History of the 1974-1975 US Carrera

The Carrera went from being a limited-production special to assuming the previous “S” role as the top-of-the-line performance model. All models have a larger 2.7 Liter engine. The Rest of the World (RoW) Carrera continued with 210 horsepower, mechanical fuel injection version that debuted in 1973, but the U.S. Carrera, to meet emissions standards, had the same 175-horsepower K-Jetronic version as the 911S. The base 911’s 2.7-liter was fitted with the K-Jetronic fuel injection and developed 150 horsepower.

The 911 Carreras had three-spoke leather-wrapped steering, larger 6Jx15 front, 7Jx15 rear Fuch alloy wheels, flared rear fenders, factory ducktail, and Carrera front spoiler.

Prices (United States): Base 911 – $9,950; 911S – $11,875; and the Carrera – $13,575 with $850 dollars being added for Targa versions. Popular options costs included five-speed manual transmissions – $250; air conditioning – $1,125; power sunroof – $615, and alloy wheels – $605.
