Description
Lot #662 - During its short two-year lifespan, only 3,687 Carrera 3.0s were built. Out of these, 2,564 were coupes and 1,123 were Targas. In 1977, only 365 left-hand-drive Targas were built, making this car very rare. It sports the prestigious Carrera label exclusively used by Porsche for some of its models and is the last time Porsche would use the Carrera name until the mid-1980s. The Carrera 3.0-liter engine is essentially the 911 turbo engine minus the turbocharger. It is more powerful than the 3.0-liter 911SC, with more power, more torque and is 10% lighter. The performance numbers are similar to the Carrera RS of the early 1970s. Finished in Grand Prix White with black interior, it features 5-speed manual transmission, Fuchs wheels, black Carrera script and the proper rubber Carrera whale tail.
