The next generation – ten years after the car made its premiere, the Porsche engineers gave the 911 a comprehensive makeover. Known as the ‘G-model’, the new generation 911 was built from 1973 to 1989 – a longer period than any other. A particular feature of this evergreen was the striking bellows-style bumpers – an innovation created in order to comply with the latest US crash test requirements. Three-point safety belts fitted as standard and seats with integrated headrests also provided increased occupant safety. With changes to reflect the changing political and economic climate in the world of automobiles. The new model had improved flexibility and power delivery, improved economy, and improved safety. The cleaner running continuous injection system coupled with an increase in displacement from 2.4 liters to 2.7 liters made the new car easier to drive in a wide range of conditions obviating the need for so many gear changes. The neatly integrated impact bumpers allowed the 911 to comply with new safety laws in a more elegant way than any other car company could manage. The use of K-Jetronic CIS Bosch fuel injection in two of the three models in the line up— the 911 and 911S models, retaining the narrow rear arches of the old 2.4, now had a 2.7-litre engine producing 150 HP and 175 HS respectively.

Since this is a Europe model it has the more powerful engine than the US models. We have limited history for this car but based on near total lack of wear and tear on the interior the displayed mileage below 80.000 km may be accurate. Fully matching numbers. The “petrolblau metal” with the black leather/cloth is a very tasteful combination, and as full EU model the looks will be stunning.

The car is undergoing a careful Bronze restoration and will like all other cars pass our 9-11 Test sheet to ensure the good quality.

 

Important: to ensure highest quality each car will undergo 500km test phase once the restoration is complete. Please feel free to contact us at classic@cartd.dk  if you have any further questions or concerns.
