A real treasure is tucked away in Thomas Müller's garage in the Bavarian town of Tegernsee: an original Carrera RS. Müller searched long and hard to find his 1973 Porsche Carrera RS, as only some 1500 were ever made. The RS was the first Porsche 911 to sport the Carrera name. Compared to the standard 911s of the time, the RS was built using thinner glass and sheet metal, making it around 100 kilos lighter. It was also the first Porsche to ever be fitted with a large rear spoiler. This classic car is so sought after that many fans have created replicas from standard 911 models. This makes Thomas Müller all the more proud to own a true original.
