Porsche 911 (G-Body)<\/h1>\n

The Ultimate Guide to the 1974 – 1989 Porsche 911<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

The Porsche 911 G model was a true perennial and was built for a full 17 years. During this time, engines were built with 2.7, 3.0 and 3.2 liters. The narrow G-model (from 1974 to 1977) over the 911 SC, the Carrera 3.0 to the Carrera 3.2 gave it a large variety of variants, colors and equipment. The G-Body saw the introduction of impact bumpers to conform with low speed protection requirements of U.S. law, these bumpers being so successfully integrated into the design that they remained unchanged for 15 years. This is our ultimate guide.<\/span><\/p>\n

The most obvious feature of the G-body is its prominent bumpers. These were added to meet US safety regulations, and while controversial, they’ve become a defining characteristic of this generation.<\/p>\n

Following the famous 1973 F-model 911 Carrera RS 2.7, Porsche built its successor based on the G-model and it was called the 911 Carrera RS 3.0. With its new 3.0-liter engine, featuring mechanical fuel injection, it was capable of 230 hp and boy, was it rare, with only 56 made. Then there was the Option M491 which was called the ‘Supersport’ in the UK, and commonly referred to as the ‘Turbo-look’. From August 1987 to September 1989 Porsche produced the model 911 Carrera Club Sport, or 911 Carrera CS. There was also the Speedster, a 2 seater, low-roof version of the Cabriolet, reminiscent of the model 356 Speedster of the 50’s.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
