IVY Merit's 1:18 resin Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 wears blue over the ducktail rear spoiler that defined this 1973 homologation special. Sealed resin construction reproduces the lightweight body's Carrera script side decal with sharp, consistent lines. A cornerstone piece for a classic 911 or Rennsport-themed display.
About the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Blue IVY Merit 1:18
TL;DR: IVY Merit's 1:18 resin Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 in blue reproduces the 1973 homologation special built for FIA Group 4 racing. Sealed resin construction holds the ducktail spoiler and Carrera script decal with sharp, consistent lines, suiting a cornerstone piece for a classic-Porsche or Rennsport display.
Porsche built the RS 2.7 to satisfy homologation rules rather than showroom demand, and the ducktail spoiler that resulted became one of the most recognisable shapes in 911 history.
Reproducing the Ducktail and Carrera Script in Sealed Resin
The ducktail's compound curve is a difficult shape to reproduce cleanly, and resin's sealed, single-piece construction handles it better than a hinged diecast body typically can, since there is no bonnet or boot seam running near the spoiler's mounting line to interrupt the surfacing. IVY Merit's approach keeps that curve sharp and continuous, with the large Carrera script running along the lower door in period-correct contrast against the blue bodywork. Sealed resin trades opening doors and engine-bay access for that surface precision, a fair exchange on a subject where the exterior silhouette, not interior mechanical detail, is what collectors actually study. Blue paint gives the script decal a clean, high-contrast background, letting the lettering read sharply rather than blending into a busier or lighter body colour.
Why the RS 2.7 Matters to 911 Collectors
Porsche built the RS 2.7 to homologate the 911 for FIA Group 4 competition, and the lightweight Sport version stripped sound-deadening, rear seats, and other non-essential weight to meet that brief, while a plusher Touring version served buyers who wanted the performance without the compromise. That dual approach, race-ready specification alongside a road-friendly variant, set the template every later 911 RS model would follow. Collectors treat the RS 2.7 as the origin point of Porsche's Rennsport lineage, the car that proved a homologation special could also become a design icon in its own right, which is exactly why it anchors so many classic-911 shelves.
