Porsche 911

THE 2.7 TARGA

In 1974 Porsche introduced its new 911 model with the most obvious change being the black impact bumpers and red wrap around rear light  with PORSCHE inscription. Till 1976 these cars still had lots of chrome like the previous generation: mirror, window frame, door handles, headlight rings,…

The program for the 1974 model included three engine and two construction variants. All vehicles had the 2.7-liter engine. In the 911 and 911 S models with 150 and 175 hp, a Bosch K-Jetronic provided the fuel-air mixture preparation, while in the Carrera the mechanical injection taken over from the predecessor Carrera RS provided for 210 HP. The 911 was available as as coupe and Targa, and for the first time the Carrera could also be ordered with an open roof. While the base prices (from today’s point of view) were quite attractive (26,980 DM for the 911, 30,980 DM for the 911 S), the extras could push up the price considerably. So a fully equipped 911 could cost a whopping 40,000 DM.

Today it became difficult to find an original and unmolested 911!
