On the narrow Sicilian mountain roads, the No. 8 911 Carrera RSR delivered Porsche’s 11th—and final—overall Targa Florio victory, in the last edition counted for the World Championship. Against faster prototypes, Müller/van Lennep triumphed through nimbleness, reliability, and flawless race craft, completing 11 laps (792 km) at over 114 km/h average—an achievement that has since become a cornerstone of 911 racing lore.
