1975 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 in Platinum Diamond Metallic for sale!
The Carrera 3.0 has a very special place in the history of the Porsche 911, as it brought together elements from two of Porsche’s most legendary cars: the 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS and the 1975 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.0. It was only produced for two years from 1975 until 1976, and just 2.546 Carrera 3.0 coupé cars were built.
The Carrera 3.0 engine was essentially the 911 Turbo’s 2994cc engine minus the turbocharger. Built before the ‘911 SC’ it has everything the SC has, and more. It’s a different drive with more power (200 hp) and it was 10% lighter too. It has the 6 bolt flywheel and a crank from the legendary 73 Carrera RS. The 3.0 Carrera would go on to be the basis for all later developed 911‘s up to 1989 including the 911 SC and 3.2 Carrera. Performance numbers for the Carrera 3.0 are astonishingly similar to those of the famed 2.7 Carrera RS of the early seventies and it’s the last time Porsche would use the Carrera name until 1985.
