This month, RM Sotheby’s spotlights The Outlaw Collection, a live auction dedicated to the personal cars of Magnus Walker — British-born designer, Los Angeles-based customiser, and the figure widely known as the “Urban Outlaw.” Spanning 162 lots and nearly five decades of Porsche production, the sale charts the evolution of both the marque and one of its most recognisable modern interpreters.
From early short-wheelbase 911s to wide-bodied Turbos and the often-overlooked front-engined cars of the 1980s and 1990s, the collection reflects the breadth of Walker’s taste and the depth of his involvement in Porsche culture. The second drop of lots has now concluded, with the final release having taken place on 3 March 2026.
Walker began collecting Porsches in 1992. Over time, he built not only a significant collection — including 911s, 914s, 928s and 944s — but also a distinct visual identity. His “outlaw” style blends 1970s motorsport cues with purposeful, road-driven performance. Louvered engine lids, lightweight components and visible patina are recurring themes. Having founded Serious Clothing, his background in fashion guides much of his aesthetic sensibility, and his global profile expanded significantly following the 2012 documentary Urban Outlaw. Below, we present three handpicked models that capture different eras of Porsche history through Walker’s legendary collection.
1976 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 MFI
At first glance, this 1976 911 appears to be a relatively standard G-series example. In reality, it is one of the rarest production variants of its period. The Carrera 2.7 MFI is powered by the Type 911/83 engine — the same 210-horsepower, Bosch mechanical fuel-injected flat-six found in the 1973 Carrera RS 2.7. Raw and immediate in delivery, it offers sharper throttle response and a more aggressive induction character than the later CIS-equipped cars that followed.
Between 1974 and 1976, Porsche produced 1,633 Carrera 2.7 MFI coupes. For 1976 — as the model was being phased out in favour of the Carrera 3.0-litre — just 113 final examples were assembled. All were sunroof-delete “slick-top” coupes, all fitted with the RS-spec MFI engine, and all reportedly destined for the German market as homologation “Sondermodells” for a racing series that ultimately never materialised. These cars marked the end of mechanical fuel injection in street-legal 911s; after 1976, MFI was reserved exclusively for competition cars such as the 934 ½, 935 and later 911 SC/RS.
Magnus Walker acquired this example in 2009 after identifying its unusual VIN configuration — including a “9” designation linked to homologation models — and verifying its rarity. It is believed to be the 23rd of the 113 Sondermodells produced. According to its accompanying Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, it left the factory finished in Silbermetallic (Z2) over black leatherette, optioned with a radio antenna, front loudspeakers and noise suppression.
Though Walker has added personal touches — including tartan velour bucket seats, a ducktail, Carrera side script and a two-tone hood treatment — the car retains its original numbers-matching engine. Beneath its understated G-series appearance lies one of the final roadgoing examples of Porsche’s race-bred mechanical fuel injection lineage.
1976 Porsche 911 Turbo
The European-market 3.0-litre 930 Turbo occupies a special place among early forced-induction 911s. Producing 260 horsepower — compared to the 240 horsepower of US-spec cars — it benefits from a different cam profile while retaining the same 3.0-litre engine and four-speed transmission. The result is a slightly more responsive driving character.
Chassis 9306700216 is a Swiss-delivery, sunroof-delete example finished in Minerva Blue Metallic. As a Euro-specification car, it features the smaller bumper overriders absent from US models, contributing to a cleaner visual profile and marginally increased headroom. Originally delivered with a full white leather interior, it now features blue leather and corduroy seats sourced from Walker’s 1978 911 “78SCHR,” introducing a distinctive textural contrast.
Acquired by Walker in 2013, the car reflects his outlaw philosophy. It rides on deep-dished, Fuchs-inspired wheels developed in collaboration with Fifteen52 — the very first set produced in what became his Outlaw Wheel project. The staggered setup (225/50-15 front, 245/45-15 rear) is wrapped in Hoosier R6 tyres. Combined with a lowered ride height, the stance recalls the race-bred Porsche 934.
A semi-custom “Hooligan” exhaust system by RarlyL8 adds a sharper, more pronounced soundtrack, emphasising turbo spool and overrun. The engine remains numbers-matching, as confirmed by Porsche expert Jürgen Barth. Repainted in a close variation of its original Minerva Blue and finished in gold-bronze with black centres, the car balances collectability with unmistakable personality.
As an early Euro-spec 930 Turbo, it is inherently desirable. In Walker’s hands, it became something more individual — positioned at the intersection of performance and style.
1966 Porsche 911
Completed in January 1966 and delivered that spring through Porsche Car Pacific of Burlingame, California, this Irish Green 911 represents one of the earliest short-wheelbase examples in Walker’s collection. Its accompanying Kardex lists “B. Wilson” as the original owner, though no further details are recorded.
Walker acquired the car in 2009 following a brief inspection trip to Seattle. It retains its numbers-matching flat-six engine and is currently fitted with an earlier type 901/0 gearbox (number 100717). The car wears a repaint in its factory-correct Irish Green (Irishgrün) over Black leatherette. The original interior, carpets and wood-rimmed steering wheel show authentic, well-preserved patina.
After purchase, Walker replaced non-period Fuchs wheels with grey-coated steel wheels — run without hubcaps — giving the car a purposeful, understated stance. On narrow 70-series tyres, the driving experience remains tactile and engaging, characterised by body roll and feedback that reflect the 911’s early character.
Unlike many of Walker’s more extensively modified cars, this example remains largely unaltered. It has appeared at select cars and coffee gatherings and featured in a 2013 XCAR video but has otherwise remained a long-term fixture in his garage. In his words, it was never “improved” or “butchered,” retaining precisely the patina and character that first drew him to it.
