A full-scale wall-mounted sculpture inspired by the 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 is drawing attention for its sheer size and historical accuracy. Designed to resemble a life-sized model kit frozen mid-assembly, the piece recreates one of Porsche’s most important homologation cars at a true 1:1 scale.
The wall display measures approximately seven meters wide and three meters high, or roughly 23 feet by nearly 10 feet. Despite its dramatic footprint, the structure is engineered to break down into individual components, allowing it to be shipped on a three-meter pallet. That practical detail makes transportation and installation more manageable for collectors with the space to display it.
The sculpture pays tribute to the original 911 Carrera RS 2.7, a car developed specifically to meet FIA Group 4 homologation requirements. Porsche initially intended to build just 500 roadgoing examples, but demand exceeded expectations. The model debuted at the Paris Motor Show in October 1972, with the first production run selling out within weeks. Production ultimately reached 1,580 cars by mid-1973, allowing the RS to be homologated for both Group 3 and Group 4 competition.
Powering the original RS was a fuel-injected 2.7-liter air-cooled flat-six producing 207 horsepower, paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Lightweight construction and aerodynamic efficiency defined the car, with the now-famous ducktail rear spoiler developed in a wind tunnel to reduce lift and improve stability at speed. The Sport specification emphasized minimal weight, while the Touring version offered additional comfort at the expense of added mass.
The wall-mounted display mirrors those historical details closely. It features composite body panels, a galvanized steel frame, and authentic Fuchs wheels fitted with period-correct Pirelli CN36 tires. Finished in white with green graphics, the piece includes accurate badging, lighting, mirrors, and exterior hardware.
The 1:1 scale Porsche 911 Carrera RS kit-style wall sculpture is currently offered for sale through Collecting Cars in Shropshire, United Kingdom, positioning it as a rare crossover between automotive history, industrial design, and large-scale art. See the listing here.
