Throughout its history, Porsche has consistently demonstrated an
exceptional ability to adapt to changing market demands,
governmental regulations, and client preferences, resulting in some
of the most coveted and gratifying sports cars ever conceived. The
1974 and 1975 Porsche 911 Carrera with two different kinds of Bosch
fuel-injection exemplify this adaptability, representing two
significant changes for the evergreen 911.
In response to North American emissions requirements, Porsche
implemented two parallel engineering solutions for 1974. For the
U.S. market, Porsche developed a tamer variant utilizing the Bosch
K-Jetronic Continuous Injection System (CIS), paired with an
enlarged 2.7-liter displacement. Rest-of-World (RoW) specification
Carreras retained the Type 911/83 mechanical fuel injection (MFI)
system, carrying forward the highly regarded RS 2.7-liter
powertrain. This RoW variant, commonly referenced as the "Euro
Carrera" in North American circles, maintained a closer technical
lineage to the revered 1973 Carrera RS. Simultaneously, to meet
federal impact requirements, the marque introduced a set of bumpers
with hydraulic shock absorbers-a design challenge that Porsche met
with characteristic tact, earning widespread acclaim from
enthusiasts for their seamless integration.
Bridging the gap between the classic long-hood cars and the 911 SC,
this particular RoW 1975 Porsche 911 MFI Coupe is presented in
classic Grand Prix White with black "Carrera" side scripts. The
interior boasts black leatherette-upholstered seats with
period-correct tweed fabric seat inserts complemented by a sunroof.
According to its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, the car was
originally finished in Light Yellow with equipment for Switzerland
and reportedly remained there until it was imported to the United
States in 2013. The car was additionally equipped when new with
option group R09, Koni shock absorbers, "S" specification brakes,
under-bumper white fog lights, black Carrera door script, antenna
with loudspeaker and noise suppression, black roofliner, rear
spoiler, five-speed transmission, and Dunlop tires. Furthermore,
the car notably retains its original, matching-numbers
fuel-injected 2.7-liter engine and transmission corresponding with
its CoA. The engine is said to have undergone a comprehensive
rebuild along with its 019 MFI pump and RS stacks and throttle
bodies circa 2015 under previous ownership. Invoices on file show
further sorting took place in 2016 at Swiss Motors, including the
replacement of the thermostat and oil lines, a new battery, and
fluids change.
One of just 509 RoW Coupes built for 1975, this exceptional example
with its matching-numbers 210-horsepower fuel-injected engine
presents a compelling opportunity to acquire a well-maintained
example of Porsche's air-cooled legacy.
