Porsche 911 Carrera

Porsche 911 Carrera

No Carrera models were produced from model years 1978 to 1983. The only model with naturally aspirated engine produced during this period was the 911 SC.

Surrounds/door handles
In contrast to the 911/911 S, the window surrounds and door handles of the Carrera models were anodised black.

Wheels
The 911 Carrera was fitted with 15" forged alloy wheels from Fuchs as standard. 16" wheels became standard as of MY 1989.

Exterior mirrors
The 911 Carrera models initially had chrome-plated exterior mirrors. As of MY 1976, larger, electrically adjustable exterior mirrors painted in the exterior colour were installed.

Engines
The displacement of the 911 Carrera engine was increased several times during the production period of the G series and the power output varied.

- MY 1974-75 - Displacement: 2.7 litres, power: 210 hp
- MY 1975-77 - Displacement: 3.0 litres, power: 200 hp
- MY 1984-89 - Displacement: 3.2 litres, power: 207 hp – 231 hp

Body
The body of the Carrera was slightly wider than that of the 911/911 S in the area of the rear wings.
Carrera models as of MY 1984 are recognisable by the side direction indicators in the front wings.
As of MY 1984, the 911 Carrera was optionally available with a front spoiler made from polyurethane (PU) and a flat rear wing with a black, hard rubber border, which was specifically designed for this model.

Headlamp rings
The headlamp rings of the 911 Carrera were initially chrome-plated, as of MY 1976 they were painted in the exterior colour.

Porsche - Exterior panelling precision.

Exterior panelling precision.

A perfect fit to the body of the car is an important aspect of the Porsche quality standard. After all, the second skin must sit like a tailor-made suit. It must be precise to the millimetre. Through a series of wide-ranging measures, the Porsche Classic experts have managed to achieve considerable improvements in the production quality of wings and side sections for the Porsche 911 (model years 1965 to 1994). This also enabled the thin-plate parts of the legendary 911 Carrera RS 2.7 - of which only 1,580 were built in total in the years 1972 and 1973 - to be relaunched for the first time.
