The 911 Carrera Club Sport is an exercise in minimalism not equaled by any other impact-bumper 911. With the broad torque curve of a 3.2 and the elemental simplicity of a 2.7RS, this is a very special car. In typical Porsche fashion this car wasn't constructed with a Chapman-era-Lotus-like approach to weightloss, however. Chapman was happy to shave …

However, it was indeed built to fit into the Group B …
