Designated "Carrera RS" (RennSport), the newcomer was intended as a limited-edition product for Group 4 GT racing, a class that required a minimum of 500 built. However, the resulting demand for this fabulous car proved so great that the production run was later progressively extended, ending up at 1,590 units. Revised suspension and wider wheels improved the handling, while the Bosch mechanically fuel-injected, 2.7-liter engine's 210 horsepower maximum boosted top speed to within a whisker of 150mph. The next major development was the arrival of a new 3.0-liter engine, derived from that of the Type 930 Turbo. Introduced in the autumn of 1975 as a 1976 model, the 3.0-liter Carrera was destined for a relatively short life, disappearing when the 911 range was upgraded to "SC" specification for 1978. Its introduction marked an important development in the 911's production process: the adoption of Thyssen anti-corrosion zinc coating for the steel body panels, which was a vast improvement on previous methods. Also new was a five-blade cooling fan (replacing the preceding 11-blade unit) which ran faster to improve alternator output. The 3.0 Carrera pioneered the new Bosch K-Jetronic CIS fuel injection and was one of the earliest Porsches to attain reasonable fuel consumption without a significant performance loss. In addition, the 3.0s have the six-bolt flywheel and a crank from the Carrera RS and became the basis for all future 911's up to 1989, including the SC and 3.2 Carrera. THE MOTORCAR OFFERED Only 646 3.0 Carrera Targas were built in 1977. Of those, only 365 were left hand drive models—a rare car indeed. This intoxicating European specification example is finished in its original color of Ice Green Metallic over a black interior with Porsche factory plaid inserts. This is the successor to the 2.7RS and the Carrera that was never made available to customers in the US. The car's second owner imported it to the States in 1985. Since being imported, the car has lived a pampered life in the hands of marque enthusiasts. Under the care of the consignor, the Euro 3.0-liter Targa has recently been treated to an engine rebuild by Rennwerke Porsche of Elmsford, New York. While the engine was out for the rebuild, the car had many other items refreshed including the Koni shocks and new bushings all around. The accident and rust-free body was taken down to bare metal and resprayed in its original Ice Green Metallic color. Moreover, the interior received a freshening with new carpets and reupholstered seats. The rare and desirable "Fatty" steering wheel, which is thicker than the standard wheel with a lower center hub allowing better visibility of the gauges, has also been fully restored. The factory Fuchs alloy wheels were sent to Harvey Weidman where they received a factory RS style finish before being fitted with new Pirelli tires. The car has been gone through from top to bottom to ensure that it is sorted and ready to be enjoyed by its next fortunate owner. The Carrera 3.0 is a historically significant model, bringing together elements of two of Porsche's most legendary cars. It was the new incarnation of the 1973 Carrera 2.7 RS and was the only Porsche to share the awesome new 930 Turbos die-cast aluminum engine case and gearbox housing. The 3.0 Carreras represent one of the best kept secrets in the Porsche market. They are not only a limited production model, but also offer incredible performance and driver feedback.
