1974 was a watershed year for the Porsche 911 as it was the first year of the new G series, which introduced a strengthened chassis to meet tough new US safety standards. The inner structure of the tub was reinforced, new “impact” bumpers with shock absorbers were integrated front and rear for a smooth appearance, a new “short-hood” look was introduced, and the doors received new internal bracing to improve side-impact resistance. The revised front trunk space now contained a single battery and a collapsible spare tire nestled over its 21-gallon fuel tank.

To meet US emissions requirements, US-specification Carreras used the same 175-horsepower engine with K-Jetronic fuel injection as the 911 S rather than the mechanically fuel-injected engine from the 1973 Carrera RS. That said, the new Carrera was still a muscular and good-looking machine, with flared fenders, wider wheels, and an iconic ducktail on the engine cover. It was also a stout performer, capable of reaching 60 mph from a standing start in just 6.5 seconds and topping out at 142 mph.
