Produced for only two years (1976 & 1977), the 911 Carrera 3.0 is a rare, European-market-only model that pairs a lightweight G-series body with a naturally aspirated 3.0L flat-six engine derived from the legendary 911 Turbo (930). A "bridge" model between the preceeding Carrera 2.7 and the upcoming SC, the Carrera 3.0 offered 197 bhp and a 0–60 mph time of 6.5 seconds. Just as with the legendary Carrera RS 2.7 from 1973, the Carrera 3.0 was offered in both 'Comfort' and 'Sport' specifications depending on buyer's needs. With only 3,687 built in total, the Carrera 3.0 retains a special place in the history of the 911.
This exceptional Porsche boasts an ironclad connection to the inner sanctum of the Porsche-Piëch dynasty. Its original owner, Mag. Josef Michael Ahorner, is the great grandson of the legendary Ferdinand Porsche, the man who created the iconic brand. His grandmother, Louise Piëch (Ferdinand Porsche’s daughter), famously steered the family’s business interests through its formative years. Today, Josef Ahorner represents the elite fourth generation of the multi-billionaire Porsche-Piëch family line — the guardians of the Porsche heritage.
Far from just a historical namesake, Mr. Ahorner is an influential powerhouse in the modern automotive world. Not only is he is a major core shareholder of Porsche Automobile Holding SE — the multi-billion-dollar entity that retains a majority voting stake in the Volkswagen Group, his profound industry expertise is relied upon at the highest levels. Notably, he serves as an active member of the Supervisory Board for Porsche SE, Audi AG, and Lamborghini. To own a vehicle originally commissioned for the Porsche family is to possess an intimate piece of the legnedary company's founding family's history.
This investment-grade 1976 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 Coupe is finished in stunning Silver Mtallic over an impeccably preserved Black leather and Green Tartan cloth interior. Special-ordered new for Josef Michael Ahorner of the Porsche family and specified with forged 15-inch Fuchs alloy wheels, a black headliner, a Blaupunkt AM/FM/cassette stereo, and incredibly rare 'Fuhrmann' seats. Named for the celebrated Porsche engineer and executive, Dr. Ernst Fuhrmann, these orthopedic-style seats were reportedly developed to offer improved support and comfort and were typically only specified on cars for the Porsche family or other VIPs. I personally believe that - because of these extremely rare options, low miles, exceptional condition, and world-class Porsche provenance - the investment potential of this iconic motorcar will grow beyond your imagination. Offered to the most sophisticated collector, investor, or enthusiast who desires to own one of the very best an investment price!
