PORSCHE 911 SC RS
1984
The Porsche 911 SC RS is the first car Prodrive made, winning on its debut at the 1984 Qatar Rally. Porsche originally built 20 of the specially homologated cars and Prodrive took eight and converted them into Group B rally cars for Henri Toivonen to compete in the European Rally Championship and for Saeed Al Hajri in the new FIA Middle East Rally Championship.
Prodrive ran the cars for four years up until 1987, winning two Middle East titles. If it weren’t for a back injury, forcing Toivonen to miss several events, he would certainly have won the European title too in 1984, instead finishing second.
Being a rear wheel drive car, the Porsche was ultimately not able to compete with the new breed of four wheel drive cars despite competitive outings in the World Rally Championship at the Acropolis Rally.
