The Carrera 3.0 occupies a very special place in the history of the Porsche 911, because it combined elements of two of the most legendary Porsche 911s: the Porsche 911 Carrera RS of 1973 and the Porsche 911 Turbo 3.0 of 1975. Produced for only two years from 1975 to 1976 and only 2,546 Carrera 3.0 coupes were built.
The engine of the Carrera 3.0 was essentially the 2994 cc engine of the 911 Turbo minus the turbocharger. Built before the « 911 SC », it has everything the SC has and more. The Carrera 3.0 has more power (200 hp) and was still 10% lighter. In addition, the Carrera 3.0 has the steering wheel and crankshaft of the legendary Carrera RS ’73. The 3.0 Carrera would form the basis for all later 911s developed until 1989, including the 911 SC and the 3.2 Carrera. The performance of the 3.0 Carrera is surprisingly comparable to the famous 2.7 Carrera RS of the early 1970s and it was the last time Porsche used the Carrera name until 1985.
Straderial presents this 1976 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0L presented in its original Diamond Green Metallic color, or also called Ice Green Metallic. This one is as beautiful as it is surprising. With only 92,300 km and a recently restored engine, this car is in perfect working order. Delivered in Germany in October 1976, it will go to Japan before coming to France to a collector in search of cars with rare colors. Here, the matching rims in the same tone are of the most beautiful effect. The color is striking and the magic really works.
The car is matching numbers. The engine has recently been restored by a specialist. The transmission and the rest of the mechanics work perfectly. The underbody has been treated by cryogenics and reveals a superb condition.
The bi-material upholstery with the central part in striped fabric is in very good condition. The association is beautiful and reveals a particular cachet for this already so rare model.
An opportunity not to be missed considering the rarity of the model and the general love for this car.
