The best part about these cars is that they're not too overdone and built to be driven. Relatively affordable compared to that company in California too
You thinking of Singer I imagine? Singer does make some beautiful 911 resto mods. Super expensive, but they are mostly all one off parts manufactured in house and made out of carbon, titanium, billet aluminum, magnesium, gold and Inconel along with full custom ÖHLINS suspension. I would love to have Their Light Design Model with the air cooled flat 6 pushing over 500 NA power. Unfortunately they are built for the high millionaires and billionaire boys and girls club. They are stunning to look at and drive. I would excited as well get a 911 from Rennsport and save a substantial amount of money on a very attractive 911. That's just my shitty 02 worth though.
@@Peanutdenver....Everything you said is accurate. I occasionally see people criticize Singer for having such high prices which is ridiculously ignorant. Their work is amazing and as you said, they manufacture most parts in house using expensive materials. Each Singer 911 also takes around 4,000 man hours to complete. That is 4,000 hours of highly skilled labor. When you actually break it down, the cost of a Singer 911 is very reasonable for what you get. The 911 is this video is amazing but Singer is on another level. Just the difference in labor is astounding. This 911 takes between 900-1,000 man hours to complete and while it uses quality components, they are nowhere near Singer level. Obviously, this difference can be seen in the price. I would love to either one as they are both amazing cars.
I don't understand mechanical nostalgia, so I'd rationally rather have a new one because it is objectively superior - but then again, you could rationalise it by looking at depreciation - the new 911 will lose value, this probably won't.
I love the car but, even more so, I love Mr. Cockell's attitude. These cars are meant to be driven, dammit, and driven hard. And often. Mr. Cockell appears to be building very much a driver's car, in sharp contrast to a few others who seem only to be building for well heeled clients' bragging rights. A man after my own heart. And I say this as a guy who has put an honest quarter million miles on my own 1972 911 R tribute, 3.0 liter twin plugged high compression MFI inducted hooligan hot-rod. It warms my heart to see others unapologetically keeping that spirit alive. Well done, Mr. Cockell...
Beautiful build , I did an RSR in the 1990s using a 1973 911T. As he said no us in building it if you can't drive it. I drove mine in every kind of compition I had the time for driving from Northern California to southern California either I5 or the route 1 an never had any problems. won a lot in auto cross. You make me wish I still had mine. Thanks Rennsport!
The £100K quoted in the vid seemed a bit low to me, so I checked. Looks like they actually start at £160,000 ($208,000). The one in the video likely higher with the bigger 3.5 liter engine. 911rennsport.co.uk/for-sale/sold-1979-33-930-turbo-rennsport-rsr-similar-new-builds-available-£160000
Overbuilt Limited the one you posted was a 930, which cost like double the money when you compare it to a narrow body basis like an old 911 sc So could be possible that they offer ones for 100k
HustlerTrickipedia Yeah I missed that it was a turbo car. I don’t know. The lowest they list is a 3.2 targa starting at £120,000. Out of the ones listed on the site, the closest one to the one featured in the video is actually probably this at £199,000. 911rennsport.co.uk/for-sale/sold-porsche-911-rennsport-38-rsr-4-coupe-£199900
Lol not many, the CEO of my company (he made millions in bonuses last year btw) drives an old Buick. But i suppose you don't build wealth by spending money haha
As somebody who helps to facilitate these builds from different builders for individuals and collectors I must say this is great work and very fair price!
Well there it is. The moment you see and hear an amazing car that makes you catch your breath and wish you could drive one. Fab, just fabulous. Well done that man.
That right there is my dream 911. Perfect blend of modern creature comforts and a classic driving experience. I hope to God that when I finally have the cash to buy this car I can still have the pleasure take my business to this man for my very own special car.
Any average worker today could become a millionaire if they just educated them self on being a good investor. Compounding is the 8th wonder of the world. It can turn an average career earnings of about 1 million into about 5 or 6 million with very little effort. What some youtube videos on value investing. Or check out Dave Ramsey's channel.
Only one problem with this video, it was not long enough! The purists can go detail their first Sunday of the month car show specials, keeps them happy. What Rennsport has done is an awesome way to fill a need. The business owner is clearly into what he has created. Choice of one these vs a 992? One these Rennsport's please.
As a 911 owner I am all for building any car how you want it. They are meant to be driven hard and enjoyed. Need to save and get a build slot. Love the RSR!!
These are a far better buy than those wanky "re-imagined" Californicated tosser's vehcicles because this guy is down to earth. He re-engineers them to be enjoyed, not as an ego accessory. This is also a far better review than that Catchpole with his superlative diahorea. This guy actually enjoys it.
In about twenty years time, the only classic internal combustion engined cars that will exist are these "reimagined" 911s, there are bleedin' hundreds of them, and maybe a Lada.
Full disclosure - I'm not a Porsche fan. But I really enjoyed that video and very impressed with the restoration and modification! If I were a Porsche fan I'd absolutely love what he's done.
I think he answers the question himself at the start of the video, there's nothing sacrilege about it. Porsche himself said it, "I couldn't find the sports car of my dreams so I built it myself".
Really why? IF you have the money already I see no way this car is superior to a Singer, I love both. But both cars will hold their value very well so its really just an investment at that point. Even if you spend the $550k more on the Singer you will get that back, plus some, when/if you sell it.
Very cool cars! Rennsport has captured the essence of early Porsches - incredible driving experience, function first, no opulence. Singers have incredible build quality, but they also have an opulent prissiness. The interior of a Singer smells like an expensive lady’s purse. On the other hand, the $100K-ish cost the narrator mentions doesn’t sound right. Custom body panels, strip to bare metal & full paint, custom built engine with individual throttle bodies (throttle bodies alone are about $20K with ECU and tuning), new interior, etc - the scope of work doesn’t fit $100K. Based on mods I’ve done to my 964, I think in US dollars we’re looking at somewhere north of $250K (not including the initial purchase cost of the car). Great way to modify a an ‘80s 911, but let’s be real about the cost.
Agreed. I used to have a 914 with the 914/6 arches and I wish I still had it today. Mind you, I'd be looking at Subaru engine swap if I did. Unless I'd won the lottery and then it'd be a 4.0 flat six. 😍
Definitely sublime, if it was done on a original 2.7 RS as the guy said, then it would maybe be a sacrilege. Amazing that it's "only" £100k, I say only because Singers don't actually drive that well and they're half a million and more, then there's Workshop 5001's 911 that's more than a million... £100k is about the price of a new one so that's actually manageable
@@juanmj93 Well if I understood correctly yes. Could misunderstood him because I'm not a native English speaker. But even if it's not including the donor car it's still much cheaper than the aforementioned cars
You’ve gotta love that guy. Building the car he really wants and then driving it like he stole it. Car hero right there
That's what it should be about, cars are made to be driven!

That 3.5 sounds absolutely smashing.
Porsche built many variations on the 911 theme. If you want your own versionm, why the heck not. Brilliant!
I’d take this over a new one in an instant. This is beautiful.

Insane classic!!!
Just Masterpiece!
Gorgeous. I’ll have one at some point, I hope.
How can anyone object to taking an 80s 911 and coming up with THAT? It's a work of art!
Seems like a bargain for 100K. As a 2nd motor I'd take that over anything new. Lovely

100% agree. Build it as you want and screw the haters!!
I wonder how many companies can claim that their CEO does doughnuts in the parking lot xD
Eating them?
It’s clear when meeting him he’s a total petrolhead!! Not just Porsche’s.
Porsche is both singular and plural, no 's' required. If you want to add an 's', don't use an apostrophe unless you wish to show possession.
Lol not many, the CEO of my company (he made millions in bonuses last year btw) drives an old Buick. But i suppose you don't build wealth by spending money haha
@@DumbledoreMcCracken I actually disagree, you replace the 'e' at the end with an 'i' for plural. "Porschi" haha
I have to agree with this chaps philosophy!
It's a car, its purpose is to spend time on opposite lock!
I’ve visited Rennsport last year and spoke with Paul, what an amazing place he has and what a fantastic guy so down to earth.
Oh good, another great Porsche restomod that I can't buy. :(
Good news, you are like most of the folks (including me) watching this video, but still cool to know these are out there.
I just want a clean 325i e30 ! A good g50 911 is already another world of expensive
How old are you? See how old that guy is? You have to be able to do things when you're older, so don't rush it, you'll get there
Dream cars are for dreams.
Lol I'm in my 30s and still can't quite afford one of these 😂

I’d lose the sunroof but everything else is perfect.
YK 15 same thing I was thinking
Sunroofs are for ricers and minivans.......
@@MiguelGarcia-vj7oo wouldn't ever think that my 911 is a ricer, nor a minivan, hah.

Good on 'im! This is exactly the right ethos of how and why to build and/or collect cars: To use them how you want.

Build and drive what you want. F the haters. Amazing build!

Brilliant, both the car and the video. Hats off to all involved 👍🏻
Full disclosure - I'm not a Porsche fan. But I really enjoyed that video and very impressed with the restoration and modification! If I were a Porsche fan I'd absolutely love what he's done.
Porsche are the only genuine sports left on the road but that is starting to change.
I love what you guys are doing, I would love one. Ofcourse I am a fan of the California counterpart as well
"Some people are in it as a game of top trumps, I wanna use it" PREACH.
Absolutely gorgeous and I love it.... goals before death one day!
Both Absolutely beautiful and amazing
Ayeeee such a treat im learning something new everytime!
The thing is, people who have these built. Don't do so for appreciation of value... Ferdinand would be proud of your Motor Art.
Absolutely love it, perfectly done.
Excellent
I think I'm in love! 😍 Epic editing as usual, nice smooth transitions. 👌This is what I inspire my channel to be like some day...
top vid thanks for sharing , now i just need 100k these look beautiful and its soo soo good to see him driving it hard
Brilliant video thanks. This guy is awesome!
Smashing homage to the 917 with that shift knob. Kudos.
One of the most beautiful and best cars in the world
Gorgeous.
Like it. Just not keen on the tyre stretch.
I think he answers the question himself at the start of the video, there's nothing sacrilege about it. Porsche himself said it, "I couldn't find the sports car of my dreams so I built it myself".
Beautiful intro.. great vid as usual
That or a 992 Carerra S... Come on that isn't a choice!! Rennsport every single day!!! That is beautiful!
350bhp and 1100kg sounds like a blast, and they're bloody gorgeous.
Definitely sublime
Great build , I would rather buy this than a modern one
Man and a singer cost 650,000$....... I'd keep my 550,000 and get one of these. (In a world where I have this kinda money)
Really why? IF you have the money already I see no way this car is superior to a Singer, I love both. But both cars will hold their value very well so its really just an investment at that point. Even if you spend the $550k more on the Singer you will get that back, plus some, when/if you sell it.
NO HESITATION ,FOR ME...... S....SUBLIME ! What a great job ,i thing it's better than an originale. DDAVIDD- FROM FRANCE.

Bellissimo restauro...
900-1000 hours to build a car is fast, really fast. Would love to visit this shop and meet these guys.
Superb!!
Okay but do a video on the 914 in the back once it's built
Agreed. I used to have a 914 with the 914/6 arches and I wish I still had it today. Mind you, I'd be looking at Subaru engine swap if I did. Unless I'd won the lottery and then it'd be a 4.0 flat six. 😍
Stunner, the 992 is epic but taking one of these would be a no-brainer..
Utterly sublime!
Really enjoy this car
Beautiful.
Great video.
Damn fine, son!
Beautiful machine👌🏽
Sacrilege, no. Homage, yes!!!
People want a fantasy version of an old 911. Not the real unchanged car.
id take the real rsr over a copy any day. but its to expensive and to few
Have you had Ruf yet... would be good if you haven't !
Great insight into Rennsport .. loved his passion!
Those duckbill spoilers are on point
Great job👍👍
He was throwing that thing around!
Dayum.... love it.
Super cool😎👍
I'm coming, when they call from the national lottery 😁👍 Absolutely love the orange color!
This man is living my dream
nothing but respect for this man. Hallefuckinglujah
Actually there is a 2.7rs touring. There where two versions. You could either have the lightweight or the touring which was more luxurious
What a beauty..
RBW is sacrilege ... this is awesome
I would have mine in silver Martini livery and with the wide rear spoiler as the Targa Florio car;)
OOh that is hot papi
Very cool! Id take that over a 992
The US restomods should put ITB with fuel injection and Coil On Plug with standalone ECU. They've already fit a coilovers in them.
Proper stuff
Yes please.
NUT IIP. Great license plate.
1:45 I’m a Porsche Club member, and I don’t think it’s sacrilege; I think it f-ing awesome!
9:30 Damn straight
The term sacrilege is stupid, if someone is offended about what I do with MY car they can go jump off a bridge!
