create a stable ride for easier road trips.
It also features Fuchs-style ExtremeContact Sport wheels, high-performance Fikse tires, and Big Red Brake calipers that clamp down on 930 Turbo discs to provide drivers with excellent braking power. An RSR exhaust tip fabricated by RetroDesigns helps give the car a sharper, more motorsports-inspired engine note.

It also gets a heated windshield, an electro cooler, and a roll bar for protection on track. “The 1974 RSR IROC edition presented our team with an interesting set of challenges,” said Daniel Valjevac, the owner of Retro Designs. “We wanted to stay true to the vehicle’s grand racing lineage while also making it suitable for today’s driving conditions and comfortable enough for driver and passenger to take longer trips than just a few laps around the track.”
