We’re running hot with Porsche sportscar racing fever, so let’s celebrate by taking a look at this glorious 2007 Porsche RS Spyder, which is up for sale at Canepa.

Porsche’s RS Spyder made a significant input into their sportscar racing history, claiming the ALMS LMP2 Championship for three years on the trot from 2006 until 2008 and collecting class wins at Le Mans in 2008 and 2009. Only eleven complete cars were built, of which this car, 9R6-704, is one.

A youngster in our world, the car’s no less a seasoned veteran of the gauntlet of motorsport. Its competition career spanned four years from 2007 to 2010. Dyson Racing was first to let it loose in anger and in it would collect five podiums, including a second in overall in the 2008 12 Hours of Sebring.

Muscle Milk Team Cytosport took over the car for the second half of its competitive career, running it from 2009 to 2010, adding a further eight podiums to its tally. Amongst these were a class win at Sebring in 2010 and an overall win at Lime Rock in 2010.

Since then it’s been cosmetically restored in its Muscle Milk livery and fitted with the engine, transmission and suspension that ran the car to its class win at Sebring in 2010.

Well sorted and ready to race, this beautifully-engineered soon-to-be classic is an awe inspiring machine. It’s up for sale at Canepa, and you can head to their website here for more information.
