Rally-Specification Porsche 911 SC Coupe
When Porsche introduced the 911 SC in 1977, it marked the salvation of the model in more ways than one. The 928 was poised to succeed the 911, but the SC, short for Super Carrera, proved that the air-cooled flat-six was far from finished. With its 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine and robust engineering, the SC became one of the most beloved 911 models. Thanks to its reliability, it also established itself as a firm favourite in historic rallying.
This 1979 911 SC underwent an extensive body-off restoration in 2018: the bodywork was stripped back to bare metal and completely rebuilt. During this process, the car was professionally converted into a rally car. The original 3.0-litre engine was rebuilt, modified and enlarged to 3.2 litres, now producing 222 hp, more than 40 hp above its original factory output. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential, supported by a fully modified suspension setup.
The rally equipment is equally impressive: a certified roll cage, kill switches, a fire suppression system that can be activated from both inside and outside the car, a Terratrip tripmaster, a camera system, a Sparco communication system, a Webasto auxiliary heater and a 100-litre fuel tank for long rally stages. The restoration and all modifications are recorded in a comprehensive documentation folder.
The light blue paintwork with its orange centre stripe, extending from the front bumper across the roof to the rear spoiler, makes this 911 instantly recognisable as a tribute to the legendary Gulf racing colours. Black Porsche lettering along the sides, a lamp pod mounted on the bonnet, additional yellow fog lights and mud flaps further emphasise its rally character. The car sits on classic 15-inch Fuchs wheels, the iconic five-spoke design that has become inseparable from the 911.
Inside, the attention to detail is just as evident. The Sparco bucket seats with Sandtler harnesses feature checked fabric inserts in exactly the same shades of blue and orange, a pattern that is repeated on the door panels. The dashboard combines a suede-trimmed upper section with carbon-fibre panels and classic round VDO gauges, complemented by a MOMO steering wheel with a yellow 12 o'clock marker. The roll cage is painted in the body colour, creating a seamless connection between the exterior and interior and giving the car a consistent, cohesive appearance throughout.
Climb in, fasten your harness and head for the next rally: that is exactly what this 911 SC was built for.
