Pre-74 bumpers, and I don't think 1972+ black front vents. Tints, so 1971 911 S seems a reasonable guess. But why is it there? A course/safety/marshals/fire car would not have a racing number (is it #5??). |

It was also there in the original video of the crash, I think... |

It is not a number but the letter R for "Rettung", Rescue. This is similar to a Medical Car.DMSB currently uses a newer 911 for Safety on Nürburgring: Link to "www.dskev.de" Like Aolju said this car also appeared in Real Life, here you can also clearly read the letter "R" -- Last edit: 2014-04-04 11:19:08 |

Well, I know it's quite a long time since your discussion, but there is really great story behind this orange 911: The Fire Engine Porsche 911 That Saved Niki Lauda’s Life And you have to admit that movie makers did a good job - even though this Porsche is only briefly seen in background, not only does it look like the real one, it even stands in exactly the same place with doors open (pic. 2 below)! |

Very confusing. The real one (S-AJ 4024) seems to be an early swb 911S with wide horn grilles, but tweaked with later features (ducktail, wide arches, not-quite-right front spoiler etc). The film car (DonBarto's 2 thumbs from his linked page) seems to be 2 different ones - with and without ducktail. The 2nd thumb without ducktail seems to have 1972-73 2.4 badge in plated rear grille and tints so 1972 911 S or E. Nothing else seen clearly enough to really say anything useful about the ducktail film car. |
