Pierre,
it's such a strange story!
I possess all German Auto Motor und Sport, Sport Auto and Rally Racing magazines of that period - this car was never mentioned, though the Carrera RS 3.0 of which only 100 were built got a complete roadtest.
The only thing I can think of is that Porsche managed to homologate a different injection system and built that into 123 cars. This would be the same trick of what Ford did in group 1 (which is the same as group 3, but for touring cars instead of GT's): they managed to homologate carburettors, camshafts etc. for their Capri and Escorts - and I don't think they had to produce more than 100 parts.
