Often regarded as the benchmark for every sports car->ke506, the Porsche 911 classic -- built between 1963 and 1989 -- is arguably one of the most popular vehicles among enthusiasts, which is why these iconic models continue to gain value in today's vintage car market.

None of them are actually affordable to the average Joe, but certain models can fetch hundreds of thousand of dollars, if not beyond a full million in the case of Le Mans-winning racers such as the 917 or the 956/962, and a couple of 1,000+ horsepower Can-Am machines. Another track-conquering Porsche found on every wealthy collector's list is the RSR, a heavily modified 911->ke282 developed for Group 4 motorsport purposes in the mid-1970s.

Each of the 54 units produced in Stuttgart have their own spectacular stories to tell, but there's one specific model that can top them all: the Carrera RSR previously owned by Giorgio Schon, son of renowned fashion designed Mila Schon. Acquired in 1974 for the World Manufacturers' Championship and wrapped in one of the most intriguing liveries to hit the race tracks->ke447, this fast and nimble race car->ke148 tackled the famed Monza 1000km, Giro d'Italia, Targa Florio and the Mugello Ronde Rallye events between 1974 and 1976.

Sold to Patrick Pierron of Monaco in 1976, the Giorgio Schon RSR took part in various track competitions, before being restored a repainted in its original lime green color in 2009. Now, following yet another restoration, the race car gained its historic 1974 Monza 1000 km livery back.

Porsche RSR Mila Schon racer in detail

Just like any other 3.0 Carrera RSR, the Giorgio Schon racer wears a number of aerodynamic body updates that include revised bumpers, wider wheel arches, and a huge rear wing. Under its rear hood resides a Type 911/75, 3.0-liter engine with high butterfly throttle that generates 334 horsepower. What makes this Porsche different than any other RSR is its distinctive blue, light green and white livery, an attire designed by Mila Schon himself.
