Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2

Il veicolo in dettaglio

The generation of 911 SC was almost the last generation of 911. Faced with the discontent of its customers and enthusiasts, Porsche finally chose to maintain the car to its catalog, under the leadership of Peter Schutz, and replace the 3.0 liters equipping the SC with a 3.2 from 1983 that will give a new dynamic to the 911 range.

Presented at the Frankfurt show 1983, the 911 3.2 does not evolve aesthetically compared to the last SC, except for certain details. Rims include serial phone rims in 15 inches, Fuchs are still available as an option.

The engine of the Carrera 3.2 had to take into account many constraints in terms of consumption and pollution for sale in the US market, the first market of Porsche. The block is the aluminum block of the SC raised to 3 164 cm3 of cubic capacity, and developing now 231 cv against 204 hp for the last SC. The K-jetronic is replaced by a new Bosch DME ignition and injection control system.

The gearbox is at first the 915 developed for the 2.4S in 1972. The great evolution of the 3.2 will come from 1987 with the appearance of the G50 box, developed by Getrag, faster and more accurate than the 915 .
